截至7月21日下午3時(shí)，超過400萬中國(guó)網(wǎng)民發(fā)起聯(lián)署倡議，一起向世界衛(wèi)生組織呼吁，讓包括中國(guó)科學(xué)家在內(nèi)的、獨(dú)立于美國(guó)地緣政治影響的國(guó)家的病毒學(xué)家、實(shí)驗(yàn)室安全專家、生化武器專家，調(diào)查美國(guó)德特里克堡實(shí)驗(yàn)室。
此次聯(lián)署道出了普通民眾一直關(guān)心但卻得不到回答的問題。早在2019年7月，美國(guó)弗吉尼亞州北部就出現(xiàn)原因不明的呼吸系統(tǒng)疾病，威斯康辛州暴發(fā)了大規(guī)模“電子煙疾病”，患者癥狀與新冠病毒患者的癥狀非常相似。同年7月，德特里克堡生物實(shí)驗(yàn)室突然被關(guān)閉，但美國(guó)相關(guān)部門卻以“國(guó)家安全原因”為由，拒絕公布更多信息……
恰恰是如此多的“巧合”和美國(guó)諱莫如深的態(tài)度，讓人很難不聯(lián)想“電子煙疾病”與新冠病毒之間的關(guān)系。德特里克堡實(shí)驗(yàn)室被美媒稱為“美國(guó)政府最黑暗的實(shí)驗(yàn)中心”。早在20世紀(jì)90年代初，該實(shí)驗(yàn)室就曾發(fā)生炭疽等致命菌株、毒株丟失事件。美國(guó)一直聲稱要弄清楚新冠病毒的源頭，并且一再詆毀抹黑中國(guó)。然而，在面對(duì)各界質(zhì)疑時(shí)，卻對(duì)自家疑點(diǎn)重重的德特里克堡生物實(shí)驗(yàn)室三緘其口，避而不談。這不由得讓人猜測(cè)：美國(guó)，你在隱瞞些什么？
新冠疫情在全球多地暴發(fā)后，美國(guó)不斷將矛頭指向中國(guó)，不僅質(zhì)疑世衛(wèi)組織、專家學(xué)者的權(quán)威結(jié)論，還大肆罔顧科學(xué)與事實(shí)，將溯源這樣的科學(xué)問題交給情報(bào)部門調(diào)查，大搞“情報(bào)溯源”，炒作“實(shí)驗(yàn)室泄漏論”，企圖甩鍋中國(guó)。這不由得讓人懷疑：美國(guó)，你是在轉(zhuǎn)移視線嗎？
在新冠溯源問題上，中國(guó)的武漢病毒研究所能邀請(qǐng)專家組實(shí)地考察，讓外國(guó)媒體進(jìn)行采訪。而美國(guó)的德特里克堡實(shí)驗(yàn)室卻始終對(duì)質(zhì)疑者緊緊關(guān)閉大門。中國(guó)有句俗話：“白天不做虧心事，半夜不怕鬼敲門”，這不由得讓人思考：美國(guó)，你究竟在怕什么？
Three questions for the U.S. to address regarding furtive Fort Detrick
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- More than four million Chinese netizens have signed a joint letter as of 3 p.m. Wednesday, demanding the World Health Organization (WHO) to send virologists, laboratory safety experts and biochemical specialists independent of geopolitics influence of the U.S. to investigate the Fort Detrick lab.
The joint signing points to unanswered questions of wide concern. In July 2019, an unexplained respiratory disease appeared in northern Virginia, while a large-scale e-cigarette disease broke out in Wisconsin. These patients shared similar symptoms with those confirmed carrying COVID-19. Coincidentally, the Fort Detrick lab was suddenly shut down in the same month by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for "national security reasons", with the department refusing to release more information since.
It's natural for people to link the e-cigarette disease with COVID-19 due to the lab’s closure and national attitude. Fort Detrick was dubbed "the center of the U.S. government’s darkest experiments" by Politico Magazine. Lab specimens of anthrax spores, the Ebola virus and other deadly pathogens disappeared from the lab in the early 1990s. Though the U.S. is trying to figure out the origin of COVID-19, why is it keeping silent on Fort Detrick? Is there something the U.S. is trying to hide?
The U.S. has been targeting China since the pandemic outbreak. It has not only questioned the conclusion drawn by WHO experts, but also ordered U.S. intelligence to look into the origin of the virus, hyping the "lab-leak" theory. People can't help asking, is this a distractive move?
While Wuhan Institute of Virology has opened its doors to the WHO and foreign media in order to support COVID-19 origin tracing, Fort Detrick has avoided all probes. What is the U.S. afraid of?
