Gao Fu team wrote in the Lancet: Global COVID-19 should be politicized.

Original title: Gao Fu team wrote in the Lancet: the global new crown virus should be traced to politicization.
On September 30 local time, the official website of the top medical journal The Lancet published an article entitled "virus traceability: it takes time, international resources and cooperation" published by the team of academicians Gao Fu, director of the China Center for Disease Control and prevention. Nandu reporters learned that Gao Fu's team appealed to the whole world to politicize COVID-19's traceability problem and to trace the source of the virus from a scientific point of view with open mind and close international cooperation.

This article points out that previous scientists' experience in tracing the origin of viruses such as HIV has shown that virus traceability usually takes years or even decades. In addition, the geographical origin of the virus may not be related to the initial patient. It is pointed out that stored samples in a wide range of areas should be re tested, especially in countries or regions where virus evidence has appeared in blood samples or environmental samples before the outbreak of the epidemic. The article also calls on the whole world to be politicized in the issue of tracing the origin of the new crown virus, tracing the source of the virus from a scientific perspective with an open mind and close international cooperation.
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 origins. In July 5th, the international top medical journal "Lancet" issued a joint statement issued by 24 international experts, stressing that the so-called "laboratory leakage" theory has no scientific support. 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 fighting the epidemic and promoting traceability require unity and cooperation among countries and promote the scientific spirit. At present, a new round of epidemic is still raging around the world. It is hoped that the US side will seriously listen to the objective and rational voice of the international community, unite instead of confrontation, fulfill its responsibilities instead of pushing them, be scientific instead of politicized, and be a supporter rather than a destroyer of international anti epidemic and traceability cooperation.
