The World Health Organization has fired a senior scientist who had a heavy role in claiming the COVID lab-leak theory was ‘unlikely’ over sexual misconduct accusations.
The agency said Peter Ben Embarek, a Danish scientist who previously headed up its ‘One Health’ initiative on diseases jumping from animals to humans, was removed from his post last year.
‘Peter Ben Embarek was dismissed last year following findings of sexual misconduct against him that were substantiated by investigations, and corresponding disciplinary process,’ said WHO spokesperson Marcia Poole.
