【搜狐健康】2月19日，《柳叶刀》网站发布一份来自国际多名公共卫生领域专家联合声明，他们一致表示了对中国全方位的抗击新型冠状病毒的所做努力的大力支持。
美国科罗拉多州柯林斯堡科罗拉多州立大学Charles Calisher，德国柏林大学医学院Christian Drosten，西班牙马德里国家生物技术中心Luis Enjuanes等27名专家在联合声明中指出：作为公共卫生科学家，我们密切关注新型冠状病毒疾病(COVID-19)的出现，并深切关注其对全球健康和福祉的影响。我们看到，中国的科学家、公共卫生专业人员和医疗专业人员一直在勤奋和有效地工作，以迅速查明此次疫情背后的病原体，并采取重大措施减少其影响，与全球卫生界透明地分享他们的结果。这一努力非常显著。
我们签署这份声明是为了声援所有在COVID-19疫情挑战期间，继续拯救生命和保护全球健康的中国科学家和卫生专业人员。我们的中国同行站在最前沿，抗击这一新的病毒威胁，我们都站在一起。
关于此次疫情的快速、公开和透明的数据共享，现在正受到关于其来源的谣言和误传的威胁。我们一起强烈谴责认为COVID-19没有自然起源的“阴谋论”。现在，通过多国的科学家对COVID-19的病原体基因组分析，能够压倒性地得出结论：这种冠状病毒起源于野生动物，就像许多其他新出现的病原体一样。
美国国家科学、工程和医学研究院院长以及他们所代表的科学界的研究进一步证实了这一点。阴谋论只会制造恐惧、谣言和偏见，危及我们对抗这种病毒的全球合作。我们支持世卫组织总干事呼吁促进科学证据和团结，反对错误信息和猜测。我们希望中国的科学和卫生专业人员，知道我们都在支持你们对抗这种病毒。
我们邀请其他人和我们一起支持武汉和中国各地的科学家、公共卫生专业人员和医学专业人员。与我们在前线的同事站在一起！
We are public health scientists who have closely followed the emergence of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and are deeply concerned about its impact on global health and wellbeing. We have watched as the scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of China, in particular, have worked diligently and effectively to rapidly identify the pathogen behind this outbreak, put in place significant measures to reduce its impact, and share their results transparently with the global health community. This effort has been remarkable.
We sign this statement in solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China who continue to save lives and protect global health during the challenge of the COVID-19 outbreak. We are all in this together, with our Chinese counterparts in the forefront, against this new viral threat.
The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife, as have so many other emerging pathogens.
This is further supported by a letter from the presidents of the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine and by the scientific communities they represent. Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus. We support the call from the Director-General of WHO to promote scientific evidence and unity over misinformation and conjecture. We want you, the science and health professionals of China, to know that we stand with you in your fight against this virus.
We invite others to join us in supporting the scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of Wuhan and across China. Stand with our colleagues on the frontline!
