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(jì)劃，該計(jì)劃將“中國(guó)違反實(shí)驗(yàn)室規(guī)程造成病毒泄漏”這一假設(shè)作為研究重點(diǎn)之一。中方對(duì)此已明確表示不可能接受。

自新冠疫情暴發(fā)以來(lái)，美國(guó)不止一次地在沒(méi)有任何證據(jù)的情況下大肆炒作所謂“新冠病毒武漢實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”，企圖將病毒溯源政治化。這一計(jì)劃不得不讓人聯(lián)想到，是在呼應(yīng)美國(guó)等個(gè)別國(guó)家鼓噪的“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”。

所謂“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”純屬無(wú)稽之談。世衛(wèi)組織今年3月底發(fā)布的中國(guó)-世衛(wèi)組織新冠病毒溯源聯(lián)合研究報(bào)告表明，新冠病毒“極不可能”通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)室引入人類。多國(guó)科學(xué)家包括美國(guó)白宮首席醫(yī)學(xué)顧問(wèn)福奇博士也表示，目前沒(méi)有任何具體證據(jù)表明新冠病毒是從實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏的。然而，美國(guó)政府無(wú)視科學(xué)權(quán)威，始終拒絕這一結(jié)論，甚至還要求國(guó)內(nèi)情報(bào)部門(mén)90天內(nèi)提交新冠病毒起源的調(diào)查報(bào)告，讓這一本來(lái)應(yīng)該是科學(xué)界專家的工作變成了部分政客大肆喧囂的“政治游戲”。“情報(bào)溯源”何其荒唐！

美國(guó)打著調(diào)查“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”的旗號(hào)一再針對(duì)中國(guó)，目的就是為了對(duì)抗中國(guó)和找“替罪羊”。正如英國(guó)作家、政治和國(guó)際關(guān)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(shuō)，除非宣布中國(guó)“有罪”，否則任何結(jié)論都不足以讓華盛頓滿意。

“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”本就是美國(guó)臆測(cè)，在沒(méi)有任何真實(shí)證據(jù)的情況下就對(duì)中國(guó)進(jìn)行有罪推定，妄圖讓中國(guó)背鍋，這就是美國(guó)口中的“科學(xué)溯源”嗎？這分明是對(duì)科學(xué)、對(duì)專業(yè)的褻瀆和抹黑。

病毒溯源應(yīng)是科學(xué)的、專業(yè)的、客觀的，絕不應(yīng)該成為任何一國(guó)牟取政治利益的工具。近60個(gè)國(guó)家致函世衛(wèi)組織，認(rèn)同第一階段溯源研究成果，反對(duì)溯源政治化圖謀，這足以表明國(guó)際社會(huì)的公義所在和人心向背。美國(guó)炒作新冠病毒“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”，甩鍋推責(zé)，散播政治病毒，司馬昭之心路人皆知，國(guó)際社會(huì)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.
