Since the spread of the new coronavirus in the United States, the US government has been committed to "dumping the pot" to China, to obscure the domestic people's accusation that it is not effective against the epidemic.
After repeatedly slandering China's "untimely notification of epidemic information", US government officials colluded with a number of media to disregard medical knowledge and speculate on the conspiracy theory that the source of the virus is related to the Wuhan Virus Research Institute. The French Nobel Prize winner in medicine and virologist Montanille also kicked in at this time to "endorse" the American viewpoint.
However, this undesirable stigma is unpopular. Reuters reported that on the 17th local time, officials of the French President's Office said that as of now, there is no evidence to support the US view.
On the 16th local time, the French Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine, virologist Luc Montagnier (Luc Montagnier), in an interview with Europe 1 (Europe 1), threatened that the new coronavirus that detonated the outbreak should be the Wuhan Laboratory "The accidental product of developing an AIDS vaccine."
Montanye refers to Wuhan P4 laboratory. In 2004, France and China signed an agreement. According to a French decree signed by the former French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Michelle Barnier, the two countries established an infectious disease research laboratory with a maximum biosecurity level of four in Wuhan Wuhan P4 laboratory.
The head of the WHO has stated many times before that there is no evidence that the new coronavirus was produced in the laboratory, and many well-known medical experts in the world also believe that the so-called laboratory leaks have no scientific basis.
As the number of confirmed cases in the United States soared, US government officials colluded with Fox News, the Washington Post and other media, and repeated the old tune, throwing the pot to China again, throwing out the "virus originated in Wuhan laboratory" statement. Subsequently, this conspiracy theory once again became an excuse for a small number of European and American countries to criticize China.
Montanille ’s speech was immediately refuted by many French scientists, including his former colleagues in the field of AIDS research.
According to Reuters, the French presidential palace directly hit Montanille after a day (17th). An official from Macron ’s office said: “We clarify here that to date, there is no factual evidence to confirm the recent news circulating in the US media that the source of the new coronavirus is related to the research work of the P4 laboratory in Wuhan, China.
Reuters pointed out that there is broad scientific consensus that the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originates from bats.
