China News Service, Beijing, August 3 (Jiang Li) A think tank recently announced the results of a survey conducted on several major social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, VK, and Weibo) around the world, showing that nearly 80 % Of netizens participating in the survey believe that the traceability of the new crown virus has been politicized.

On the question of "from a global perspective, what is the top priority to combat the new crown pneumonia virus?" Most netizens also voted for vaccination and treatment.

  Politics should not be a factor that influences and influences scientific investigations. Only science is the only way to find out the truth.

Tracing the source of the virus is to help humans better understand the epidemic and fight disease.

However, some politicians in the United States ignore science and the truth, trying to use traceability reasons to speculate on other countries in an attempt to create international contradictions.

The intention to "politicize" the traceability of the new crown virus has even been spotted by netizens in many countries, but some politicians have repeatedly turned the right and wrong under the banner of investigation.

  Survey data shows that people in different countries and regions have the same vision of fighting the virus. The public believes that vaccination can help humans through this difficult period, and it is also the primary task of the global fight against the epidemic.

  As of August 2, data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States showed that the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 35 million.

On July 29, the National Broadcasting Corporation reported that, affected by the delta mutant strain, the number of infections in several states with lower vaccination rates in the United States has increased rapidly.

The epidemic in the United States is rebounding. If these politicians only care about the politicization of the source of the virus and continue to ignore the lives of the people, then they will not be able to save the American people, and they will be even more unpopular.

Politicizing COVID-19 origin tracing won't help US address pandemic

By John Lee

(ECNS) - CGTN think tank has released a global online opinion poll titled "Is virus tracing for COVID-19 politicized?", which was released on five global social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, VK, Weibo). Eighty percent of respondents said the issue of COVID-19 origin tracing has been politicized. Meanwhile, most participants voted for "vaccine and medication" in answering the question "what is the most pressing task to combat COVID-19 on a global scale."

Scientific research should not be dominated by politics, with scientific methodology alone tasked to clarify the truth. Tracing the COVID-19 origin would help people better understand the pandemic and fight the disease. However, some US politicians ignore science, exaggerate the threat from other countries and incite international bias using COVID-19 origin tracing. Their intent to politicize COVID-19 origin tracing has been exposed in front of netizens worldwide.

The survey poll indicates that worldwide people hold a strong vision of battling the virus. They believe getting vaccines will help people overcome this tough period, which is also the most pressing task to combat COVID-19 on a global scale.

As of August 2, there have been more than 35,003,523 confirmed cases in the US, according to data released by Johns Hopkins coronavirus resource center. The US National Broadcasting Company reported on July 29 that several US states with a lower level of vaccination show a surge in COVID-19 cases. Infection cases are rebounding in the country. US politicians will neither save people's lives nor win their trust if they continue to twist and slander the result of origin tracing.
