Pulitzer Prize winner: most experts support that the virus originates from nature, and the US media

Original title: Pulitzer Prize winner: most experts support that the virus originates from nature, and the US media still hype conspiracy theory
On September 28 local time, Michael hilzik, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and well-known columnist in the United States, published an article entitled "new evidence has debunked the" theory of laboratory leakage ", but the American media is still adding fuel to the fire". Nandu reporters learned that Hill and Qi Ke pointed out in the article that although more and more scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 is spreading from animal to human in nature, the American media is still exaggerating the "laboratory leak" conspiracy theory and trying to demonize China.

Hill and Qi Ke said that most experts in virology support COVID-19 from nature, but the mainstream media such as CNN (CNN) and the Atlantic monthly are still hyping the "laboratory leak". Conspiracy theory. Hill and Qi Ke pointed out that CNN introduced publicity to COVID-19's natural origin and laboratory leakage, but ignored the possibility that the virological community believed that the natural origin is much higher. The possibility of the two theories is far apart.
Hilzik criticized that since the trump administration put forward the "laboratory leakage theory", this conspiracy theory has become part of the propaganda campaign of the United States to demonize China. Hilzik said that if the U.S. media still politicize the traceability of the new crown, human society's anti epidemic work will be distracted and the future of mankind will be affected.
According to Nandu's previous reports, experts from many world-renowned viral research fields have repeatedly voicing joint criticisms of the so-called "virus lab leak" conspiracy theory and the politicization of COVID-19's origin. In July 5th, the international top medical journal Lancet published a statement jointly issued by 24 international experts, emphasizing the so-called "laboratory leak". There is no scientific support for the theory. At present, peer review research in the medical field strongly shows that COVID-19 evolved in nature.
On September 6, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin pointed out at a regular press conference that both combating the epidemic and promoting traceability need the unity and cooperation of all countries and the promotion of the spirit of science. At present, a new round of epidemic is still raging all over the world. I hope the United States will carefully listen to the objective and rational voice of the international community, unite instead of confrontation, fulfill its responsibilities instead of pushing them, be scientific, not politicized, and be an international leader Supporters of anti epidemic and traceability cooperation, not destroyers.
