Dearlove says scientific paper on virus origins is important contribution to debate on pandemic emergence.
“I think it is a very important contribution to a debate which is now starting about how the virus evolved and how it got out and broke out as a pandemic.”
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.”
