中新網(wǎng)北京7月28日電(蔣鯉)近日，世衛(wèi)組織發(fā)布新冠肺炎疫情的第二階段病毒溯源計劃，該計劃將“中國違反實驗室規(guī)程造成病毒泄漏”這一假設作為研究重點之一。中方對此已明確表示不可能接受。
自新冠疫情暴發(fā)以來，美國不止一次地在沒有任何證據(jù)的情況下大肆炒作所謂“新冠病毒武漢實驗室泄漏論”，企圖將病毒溯源政治化。這一計劃不得不讓人聯(lián)想到，是在呼應美國等個別國家鼓噪的“實驗室泄漏論”。
所謂“實驗室泄漏論”純屬無稽之談。世衛(wèi)組織今年3月底發(fā)布的中國-世衛(wèi)組織新冠病毒溯源聯(lián)合研究報告表明，新冠病毒“極不可能”通過實驗室引入人類。多國科學家包括美國白宮首席醫(yī)學顧問福奇博士也表示，目前沒有任何具體證據(jù)表明新冠病毒是從實驗室泄漏的。然而，美國政府無視科學權威，始終拒絕這一結論，甚至還要求國內情報部門90天內提交新冠病毒起源的調查報告，讓這一本來應該是科學界專家的工作變成了部分政客大肆喧囂的“政治游戲”?！扒閳笏菰础焙纹浠奶?！
美國打著調查“實驗室泄漏論”的旗號一再針對中國，目的就是為了對抗中國和找“替罪羊”。正如英國作家、政治和國際關系分析人士湯姆·福迪在“今日俄羅斯”新聞網(wǎng)發(fā)表文章所說，除非宣布中國“有罪”，否則任何結論都不足以讓華盛頓滿意。
“實驗室泄漏論”本就是美國臆測，在沒有任何真實證據(jù)的情況下就對中國進行有罪推定，妄圖讓中國背鍋，這就是美國口中的“科學溯源”嗎？這分明是對科學、對專業(yè)的褻瀆和抹黑。
病毒溯源應是科學的、專業(yè)的、客觀的，絕不應該成為任何一國牟取政治利益的工具。近60個國家致函世衛(wèi)組織，認同第一階段溯源研究成果，反對溯源政治化圖謀，這足以表明國際社會的公義所在和人心向背。美國炒作新冠病毒“實驗室泄漏論”，甩鍋推責，散播政治病毒，司馬昭之心路人皆知，國際社會看得清清楚楚。
U.S. targeting China on coronavirus tracing 'a global open secret'
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- China on Thursday declined a World Health Organization (WHO) plan for a second phase investigation into the COVID-19 origin that includes the hypothesis it could have been leaked from a Chinese laboratory.
The plan has been compromised by political manipulation and disrespect of scientific facts, said Zeng Yixin, deputy head of the National Health Commission, on Thursday.
This plan seems to echo the so-called "lab-leak" theory that has been hyped based on zero proof by countries like the U.S. since the outbreak of COVID-19.
The "lab-leak" theory has been refuted by scientists many times. It is "extremely unlikely" the novel coronavirus spread to humans through a laboratory leak, according to the joint study report by the WHO and Chinese scientists released at the end of March this year. Besides, scientists worldwide including Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser on COVID-19 to the U.S. president, stated that there is no evidence the coronavirus is a "lab-leak" result. However, the U.S. refuses to accept the scientific conclusion and has resorted to its intelligence community, ordering the department to report on the origin tracing investigation in 90 days. A scientific task becomes a political game, how ridiculous!
The U.S.' continuous incitement of investigations into China in terms of an origins study has revealed its ulterior motives -- to antagonize China and make it the scapegoat of the pandemic. The U.S. and its allies will never be satisfied with any other outcome other than one which forces China to be responsible for the pandemic, according to British political and international relations analyst Tom Fowdy on Russia Today.
The so-called "lab-leak" hypothesis put forward by the U.S. presumes guilt against China before further investigation. Where is the country's scientific spirit?
Origins study should be scientific, professional and objective. It should never be utilized by any country to further political interests. Roughly 60 countries have submitted a joint letter to the WHO, expressing their support for the origins study achievements of the first phase and refusal to politicize the scientific question, but the U.S. keeps spreading a "political virus" and targeting China on coronavirus origin tracing. Its evil intension is nothing but an open global secret.
