Pottinger continued, noting the World Health Organization’s (WHO) probe to discern the origins of COVID-19 is a ruse and that the pathogen likely escaped through “‘leak or an accident.”
He encouraged British Members of Parliament (MP) to help expose the Chinese Communist Party’s role in manufacturing the virus, downplaying the wet market theory as being “openly dismissed” by “establishment figures in Beijing:
“MPs around the world have a moral role to play in exposing the WHO investigation as a Potemkin exercise. Even establishment figures in Beijing have openly dismissed the wet market story.”
