The CCP says the virus may be imported from the cold chain, the WHO expert group questioned

The World Health Organization (WHO) expert team leader once in Wuhan agreed that the CCP’s official claim that the source of the epidemic does not rule out cold chain import. However, some members of the WHO expert group revealed after returning to their country that the mainstream opinion of the expert group was skeptical and believed that "the possibility is not very high."

Japanese scholar Ken Maeda, one of the members of the WHO expert group who traced the source of the epidemic in Wuhan, said in an exclusive interview with the Japanese media "Kyodo News Agency" that the expert group members are skeptical of the CCP’s claim that the right virus is imported from abroad through cold chain logistics Position, the mainstream opinion of the expert group believes that "the possibility is not very high."

He also disclosed that the expert group had expressed its hope to investigate the live mammal trading situation of the intermediate host, but the CCP government claimed that the survey results showed that there were no live mammals in the market at that time, but admitted that rabbit meat and ferret badger meat were sold in the market. It is difficult to grasp the actual situation due to the failure to obtain evidence from relevant persons and businesses, coupled with the denial of the Chinese side.

Not only foreign experts are skeptical about cold chain logistics importing the virus into China, but even experts in China hold different opinions.

On 23 January, Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the "Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Clinical Treatment Expert Group" of the Shanghai Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a CCTV program, "So far, China has consumed countless seafood and bought countless things. I just look at the probability. You were infected because you bought something imported from abroad. No case has occurred so far. When the probability is lower than that of an air crash, you decide for yourself."

During the period from 1 October to 10 December 2019, Wuhan Sixth Hospital, Wuhan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Hankou District), and Wuhan Eighth Hospital reported deaths from unexplained pneumonia. There are 9 cases of pneumonia with clinical features.

As for the fever patients in accordance with the imaging characteristics of the Chinese Communist Party’s pneumonia, only eight hospitals including Wuhan Puren Jiang’an Hospital, Wuhan Yaxin General Hospital and Wuhan Eighth Hospital reported 40 cases while Puren Jiang’an Hospital had the earliest one case occurred on 25 September 2019.

Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, a former US Army microbiology researcher and director of the Department of Virology at the Walter Reed Army Research Institute, believes that this epidemic is likely to have erupted in Wuhan on a certain scale in October and November 2019, and that such a large area may be needed. In the hospital screening, some individual hospitals reported that the CCP's pneumonia-like cases with imaging characteristics mentioned the onset of September 2019, and the death of unexplained pneumonia occurred in mid-October last year, indicating that the CCP is hiding information.

He emphasized whether these hospitals still retain records. If all records are taken by the CCP’s national investigation team, if other countries want to investigate again, they will be unable to investigate.
