Virus tracing: Don't let the political cloud cover the road of scientific civilization
◎ Zhang Mengran
More than 400 years ago, the "1616 ban" sealed the mouth of the Italian scientist Galileo, and the start of the human scientific revolution was delayed for decades.
Over the past four centuries, scientific progress has far surpassed the imagination of the sages. The light of science seems to have illuminated the future, but the wandering ghost has not yet dissipated, and the black hand that contained the spirit of science still exists.
As the new crown epidemic is still raging today, at a time when mankind is desperately in need of science as a sharp blade to eradicate the virus, there are still some countries and a handful of people who once again violate the spirit of science and become obstacles to scientific progress and the development of human civilization.
How does the United States advertise itself?
A democratic and free country.
But on the issue of tracing the source of the new crown virus, what it shows is the hegemonic face of politics above all else.
Scientists have been suppressed time and time again, harassed, threatened, intimidated, repeatedly questioned, and lost their jobs.
When people are trying to find the truth, the call is ignored-Fort Detrick closed suddenly?
The hard-to-find e-cigarette white lung disease?
In the eyes of some politicians, the problem seems to have never existed.
The mainstream media distorted reports, the new type of media had no brains to follow suit, and some people’s “anti-intellectual” thinking and remarks were rampant. Politics controlled the media and eroded people’s efforts to seek the truth bit by bit.
"Democracy" and "freedom" have become shields and even pawns in the political game.
Virus traceability is a scientific problem that needs to be solved by science.
The political purpose behind suppressing the voice of scientists on scientific issues is clear.
Contain competitors, perpetuate the dream of hegemony, divert attention, get rid of blameless, many thoughts, cover up!
It is obviously contrary to the scientific argument that it reverses black and white and confuses the public, but the "lighthouse" country does it brazenly and without scruples.
When politics stands in front of science, where does human civilization go?
Should we once again let the political cloud cover the road of scientific civilization?
The role of modern scientific development in promoting the progress of civilization is obvious. It is that science ignited the candlelight that dispelled the darkness of the Middle Ages, broke the shackles that imprison human thought, and laid the foundation stone for mankind to enter a new era.
When human beings are invaded by viruses and need science to escort them the most, they betrayed the spirit of science, politicized the source of the virus, and pave the way for the virus to raging. The actions of the United States not only endanger the health of all mankind, but also poison the thinking of all mankind.
Galileo was famous 400 years ago, and the "ban of 1616" became a stain in the history of Catholicism. A few years later, with the arrival of the truth, the abscesses are squeezed out. Now those who try to manipulate science with politics will leave scars that cannot be erased on the political body of the world.
