What happened to the independent inquiry to
be held in China about the coronavirus?
so far ZERO.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-17/ ... 9/12256910
As of Sunday evening, Canberra time, 62 nations — including Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Russia, South Africa and the United Kingdom — had backed the motion.
The motion does not specifically mention China or the city of Wuhan where the outbreak is believed to have begun.
Coronavirus investigation call made Australia a target
Australia experienced astonishing hostility from our Chinese trading partner after calling for an inquiry into the start of the outbreak — but we're not the only ones feeling their wrath, writes Andrew Probyn.
But it does say the WHO should work with the World Organisation for Animal Health to conduct "scientific and collaborative field missions" and "identify the zoonotic source of the virus and the route of introduction to the human population, including the possible role of intermediate hosts".
Australian Government sources said the language was strong enough to ensure that a proper and thorough investigation took place, although they are still calling this a "first step" towards ensuring transparency.
At this stage neither China nor the US have backed the motion. EU and Australian diplomats were still working on Sunday to convince both major powers to give their support.

Re: Independent inquiry on coronavirus?
No inquiry and no vaccine yet.
Covid-19 vaccine?
A vaccine could be a false promise -
it may not protect everyone and could
have terrible side effects including death.
Let's face reality -
Coronavirus is one type of cold virus -
we've had 100 years to come up with a vaccine without success
so why would this time be any different?
Also - the virus is always mutating so a vaccine now
may not protect someone 2 months later from a new strain.

The whole thing is over hyped.
