Edit: link has changed to ap news (didn't know that was even a thing you could do after posting to HN?) This story seems like more idle speculation with the backing of a semi-official source (but not in his official capacity). Absolutely no new evidence is presented in the story, it's just one person's opinion. Also, this source is a right-wing media org, and in comments to the Washington Post later he walked the story back[1]: > Asked for comment, Ben Embarek initially said the interview had been mistranslated in English-language media coverage. “It is a wrong translation from a Danish article,” he wrote, declining to comment further and referring The Washington Post to the WHO. He did not immediately respond to follow-up questions. [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/08/12/who-origins-embarek/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/08/12/who-origins-...
