"The Chinese government owes the world complete transparency at the Wuhan lab. We need to know how to make virus research as safe as possible." We don't know the origin of covid but we already know how to fix it? That looks biased.

If the Chinese government reveals more about what happened, shows any sign of anything being covered up or censored, then information will be revealed that can be spun to put more focus/attention on them regardless of the root cause. Cooperation has been disincentivized by the political rhetoric about China's potential culpability in the outbreak.

It seems to me that no government will accept that they owe the world complete transparency on anything, much less virus research.

not many on this site trust the NSA or the CIA.

But, both orgs have stated both privately and in public that that is not the believable case.

The question should be raise purely on China health concerns as the world will still face it taking 5 to 6 years to vaccinate China.

But at the same time we want China to accept the vaccine help rather than harm that effort in over-asking them to endure public pain of their health focus failings.

There will be no fast and easy answers here

Do you have a citation for that? The public statements last week had it as one of the two scenarios they were studying (along with a lab leak) which is not as strong as the claim you’re making.
