There's Going To Be Covid-26 And Covid-32 Unless We Fully Understand Origins Of Covid-19: Top Vaccine Scientist

The United States-based Vaccine Scientist-Pediatrician Author Dr Peter Hotez said in a press meet that it's "absolutely essential" to investigate Covid-19's origin.

In a statement on Wednesday (26 May), US President Joe Biden ordered a renewed investigation into the virus's rise. He called the agencies to "redouble their efforts" and report to him again in 90 days whether it was more likely the virus crossed the species barrier from a natural reservoir or leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
