(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) US Anti-epidemic Experts: There is no scientific evidence to prove that the new coronavirus comes from the Chinese laboratory
China News Agency, Beijing, May 7th, comprehensive news: Anthony Fudge, a well-known American epidemiologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an exclusive interview with the National Geographic magazine that scientific evidence shows that global The virus behind the pandemic did not originate from Chinese laboratories.
Fuch did this when answering the question "Is there evidence that the virus was made or leaked by a Chinese laboratory?" He said that scientific evidence strongly indicates that this (new corona) virus cannot be artificially manufactured or manipulated. The virus has evolved gradually over time, indicating that it has evolved in nature and has been infected across species. The questioner asked, "What if the virus was found in the wild but leaked from the laboratory?" Foch responded, "Isn't that still the virus from the wild? That's why I don't understand what they are talking about, and Why did n’t I take the time to study this circular hypothesis. ”
Foch also expressed concern about the continued spread of the epidemic after the "unblocking" in the interview. The "New York Times" of the United States recently reported in its report that by May 11th, 31 states in the United States would relax the "home order" restriction. Fuchs warned when he was a guest on a NBC television show: "Everyone can't cross the (necessary) procedure, so there will be a risk of a second wave of outbreaks." In an interview with National Geographic, Foch reiterated In addition, he was worried about the state's eagerness to end isolation before the infection rate fell, and reminded everyone to refer to the "Resume Guide" before returning to work.
Fudge is most worried that if the United States cannot reduce the infection rate before summer, it will be tested by the second wave of coronavirus this fall and winter.
"I don't think this virus will disappear. If there is a chance, it will make a comeback." Fuch said. "Now we will have several months to prepare in May, June, July, and August. Ensure that our sanitation system has adequate ventilation equipment, ICU beds, personal protective equipment, etc. "Foch emphasized that we not only need sufficient test conditions, but also establish a system that can give priority to those who need it most. "If the second wave of outbreaks occurred in autumn and winter, we did not have enough test conditions, and we should be sorry."
For the development of new coronary pneumonia vaccines, Foch is more optimistic. He believes that the vaccine will be ready in a relatively short time. Foch had previously stated that he believed that the final vaccine could be put into use as early as January next year, which would break the fastest record for vaccine development in the past.
National Geographic pointed out that one of the reasons why Foch is confident in vaccine development is that the Moderna Therapeutics candidate vaccine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has seen "impressive" results in animals tested, and in just 42 Human trials were conducted within a few days, setting a record.
According to reports, this drug candidate is an mRNA vaccine that uses fragments of viral genetic material instead of dead or weakened viruses to make proteins, thereby triggering the body's protective immune response. Based on his research experience in the 1980s and 1990s, Foch believes that this technology will have great prospects in the treatment of new coronaviruses. (Finish)
