to make sure that this never happens again and i believe that we need a credible, open, transparent internationalrganization led by the world health organization and they are about to come out with a report about the origins of the pandemic in china that we have questions about because we do not believe that china has made available sufficient original data into how the pandemic began to spread in china and around the world and we believe that both the who and china should step up on this matter. host: scott gottlieb writing today in "the wall street journal," "the world says what"?
