中新網評：“病毒溯源問題政治化”救不了美國！
中新網北京8月3日電(蔣鯉)有智庫近日公佈了在全球幾大社交媒體平臺(推特、臉書、YouTube、VK和微博)進行的一項調查的結果，顯示近80%參與調查的網民認為，新冠病毒溯源問題已被政治化。在“從全球角度來講，抗擊新冠肺炎病毒的當務之急是什麼”這一問題上，多數網民也投票給接種疫苗和進行治療。
政治不該成為影響和左右科學調查的因素，只有科學才是查明真相的唯一手段。追溯病毒源頭，是為了幫助人類更好地了解疫情、對抗疾病。但美國一些政客漠視科學和真相，妄圖借溯源之由炒作抹黑他國，企圖製造國際矛盾。“政治化”新冠病毒溯源問題的意圖連多國網友都已經察覺，而部分政客卻一再打著調查的旗號，顛倒是非。
調查數據顯示，不同國家和地區的人們抗擊病毒的願景是一致的，公眾認為接種疫苗能幫助人類度過這一艱難時期，也是全球抗擊疫情的首要任務。
截至8月2日，美國約翰斯霍普金斯大學的數據顯示，美國新冠肺炎確診數已超過3500萬例。7月29日，全美廣播公司的報道指出，受德爾塔變異毒株的影響，美國疫苗接種率較低的幾個州感染疫情人數增加較快。美國疫情正在反彈，如果這些政客只關心病毒溯源政治化，繼續無視民眾生命，那麼，他們既救不了美國人民，也將更加不得人心。
Politicizing COVID-19 origin tracing won't help U.S. address pandemic
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- CGTN think tank has released a global online opinion poll titled "Is virus tracing for COVID-19 politicized?", which was released on five global social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, VK, Weibo). Eighty percent of respondents said the issue of COVID-19 origin tracing has been politicized. Meanwhile, most participants voted for "vaccine and medication" in answering the question "what is the most pressing task to combat COVID-19 on a global scale.”
Scientific research should not be dominated by politics, with scientific methodology alone tasked to clarify the truth. Tracing the COVID-19 origin would help people better understand the pandemic and fight the disease. However, some U.S. politicians ignore science, exaggerate the threat from other countries and incite international bias using COVID-19 origin tracing. Their intent to politicize COVID-19 origin tracing has been exposed in front of netizens worldwide.
The survey poll indicates that worldwide people hold a strong vision of battling the virus. They believe getting vaccines will help people overcome this tough period, which is also the most pressing task to combat COVID-19 on a global scale.
As of August 2, there have been more than 35,003,523 confirmed cases in the U.S., according to data released by Johns Hopkins coronavirus resource center. The U.S. National Broadcasting Company reported on July 29 that several U.S. states with a lower level of vaccination show a surge in COVID-19 cases. Infection cases are rebounding in the country. U.S. politicians will neither save people's lives nor win their trust if they continue to twist and slander the result of origin tracing.
