EXCERPT:
EMANUEL: “Look, I think everyone is being honest. We don’t know. And one of the reasons we don't know is China hasn’t been completely transparent with all the data, including the blood samples from the people in the Wuhan Institute who got sick early in November. We need all the data and we need transparency, and we do need the Chinese to participate because, you know, the real issue is not how did this happen, the real issue is how do we protect ourselves from the next pandemic and how do we have an early warning system for whether it’s naturally occurring or a laboratory leak. We still need to protect ourselves so we don’t have 3, 4, 5, 10 million people die unnecessarily.”
