石正丽回复《科学》杂志提问:特朗普欠我们一个道歉
7月24日,国际权威杂志《科学》刊登了一篇武汉病毒研究所研究员石正丽通过邮件接受该杂志提问采访的稿件。
文章称,石正丽在7月15日通过邮件回复了《科学》提出的多个问题,包括病毒起源和武汉研究所的研究工作。
在回复中,石正丽回击了关于病毒起源的猜测。她称自己和同事在2019年末从患有不明来源肺炎的患者的样本中发现了病毒。“在此之前,我们从未接触研究过该病毒,也不知道存在着这样一种病毒。”
She and her colleagues discovered the virus in late 2019, she says, in samples from patients who had a pneumonia of unknown origin. “Before that, we had never been in contact with or studied this virus, nor did we know of its existence,” Shi wrote.
石正丽表示,“来自全球的科学家已经压倒性地得出结论,新冠病毒源自自然界而不是任何机构。美国总统特朗普声称新冠病毒是从武汉病毒研究所泄露,这与事实完全相悖。这给我们的学术工作和个人生活带来了伤害和影响。他欠我们一个道歉。”
Scientists from around the world have overwhelmingly concluded that SARS-CoV-2 originated naturally rather than from any institution. “U.S. President Trump’s claim that SARS-CoV-2 was leaked from our institute totally contradicts the facts,” she added. “It jeopardizes and affects our academic work and personal life. He owes us an apology.”
石正丽还在邮件中再次阐明,武汉实验室没有人感染新冠病毒。
近期,我们对武汉实验室的所有员工和学生进行了血清检测,没有人感染新冠病毒,迄今为止武汉病毒所的所有员工和学生都是“零感染”。
Recently we tested the sera from all staff and students in the lab and nobody is infected by either bat SARSr-CoV or SARS-CoV-2. To date, there is “zero infection” of all staff and students in our institute.
新冠病毒很有可能起源自蝙蝠
另外,石正丽也表示新冠病毒很有可能源自蝙蝠。“基于我们团队和国际同行之间的研究,新冠病毒很有可能起源自蝙蝠。它可能在一个或更多中间宿主中进化,变成适应人类,并最终在人类之间传播。然而,我们现在仍不清楚哪些动物是中间宿主,也不知道这种病毒怎样传播到人类的。”
According to the findings of our team and our international peers, SARS-CoV-2 is very likely to have originated from bats. It may have evolved in one or more intermediate hosts, become adapted to humans, and eventually spread among humans. However, it remains unclear which animals were the intermediate hosts and how it spilled over to humans.
“我们在湖北监测蝙蝠病毒多年,但是并没有在武汉甚至更广范围的湖北省发现有蝙蝠携带任何与新冠病毒密切相关的病毒,我不认为病毒从蝙蝠传染给人类的情况发生在武汉或湖北。”
We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. I don‘t think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in Wuhan or in Hubei Province.
值得一提的是《科学》杂志把石正丽的回复分享给了几位来自其他国家的权威研究员,多位研究员都给出了肯定的评价。
来自美国乔治城大学的传染病学专家丹尼尔·卢西(Daniel Lucey)表示,石正丽回复的内容贡献很大,有很多事实是自己此前未曾注意到的,非常兴奋能直接从石正丽那得知这些。
斯克利普斯研究所进化生物学家克里斯蒂安·安德森(Kristian Andersen)虽然有所疑问,但还是承认,石正丽的回答都是符合逻辑、真实,而且对科学原则的坚持符合人们对一位世界级的科学家和顶级新冠病毒研究专家的期待。
“But they’re all logical, genuine, and stick to the science as one would have expected from a world-class scientist and one of the leading experts on coronaviruses,” Andersen says.
