Dearlove says scientific paper on virus origins is important and will shift debate on pandemic evolution.
“I'm not a scientist, I'm not really prepared to speculate very far, but I think this particular article is very important, and I think it will shift the debate.”
Dearlove believes the pandemic started as an accident, not a deliberate Chinese act.
“I do think that this started as an accident. Okay, once it started, there are things about the Chinese behavior which are completely shocking, but there was nothing deliberate about the origins of it.”
