The group, chosen from more than 700 applicants, includes scientists from 26 countries, a reflection of the WHO’s effort to amass widespread international support for the work.
Inger K. Damon, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is one of 26 scientists named by the World Health Organization on Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2021, to a new advisory group charged with studying the origins of the coronavirus, opening another chapter of the fraught search for how the pandemic began.
The result of that visit was a joint report by the WHO-chosen team and China that said a leak of the coronavirus from a lab, while possible, was “extremely unlikely,” a conclusion that the WHO’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, later called premature. After a two-week public comment period that is customary before WHO advisory groups are set up, the committee will begin to meet.WHO officials said the group would assess recent studies, including those describing bats harboring close relatives of the virus behind COVID-19, and advise the organization on what future studies were needed — potentially including field research in China.
