Statement by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan

FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

The mission of the World Health Organization (WHO) has never been more important, and we have deep respect for its experts and the work they are doing every day to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and advance global health and health security. That is why President Biden rejected and reversed the Trump Administration’s decision to disengage from the WHO. But re-engaging the WHO also means holding it to the highest standards.  And at this critical moment, protecting the WHO’s credibility is a paramount priority. We have deep concerns about the way in which the early findings of the COVID-19 investigation were communicated and questions about the process used to reach them. It is imperative that this report be independent, with expert findings free from intervention or alteration by the <Chinese> government. To better understand this pandemic and prepare for the next one, China must make available its data from the earliest days of the outbreak. Going forward, all countries, including China, should participate in a transparent and robust process for preventing and responding to health emergencies — so that the world learns as much as possible as soon as possible.

이미 이전글에서 쓰긴 하셨지만 파우치 박사나 보건관련부서가 아닌 국가안보보좌관이 이런 입장을 발표했다는게 특이하게 보이네요.

그리고 이번 행정부는 트럼프와 달리 WHO에서 이탈하진 않겠다고 분명히 말하였으나, WHO의 입장을 일방적으로 받아들이지 않고 최고의 엄격한 기준을 요구하겠다고 하네요.

반면 중국에게는 중국이 WHO 조사팀에개 공개를 거부했던 사태 초기의 데이터들을 내놓으라고 정면으로 요구하고 있으며, 그 데이터는 투명(transparent)하며 오차와 이상점(outlier)에 영향받지 않아야 한다고(robust, 통계학쪽의 의미) 약간 돌려서 요구하고 있네요.

중국에게 말하기 때문에 국가안보보좌관이 발표해야 하는 걸지도 모르갰네요. 파우치 박사가 중국에게 뭔가 요구하는 그림은 상상하기 어려우니까요.
