China News Service, July 8th. On the 7th local time, CNN reported that at least 20 top international scientists have jointly signed a research paper submitted on a preprinted website, stating that “it is almost certain The new coronavirus comes from animals, not from laboratory leaks."
CNN quoted related papers as saying that these top scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other countries believe that "there is a lot of scientific evidence to support the animal origin of the new coronavirus." On the contrary, "theories about laboratory leaks are almost based on coincidence. Not conclusive evidence."

These scientists are authorities in the field of coronavirus and virus genetics.
They mentioned in the paper, “There is currently no evidence that the new coronavirus originated in the laboratory, and there is no evidence that any early cases have any connection with (China) Wuhan virus research.”
"Wuhan is the largest city in central China. It has multiple animal markets. It is a major hub for tourism and commerce. It has good connections with other regions in China and internationally." Scientists believe that Wuhan is the first to be found in Wuhan. The new virus is not surprising.
Robert Gary, professor of microbiology and immunology at Tulane School of Medicine and one of the authors of the paper, also said in an interview with CNN, "I think you can draw a very strong argument that it (the new coronavirus) is not based on experiments. The room is leaking."
CNN also mentioned that this is not the first time scientists who are "tired of guessing" have spoken together.
On July 5, the world's authoritative medical journal "The Lancet" published a joint statement by 24 internationally renowned medical experts, who called for rationality and science in the investigation of the origin of the new coronavirus.
The statement stated that accusations and speculations are of no avail, and mutual accusations have not and will not encourage international cooperation and collaboration. "It is time to stop the fierce rhetoric and light up scientific inquiry."
Only in this way can we better prevent the occurrence of future epidemics.
On February 9, the China-WHO Joint Expert Group on New Coronary Traceability Research held a press conference in Wuhan to report on the joint work of the Chinese part of the global traceability of the new coronavirus.

In fact, as early as March, the WHO Joint Expert Group report clearly pointed out that the hypothesis that the new coronavirus leaked from the laboratory was extremely unlikely.
However, for some time in the past, some US politicians have frequently spread the "laboratory leak theory", and US President Biden also ordered the intelligence agencies to conduct so-called "independent investigations."
In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin reiterated on July 7 that these people have only one purpose, which is to transfer the responsibility for their failure in the fight against the epidemic to China.
He said that no matter how these people change their methods of political manipulation, the facts will not change: it is the American politicians who ignore science and politicize the fight against the epidemic that have caused more than 600,000 Americans to lose their lives.
