  VIDEO: A 2nd Compromised WHO “Investigator” Admits Labs in China Are
  Manipulating Coronaviruses

There’s a reason you don’t put foxes in charge of the henhouse, and it’s
the same reason why it’s utterly bonkers for the WHO to rely on
COI-riddled investigators to get to the bottom of the pandemic’s origin.

    WHO Investigator Admitted A Year Ago That Chinese Labs Manipulated
    Coronaviruses, Now Denies Ithttps://t.co/PwprjFZ33B

As WCW first exposed, WHO “investigator” Peter Daszak—who secretively
shipped U.S. tax dollars to the Wuhan Animal lab to supercharge
coronaviruses—
<https://blog.whitecoatwaste.org/2021/03/15/busted-us-org-that-sent-tax-to-wuhan-animal-lab-broke-federal-law-a-lot/>is
one big cause for concern and closer scrutiny.

*But, there’s also a second compromised WHO “investigator”–Marion
Koopmans-*– who has suspiciously downplayed the possibility COVID-19
leaked from the Wuhan Animal Lab, too! She has been directly involved in
risky and cruel animal experiments *funded by tens of millions of U.S.
taxpayer dollars* at Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.

*/“We are now looking whether we can change those viruses,” Koopmans
says in this February 2020 interview uncovered by WCW investigators
<https://youtu.be/Nbw_m2qCSAY>. “Can we add this virus to it, or can we
adjust those viruses to include this one. This is actively happening in
a few places worldwide, also in China.”/*

That’s right. Even though she’s dismissed the lab leak hypothesis, WCW
investigators uncovered *this newly-surfaced interview
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbw_m2qCSAY>* from last year where
Koopmans admits that animal labs in China have been manipulating natural
coronaviruses—which, of course, is the crux of the lab leak hypothesis.

Koopmans’ lab at Erasmus University.

Koopmans’ own experiments, including those paid for with your taxpayer
dollars, involve supercharging swine flu to make it deadlier and more
contagious, infecting ferrets, mice, and guinea pigs with the new virus
strains.

Koopmans has also received funding from the Chinese government
<https://thenationalpulse.com/news/exc-who-covid-investigator-is-chinese-cdc-advisor-who-accepted-ccp-research-grants/>,
whose obfuscation was called out by the Biden administration (and
others) as standing in the way of getting to the bottom of COVID-19’s
origins.

In fact, the Biden White House
<https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/u-s-still-hasn-t-completely-ruled-out-lab-accident-n1258032>
specifically said it could not rule out the possibility of COVID having
leaked from the Wuhan Animal Lab, because of the Chinese government’s
lack of transparency.

    “Perhaps the WHO final report will supply evidence to justify the
    investigators’ apparent lack of interest in pursuing the lab-leak
    theory. Does the WHO have the names of the lab researchers who fell
    ill? Were they interviewed?” https://t.co/k31SfPEzMu

In a /Washington Post/ column,
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/03/22/did-covid-19-escape-wuhan-lab-who-report-cant-be-final-word/>David
Feith, the former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East
Asian and Pacific Affairs, explains why Koopmans has a vested interest
in dismissing the lab leak hypothesis:

    Koopmans, by the way, has been associated with and now oversees
    <https://www.erasmusmc.nl/en/research/researchers/koopmans-marion> a
    Dutch lab that in 2011 caused an international uproar
    <https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2011/11/scientists-brace-media-storm-around-controversial-flu-studies> over
    risky “gain of function
    <https://www.nature.com/articles/nrmicro3405>” virology experiments
    that made a deadly influenza virus more transmissible among ferrets
    and possibly therefore among humans. (Ferrets and humans have
    similar respiratory biology.) This led scientists and governments
    worldwide, including the Obama administration, to favor limits
    <https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/white-house-to-cut-funding-for-risky-biological-study.html>
    on lab experiments involving potential pandemic pathogens, as they
    are called.

    This is precisely the sort of risky work that the Wuhan Institute of
    Virology specialized in — carried out in the very labs where
    researchers fell sick in fall 2019. *If the Wuhan institute were
    found to be the source of covid, it could threaten the credibility
    and funding of virology labs such as Koopmans’s. *

The /Wall Street Journal/ is among the other publications also calling
out Koopmans’ inclusion as a WHO investigator
<https://www.wsj.com/articles/who-are-the-covid-investigators-11613401955>,
given her obvious conflicts of interests:

    /If an investigation finds it likely that the Covid-19 pandemic was
    caused by gain-of-function research, that would have repercussions
    for labs around the world, including at Erasmus MC,” the WSJ
    editorial board wrote. Erasmus MC is Erasmus University Medical
    Center—which, again, is Koopmans’ animal lab./

In other words: Her funding, including *the millions of U.S. taxpayer
dollars the NIH has been throwing her way*, is at risk if it’s found
that these career-making animal experiments caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

*And yet she’s the one charged with doing the investigation into COVID’s
origins, along with /this/ guy!?👇🏼*

    The lab-leak hypothesis is becoming impossible to ignore. Peter
    Daszak–closely tied to the labs doing Gain of Function work on
    Corona viruses–is now a WHO inspector on the team investigating
    COVID origins in China.
