CNN记者在采访世卫专家组成员、英国动物学家彼得·达萨克时问道,病毒是否有可能是武汉实验室制造并泄露出来的?对此,达萨克给出了非常肯定的回答:毫无根据(There's no evidence of that at all)。
另外,俄罗斯卫星网4日也报道称:
The laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virologyis well-equipped, and it is very difficult to imagine a leak from there, said Vladimir Dedkov, an expert of the WHO group from Russia, deputy director for scientific work of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology.
“It is well-organized. I do not know who criticized them.The laboratory is perfectly equipped.It is hard for me to imagine that something could have leaked from there.”
"I know that lab really well," said Daszak."It is a good virology lab that was doing good work that got close to finding what the next SARS-related coronavirus would be. But it didn't find it as far as I know. But you know, unfortunately, it maybe got so close that people now ironically start to blame it."
