LONDON: After facing a counter-attack for the coverage of the origin of Covid Pandemi, a famous scientific journal – Lancet has now published ‘alternative views’ of 16 scientists.
International team of health experts, in open letters, made attraction for “objective, open, and transparent scientific debate about the origin of SARS-COV-2”.
Scientists “need to evaluate all hypotheses rationally, and weigh their possibilities based on facts and evidence, without speculation about possible political impacts”, writers.
Lancet, has been in February last year, publishing an open letter that “very condemned conspiracy theory” surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, showing that Covid-19 did not have natural origin.
Earlier this year, it was revealed earlier that Peter Daszak – a British scientist and president of the US-based non-profit alliance who had a direct relationship with China – secretly arranged a famous letter.
The company has also funded research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
In a new open letter, scientists discussed the possibility that laboratory research may have played a role in the emergence of the SARS-COV-2 virus.
“We stand together to condemn the conspiracy theory that strongly condemns that Covid-19 does not have natural origin”, they said, in a statement that “gave the effect silence on a wider scientific debate”.
However, “there is no direct support for the natural origin of SARS-COV-2, and the accident related to the laboratory makes sense”, the author states.
“Maybe it looks small, but after 18 months of complete denial, Action [The] Lancet agreed to issue this letter acknowledging the origin of Covid-19 remains an open verdict, is a very big problem,” Professor Nikolai Petrovsky from the University of Flinders in Adelaide, Australia, one of the signatories, told the Daily Mail on Sunday.
“For leading medical journals such as Lancet to finally open the door to a letter from scientists who highlight the ongoing Covid-19 origins, showing how far we have come in 18 months in asking for a scientific debate open on the topic, but also shows how far We still have to go, “he added.
Furthermore, this new letter also slandered China to open and allow access to the right investigation.
While the world’s first-Chinese health organization concluded that the laboratory origin was “very impossible”, which Director General of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has stated that all the steady hypotheses in the table include laboratory leakage.
China has, in the meantime, opposes the full probe and is not limited to the origin of the outbreak by WHO, accusing the global health body “vanity” and “disrespect for common sense”.
“While we need more evidence, the world will remain mired in disputes without full Chinese involvement, including open access to primary data, documents, and stored materials that are relevant to allow comprehensive, transparent and objective search for all relevant evidence,” That’s the writer.
