Former CDC director of China does not rule out the possibility that COVID-19 virus may have leaked from the lab And the Chinese government has already formally investigated it.
BBC News interviewed Professor Gao Fu, former director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who has played a key role in China’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak and its efforts to find its origin. The emergence of this deadly virus by Prof. Gao does not rule out the possibility that the virus may escape from the laboratory.
Prof Gao said on a BBC Radio 4 podcast, “You should be suspicious of everything. that is science Don’t cut anything out.” In contrast, the Chinese government rejects it outright. about the rumor that The COVID-19 virus may have emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the city where the outbreak was first discovered.
However, the Chinese government appears to be taking the theory more seriously than they have expressed, with Prof Gao saying the government had conducted some formal investigations into WIV, but that his agency or the CDC had not been involved. Investigations are carried out by other agencies that are experts in this field.
This is the first time an official has admitted that The government investigates the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Officially, however, Prof. Gao said he had heard that the WIV passed the review. Although he had not seen the results report with his own eyes. “I think their conclusion is that WIV complies with all protocols. They found no wrongdoing.”
However, many scientists around the world agree that The virus causing COVID-19 from bats But the question that has always been controversial is Where do bats get infected? This led to two hypotheses: the virus naturally spread from bats to humans; or maybe through other intermediary animals before Which many scientists are rooted in this theory.
But some scientists have stated that There is not enough evidence to rule out the possibility that The virus may have leaked from a lab in China. For example, accidentally stuck with one of the participants in the research. But going to check at WIV of international scientists I couldn’t find any evidence. amid allegations that China restricts access to information
