Biden said on Thursday (27) that he would publish the results of the 90-day inquiry, which has made a priority for the intelligence agencies. The move represents a dramatic turnaround from the ad- ministration’s policy until now of leaving the investigation to the World Health Organization (WHO). The US on Thursday called on the WHO to carry out a second phase of its investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, with independent experts given full access to original data and samples in China. “It is critical that China provides independent experts full access to complete, original data and samples relevant to un- derstanding the source of the virus and the early stages of the pan- demic,” said the US mission to the UN in Geneva. Beijing has reacted angrily, portraying Biden’s announcement as part of a broader geopolitical struggle.
