石正麗回覆《科學》雜誌提問:特朗普欠我們一個道歉
7月24日,國際權威雜誌《科學》刊登了一篇武漢病毒研究所研究員石正麗通過郵件接受該雜誌提問採訪的稿件。
文章稱,石正麗在7月15日通過郵件回覆了《科學》提出的多個問題,包括病毒起源和武漢研究所的研究工作。
在回覆中,石正麗回擊了關於病毒起源的猜測。她稱自己和同事在2019年末從患有不明來源肺炎的患者的樣本中發現了病毒。“在此之前,我們從未接觸研究過該病毒,也不知道存在著這樣一種病毒。”
She and her colleagues discovered the virus in late 2019, she says, in samples from patients who had a pneumonia of unknown origin. “Before that, we had never been in contact with or studied this virus, nor did we know of its existence,” Shi wrote.
石正麗表示,“來自全球的科學家已經壓倒性地得出結論,新冠病毒源自自然界而不是任何機構。美國總統特朗普聲稱新冠病毒是從武漢病毒研究所泄露,這與事實完全相悖。這給我們的學術工作和個人生活帶來了傷害和影響。他欠我們一個道歉。”
Scientists from around the world have overwhelmingly concluded that SARS-CoV-2 originated naturally rather than from any institution. “U.S. President Trump’s claim that SARS-CoV-2 was leaked from our institute totally contradicts the facts,” she added. “It jeopardizes and affects our academic work and personal life. He owes us an apology.”
石正麗還在郵件中再次闡明,武漢實驗室沒有人感染新冠病毒。
近期,我們對武漢實驗室的所有員工和學生進行了血清檢測,沒有人感染新冠病毒,迄今為止武漢病毒所的所有員工和學生都是“零感染”。
Recently we tested the sera from all staff and students in the lab and nobody is infected by either bat SARSr-CoV or SARS-CoV-2. To date, there is “zero infection” of all staff and students in our institute.
新冠病毒很有可能起源自蝙蝠
另外,石正麗也表示新冠病毒很有可能源自蝙蝠。“基於我們團隊和國際同行之間的研究,新冠病毒很有可能起源自蝙蝠。它可能在一個或更多中間宿主中進化,變成適應人類,並最終在人類之間傳播。然而,我們現在仍不清楚哪些動物是中間宿主,也不知道這種病毒怎樣傳播到人類的。”
According to the findings of our team and our international peers, SARS-CoV-2 is very likely to have originated from bats. It may have evolved in one or more intermediate hosts, become adapted to humans, and eventually spread among humans. However, it remains unclear which animals were the intermediate hosts and how it spilled over to humans.
“我們在湖北監測蝙蝠病毒多年,但是並沒有在武漢甚至更廣範圍的湖北省發現有蝙蝠攜帶任何與新冠病毒密切相關的病毒,我不認為病毒從蝙蝠傳染給人類的情況發生在武漢或湖北。”
We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. I don‘t think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in Wuhan or in Hubei Province.
值得一提的是《科學》雜誌把石正麗的回覆分享給了幾位來自其他國家的權威研究員,多位研究員都給出了肯定的評價。
來自美國喬治城大學的傳染病學專家丹尼爾·盧西(Daniel Lucey)表示,石正麗回覆的內容貢獻很大,有很多事實是自己此前未曾注意到的,非常興奮能直接從石正麗那得知這些。
斯克利普斯研究所進化生物學家克里斯蒂安·安德森(Kristian Andersen)雖然有所疑問,但還是承認,石正麗的回答都是符合邏輯、真實,而且對科學原則的堅持符合人們對一位世界級的科學家和頂級新冠病毒研究專家的期待。
“But they’re all logical, genuine, and stick to the science as one would have expected from a world-class scientist and one of the leading experts on coronaviruses,” Andersen says.
