p*******m 发帖数: 24 | 1 Wade makes a few points that demand consideration. The first is that the
bats that Chinese officials claimed to be the source of SARS-CoV-2 have yet
to be discovered, even after an intensive search by authorities that
included the testing of 80,000 animals. There is also no evidence that the
coronavirus jumped from bats to people through an intermediary host, as
SARS1 did in 2002 (a bat virus spread first to civets and then to people).
Surely, if bats were the original source of COVID-19, scientists could
identify the intermediary host through which it was spread. They’ve had no
such luck.
Wade also points out a few other holes in the Chinese government's story.
For example, why, if COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan wet market, were there
earlier cases of the coronavirus with no link to the wet market? And why
should a naturally spread epidemic break out in Wuhan and (at first) nowhere
else?
This is where the lab-leak theory starts to make more sense. It is no secret
that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was studying coronaviruses, thanks in
large part to funding by U.S. agencies, such as the National Institutes of
Health. However, what you might not know is that Wuhan scientists were
specifically creating novel coronaviruses “with the highest possible
infectivity for human cells,” Wade writes. This research wasn’t being
conducted maliciously, as far as we know. Wade explains that oftentimes
scientists will create and test chimeric viruses to learn how they attack
human cell cultures and how they “spill over” from animal species to
humans.
