北京5月28日电(蒋鲤)近日，国际上有些人又在新冠肺炎疫情溯源问题上玩起了政治炒作的老把戏，抹黑甩锅言论“昨日重现”，“实验室泄漏”阴谋论再度泛起。
关于疫情溯源问题，中国一直主张在基于事实、尊重科学的基础上开展国际合作，以更好地应对人类未来的突发重大疫情。为此，中国本着负责任的态度和实事求是的科学精神，于2021年1月邀请世卫组织联合专家组到武汉开展了为期28天的病毒溯源工作。世卫组织在此基础上发布的新冠病毒溯源联合研究报告表明，新冠病毒“极不可能”通过实验室引入人类。
然而，部分美国政客对此视而不见，一门心思散布 “实验室泄漏”等阴谋论和虚假信息，这是对世卫组织专家组成员科学精神和研究成果的极大不尊重，更是对全球努力团结抗疫的亵渎和破坏。
凡是于中国有利的就是美国反对的，对此，一些别有心机的美国政客早已心照不宣。若美方真的关心疫情溯源的真相，想做到完全透明调查，那为什么世卫组织讨论下一阶段病毒溯源调查时，美国某些人对德特里克堡生物基地却只字不提呢？炒作疫情溯源问题，并不能掩盖美国国内抗疫失利的事实。奉劝美国尽早关注自身问题，尊重事实，切勿妄图去炮制“真相”。
Do U.S. politicians care about truth or made-up 'truth'?
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- The old trick of hyping the global tracing of COVID-19, making China a scapegoat of the pandemic and inciting "lab-leak theory,” has surged again in the United States.
China has always advocated for global cooperation in the tracing of COVID-19, based on facts and in a scientific way, to better cope with possible pandemics in the future. China invited a joint expert group from the World Health Organization to Wuhan to conduct a study of the origins of the coronavirus for 28 days starting from January 14, 2021. It is "extremely unlikely" that the novel coronavirus spread to humans through a laboratory leak, said the joint research report released by the WHO.
However, some U.S. politicians have turned a blind eye to the results and are zealous in disseminating the "lab-leak theory" and disinformation, which in no way respects science and the WHO's research results. It has also defiled and dismantled global efforts to fight the COVID-19.
The U.S. politicians with ulterior motives have long tacitly accepted that what is beneficial to China must always be firmly opposed. So they have remained silent about the Fort Detrick biolab, as the WHO discusses the next phase of virus traceability. If they really cared about the truth and wanted to pursue a transparent investigation, why would they do this? Hyping up the origin-tracing of the virus can't cover up the country's terrible handling of COVID-19. When will they focus on their domestic problems, respect facts and stop trying to make up so-called "truth"? 【编辑:孙静波】
