In 2020 Daszak was named by the World Health Organization as the sole U.S.-based representative on a team sent to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
An open letter co-authored by Daszak, signed by 27 scientists and published in The Lancet on 19 February 2020, stated: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin…and overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”
In May 2024 the United States Department of Health and Human Services suspended all federal funding for Daszak and the EHA, saying that he did not properly monitor research activities at the WIV and failed to report on their high-risk experiments.
