Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “we must understand” how COVID-19 started but China has gone out of its way “to stop us from learning the truth”. “That’s very suspicious,” Mr Bolt said. It comes after the World Health Organization’s Director-General declared the first report into the origins of COVID-19 shows that the “assessment was not extensive enough” and the theory the virus originated in a laboratory “requires further investigation”. Mr Bolt spoke to Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky to discuss the recently released World Health Organization report into the origins of COVID-19. “We need to know the origins of this virus,” Professor Petrovksy said. “Currently we can speculate about a possible animal source, we can speculate about a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan. “But the truth is at the moment we don’t have access to the information that we require to actually make that assessment. “So again, this report is limited in its scope and it’s disappointing that they still express, I think, quite unbalanced opinions about the relative merits of those different sources of the virus.”
