Pagkaraang punahin ng ilang miyembro ng grupo ng mga eksperto ng World Health Organization (WHO) ang mga kanluraning media na gaya ng New York Times, sa paggawa ng peke o pinilipit na ulat tungkol sa kanilang gawain sa Wuhan, at kooperasyon kasama ng panig Tsino, inilabas kamakailan ng New York Times ang orihinal nitong panayam kay Peter Daszak, miyembro ng nasabing grupo at ekspertong Amerikano sa mga sakit ng hayop.
Narito ang ilang bahagi ng panayam, at tingnan natin ang tunay na sinabi ng naturang ekspertong Amerikano.
From Day 1, the data we were seeing were new that had never been seen outside China. Who were the vendors in the Huanan Seafood Market? Where did they get their supply chains ...
When you asked for more, the Chinese scientists would go off, and a couple of days later, they've done the analysis, and we've got new information. It was extremely useful.
They'd actually done over 900 swabs in the end, a huge amount of work. They had been through the sewage system. They'd been into the air ventilation shaft to look for bats. They'd caught animals around the market. They'd caught cats, stray cats, rats, they even caught one weasel.
It was a very extensive study... And that, to me, was a real eye-opener.
