More reports of early virus justify fair probe of origin free of scapegoating

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 (China Daily-HK/ANN): When the world still remains in the shadow of Covid-19 outbreak, scientists' efforts in getting to the bottom of the pandemic origin and cause seemed to have been drowned in the seas of political posturing featured by unsubstantiated scapegoating from the White House and truth-defying conspiracy theories.

Washington seems to be seeking to ramp up the China-bashing in establishing Beijing's culpability of the outbreak spread, but more new scientific findings came to light, exposing that there were cases of dubious respiratory illness prior to the outbreak in Wuhan outside China.
