| WHO Experts: So far, no data supporting the "laboratory leak theory" of the new coronavirus has been published publicly |
Xinhua News Agency, London, August 26 (Reporter Guo Shuang) More than 10 experts from the World Health Organization expert group published a joint signed article in the British "Nature" published on the 26th, pointing out that a joint research report on the traceability of the new crown virus from China and the World Health Organization Since its release, "we have publicly called for the publication of any data supporting the'laboratory leak theory' of the new coronavirus and submit it to the WHO
.
But so far, there has not been
At the beginning of this year, 17 Chinese experts and 17 foreign experts formed a joint expert group to carry out a 28-day global traceability study in Wuhan.
The joint research report was officially released in March.
The conclusions included that the new crown virus passed the experiment.
It is "very unlikely" for the laboratory to introduce humans, to investigate potential early transmission in other countries "is important", etc.
, and to put forward specific recommendations for future traceability work
.
The jointly signed article pointed out that before the publication of the joint research report, some governments had put pressure on the WHO, saying that "China did not fully share data" and "not enough attention was paid to the'laboratory leak theory'"
.
When reviewing the work of the expert team in China, the article said that they interviewed clinical, laboratory, and public health professionals and visited institutions involved in the early response and follow-up investigation of the epidemic
.
The research work has received support from many sources.
The article emphasized that the Chinese team shared a lot of new information.
"In this mission, the scientific discussions between the international expert group and the Chinese team were very active and a lot of information was exchanged
.
" The two parties had a lot of discussions on necessary further work and continuous data sharing
When talking about the "laboratory leak theory," the article said that this did not belong to the original mission of the WHO expert group
.
Nevertheless, the group is still "had a frank discussion with the relevant bodies of the key scientists in Wuhan," "but found no evidence to continue tracking"
For some time, some media have equated the "laboratory leak theory" with the possibility of the introduction of the new coronavirus into humans via an animal (intermediate) host
.
But the article emphasizes, "We believe that the existing data does not support this view
The article emphasizes that the traceability of the new coronavirus is a science-based global priority and is currently in a critical period because the time window for conducting some key scientific researches on traceability is closing on a global scale
.
The article lists the priorities for future virus traceability research, including finding earlier cases of new crowns in all regions of the world
