[ Daily Mail ] British doctor Peter Daszak who tried to gag Wuhan lab leak theory is FIRED from UN commission investigating COVID after he was exposed for organizing letter denying leak claim in The Lancet medical journal

The British scientist’s profile on commission website now shows him as recused

Daszak is president of New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, a medical nonprofit

Earlier this month, it emerged he’d organized a letter co-signed by scientists and published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet denouncing lab leak theory

Daszak did so despite having strong professional ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology – the Chinese lab COVID may have leaked from 

He has for years been a strong supporter of the work of the Wuhan laboratory

Anthony Fauci’s institute gave grants to EcoHealth to support Wuhan work

Daszak’s passionate defense of the Wuhan lab’s work has raised eyebrows

He said the idea that COVID-19 could have escaped from the lab was conspiracy

Daszak insisted live bats were not kept at Wuhan, but now admits they may

He is increasingly seen as a compromised figure without scientific objectivity
