I was reading this for a bit wondering why a professor/doctor would make these statements, then I looked him up- he's an economist. He does not have the necessary medical or scientific credibility to make the accusations he's making, nor does he provide any reliable evidence supporting his claims. The Lancet commision shut itself down (https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2414) after it was made clear that their choice of investigator (Daszak) was about the last person you'd want to have involved.
In short: this claim is extremely serious but lacks the necessary evidence to convince anybody to run an investigation. Also, this sort of reminds me of how many times Lancet has looked foolish during COVID.
