The Institute of Public Affairs’ Gideon Rozner says he does not have faith in the WHO to actually uncover any answers with their probe into the origins of COVID-19.

It comes amid news a team of experts from the World Health Organisation is set to enter China this week and investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

“For whatever reason they (China) are allowing the inspection now, but there’s an old adage in politics: you shouldn’t launch an inquiry unless you know the answer,” Mr Rozner told Sky News host Chris Smith.

“I don’t have faith that the WHO will actually uncover anything with all of this.

“Don’t forget, this is the WHO that praised China on its coronavirus response, it denied evidence of human transmission, and it dragged its feet on declaring a pandemic to begin with.”
