still origin novel coronavirus And the source of its leakage is the stallion, despite the passage of years since the accident.
After the famous American economist, head of the coronavirus committee in the prestigious scientific journal “The Lancet”, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, blamed the United States of America for Corona virus leakthe magazine faced a backlash.
Criticisms and calls for dismissal
Experts said Professor Sacks’ actions overshadowed much of the research and strong recommendations in the 58-page report, and criticized Don’t Forget for resisting calls for his dismissal.
In turn, Professor Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Organization of Canada, saw that Sachs’s words undermine the seriousness of the mission of the “Don’t Forget” committee to the point that it may invalidate it completely, “as she put it.
She also added that this may be one of the most shameful moments in the history of the prestigious medical journal, regarding its leadership role in communicating critical findings regarding science and medicine, and stressed that she was deeply shocked by how much the report ignored key evidence regarding the epidemic.
Professor David Robertson, Director of the Center for Virus Research at the University of Glasgow, considered the magazine’s report disappointing, and might contribute to spreading more misinformation on such an important topic, in reference to the Corona epidemic.
He added that although there are understandable scientific details regarding the intermediate species that can play a role in transmitting the disease, this does not mean that we leave room for wild speculation that US laboratories are involved, according to him.
The famous professor sticks to his opinion
This controversy came following the famous American economist, Chairman of the Corona Virus Committee in the prestigious scientific journal “The Lancet”, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, blamed the United States of America for the leak of the Corona virus.
When contacted by The Telegraph to comment on the matter, the professor stuck to his earlier statements, adding that he personally “oversaw this part of the work”.
It was not clear if Professor Sachs believed that the Covid-19 virus originated in the United States, or if it was the result of cooperation between American and Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute in China, but he said that the commissioners “consulted widely and met with a number of scientists.”
It is noteworthy that a report whose results were shared by Sachs, had confirmed that if the United States, since the beginning of the epidemic in early 2020, has pointed the finger at China, once morest the background that the first cases observed were in Wuhan, then the full story of the outbreak may include America’s role in research on coronaviruses and in sharing their biotechnology with others around the world, including China, with the evidence of a tripartite collaboration that included researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
