Top WHO Scientist Behind Report Questioning COVID Lab Leak Theory Axed Over Alleged Sexual Misconduct
A Danish scientist who headed up the World Health Organization’s investigation into China over the origin of COVID has been fired over alleged sexual misconduct.
According to a new report from The Financial Times, Peter Ben Embarek was fired last year from the WHO after the organization said that they had found he was guilty of sexual misconduct following an investigation. Embarek was known for leading a WHO team investigation into the origins of COVID that declared the lab leak theory as “extremely unlikely.”
“Peter Ben Embarek was dismissed following findings of sexual misconduct against him and corresponding disciplinary process,” WHO spokeswoman Marcia Poole said. “The findings concern allegations relating to 2015 and 2017 that were first received by the WHO investigations team in 2018.”
Poole said that there were other “victim(s) [who] did not wish to engage with the investigation process.”
Embarek told Reuters that he was in the dark about allegations made against him, but said that a 2017 incident “was settled immediately in a friendly way.” (Read more from “Top WHO Scientist Behind Report Questioning COVID Lab Leak Theory Axed Over Alleged Sexual Misconduct” HERE)
