On July 22, the State Council Information Office held a press conference in Beijing to introduce the traceability of the new crown virus.
Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, refuted some rumors about the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He pointed out that the artificial modification of the virus will leave traces, and the new crown virus does not have such traces, so he fundamentally denied the possibility of artificial viruses.
He pointed out that so far, none of the staff and graduate students of Wuhan Institute of Virology has been infected with the new crown virus.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has no virus that can directly infect humans, nor has it conducted research on the controversial function of the new coronavirus, and there is no so-called artificial virus.
So where did the virus leak due to violation of laboratory procedures?
Therefore, this formulation violates both common sense and scientific laws.
