China has refused repeated requests by the World Health Organisation to take part in investigations into the origins of COVID-19, the WHO representative in China has told Sky News.
"We know that some national investigation is happening but at this stage we have not been invited to join," Dr Gauden Galea said.
"WHO is making requests of the health commission and of the authorities," he said. "The origins of virus are very important, the animal-human interface is extremely important and needs to be studied.
"The priority is we need to know as much as possible to prevent the reoccurrence."
Asked by Sky News whether there was a good reason not to include the WHO, Dr Galea replied: "From our point of view, no."
The Australian government has said that an independent public enquiry should be held into the origins of COVID-19, a measure EU countries are reportedly considering publicly endorsing.
China has reacted angrily, saying that the investigation into the virus should be a matter for scientists.
Dr Galea also told Sky News that the WHO had not been able to investigate logs from the two laboratories working with viruses in Wuhan, the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Wuhan CDC.
"From all available evidence, WHO colleagues in our three-level system are convinced that the origins are in Wuhan and that it is a naturally occurring, not a manufactured, virus," he said.
Nevertheless, according to Dr Galea, the laboratory logs "would need to be part of any full report, any full look at the story of the origins".
Dr Galea defended the WHO's role in the early days of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
"We only know what China is reporting to us at that period in time."

Natural and not manufactured does not mean it didn’t come from there.
It could be figured out but I don’t think the Chicoms would allow the comprehensive audit needed.
I thought WHO and China were buddies
of course I was too lazy to read anything but the first few lines of the article...but it seemed like WHO wanted to get in there
don’t really matter, what ever China say’s happened WHO will accept.
And whatever China contributes to WHO, USA should donate $1.00 more.
Not engineered is a lot different than not bred and naturally evolved.
I suspect they were repeatedly infecting something like ferrets which do transmit to humans with injected bat virus and then again with the result over and over again till this strain was bred. Natural, but not “Natural”
China’s Bat Woman at the WIV has been working on development of bat based human transmittable coronavirus for over one decade now.
This did not “evolve”.
Forced evolution. Essentially breeding. It was bred. It was not done via CRSPR.
It is how bioweapons have been done in the past. This does not exonerate the Chinese in any way. It just means they worked on this thing old school and didnt bioengineer it. They bred it via some intermediary animal for virulence in humans. Pangolins apparently.
Infect pangolin with bat virus. Extract the most virulent mutatated strain. Infect another pangolin with the new strain. Rinse and repeat. Breed the virus for virulence and human transmisability.
RNA viruses mutate like crazy as their replication is extremely error prone... DNA replication is good and highly accurate as it is error correcting given the two strands. RNA is a single strand and errors occur at several orders of magnitude more often leading to mutated virii. Evolve for virulence by picking the most virulent strains and repeating over and over increasing virulence and viruses multiply FAST so many mutations in the ginormous number of virii a single animal will produce while infected. This does not preclude that some initial tweaks were done via CRSPR and then it was evolved, but what diff does it make. It was bred.
Oh and BTW, Humans and Chimps share 98.8% of their genetic code. Humans and mice share 90%. This virus shares 96% of the code of the Horseshoe bat corona virus. Think about that for a minute. How many iterations did it take to vary by that whopping 4% ?
In the end that’s the truth
You think they can be bought?
That would actually be a good thing :)
Oh and another thing. This thing latches on to the ACE2 receptors (Think doorknobs) of human cells about 1000 times more effectively than the SARS virus. It also attaches to TCells via another receptor. TCells are immune cells. TCells are what AIDS attacks. That Bat Woman should be drawn and quartered as should all the Chinese Communist Party members for playing with fire and unleashing this conflagration upon the world.

I think you mean “USA should donate $1.00 “?
