"Washington/UNI: The US State Department's Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stresed on the need for China to share information regarding the origin of the virus.

In an interview given to CBS on Friday Pompeo said that sharing accurate information by China would help in saving lives "..it’s incredibly important, even as we sit here today, that we get to the bottom of what transpired and that the Chinese Communist Party come clean about how this all began. Look, we know it started in Wuhan, China; that’s the origination of the virus. We need to figure out how it happened.

It’s not just about political retribution or accountability. It’s important today. We need to know this so we can save lives going forward. We need our scientists, our academics, our epidemiologists all to have access to the data, access to a sample of the virus, access to the places it might have come to. Those are all things that matter so that we can solve this problem, get our country back to work, and save lives."

Pompeo accused China of preventing foreign health workers from entering Wuhan to help in the effort to contain the pandemic "First, this President(Donald Trump) and this administration worked diligently to work to get Americans on the ground there in China, to help to the World Health Organization try to get in there as well. We were rebuffed. The Chinese Government wouldn’t let it happen, indeed just the opposite of transparency. They kicked American journalists out and denied access to American and other Western scientists at the time that it was frankly most critical that we understand what was going on there.""

He signed up for a coronavirus vaccine trial using a method

that's never been used in humans. Here's why

By Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent

Updated 6:28 AM ET, Sat April 25, 2020

"(CNN)Despite all his medical knowledge, 31-year-old medical student and Ph. D. candidate Sean Doyle couldn't know for certain all the risks of the injection he had just received in his right shoulder at Emory University Hospital. Yes, of course he was told of the potential side effects, such as soreness in his arm, a fever, malaise. But when you are among the first people in the world to receive a vaccine injection, the real answer about the risks is simply "we don't know."

In fact, it's those very questions that he is helping us answer.

Sean is helping all of us figure out if it is safe, by putting up his hand first and volunteering. With that injection, Sean had become a critical part of the fastest moving vaccine trials in the history of the world, a vaccine for Covid-19."
