Russian experts refute "new crown virus artificial theory"
Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, April 21-The Russian "News" quoted the epidemiology and microbiology expert Alexander Semenov on the 21st as saying that the "new crown virus was artificially added with gene fragments" is not consistent with the facts. This statement In fact, it is to cover up some countries' "incompetence of the health system or faults in defending against the epidemic".
Semenov is currently the deputy director of the "Pastel" Epidemiology and Microbiology Research Institute under the Russian Federal Institute for Consumer Rights Protection and Public Welfare. He said that some Westerners, including French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montanier, said that "the artificial production of the new coronavirus system" is not true. By sequencing the genome of the virus, researchers can completely distinguish whether the virus originated from nature or was artificially produced.
In response to why these remarks appeared, Semenov believed that some people claimed that the new coronavirus originated from artificial manufacturing "to cover up the incompetence of its health system or to defend against faults in the epidemic." Such claims are actually intended to be overridden.
