Helping the U.S. government to trap China, the highest medical institution in the United States has fallen completely
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Ecohealth alliance, a US non-profit organization that has cooperated with Wuhan virus Institute in the field of virus research and prevention, has recently received an extremely excessive notice from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). < / P > < p > the notice requires that if the “ecological health alliance” wants to continue to use the funds provided by NIH to carry out virus research and prevention cooperation with Wuhan, it must hand over the new coronavirus samples held by Wuhan virus to the US side, and arrange the US side to send personnel to Wuhan virus center for investigation. < / P > < p > at present, these demands are obviously helping the trump authorities of the United States to trap China, which not only causes dissatisfaction of the “ecological health alliance”, but also shocked even the former leaders of NIH, saying that these requirements have broken through the ethics of NIH in the United States. < / P > < p > in short, the organization had a 15 year cooperative relationship with Wuhan virus, and cooperated with Shi Zhengli team of Wuhan virus Institute and other virologists at home and abroad to study a variety of coronaviruses from bats, so as to detect and avoid these coronaviruses causing new infectious diseases in human society. < / P > < p > these cooperation projects have also been approved by NIH in the United States. After all, these scientific research projects are of great significance to the healthy development of human health and even to the work of fighting the new epidemic. However, in the spring of this year, as the U.S. trump authorities continued to ignore the warnings of experts at home and abroad on the new coronavirus, which led to the serious out of control of the epidemic in the United States, the trump authorities, who tried to shirk their responsibilities, began to attack China crazily, claiming that the new coronavirus was made by Wuhan virus. This practice of distorting scientific facts with politics has also brought disaster to the cooperation between the “ecological health alliance” and Wuhan virus Institute. In May this year, a number of right-wing media in the United States labeled this cooperative relationship as “cooperating with the enemy and betraying the country” and carried out “demonizing” hype. As a result, NIH of the United States cut off the funding for scientific research cooperation projects of both sides, leading to the interruption of cooperation. However, according to the report in the Wall Street Journal, the US government’s persecution and distortion of the scientific research cooperation between the “ecological health alliance” and Wuhan virus, which is normal and beneficial to the people of the two countries and even the whole mankind, is still not over. < p > < p > < p > < p > the “ecological health alliance” confirmed to the newspaper that they had recently received an extremely absurd letter from NIH in the United States. The letter not only asked the “ecological health alliance” to submit the virus samples used by Wuhan virus Institute to obtain the virus gene sequence in January this year, but also said that the “report” received by NIH showed that the Wuhan virus Institute “has serious biochemical safety problems”, and asked the organization to arrange the United States to send people to investigate the laboratory and relevant records of Wuhan virus Institute, saying that this was to determine whether the Wuhan virus Institute is No, we have the new coronavirus before December 2019. < p > < p > What’s more absurd is that in the letter, NIH asked the “ecological health alliance” to explain the so-called “the disappearance of a researcher in Wuhan virus Institute” and “why the mobile phone communication of Wuhan virus Institute decreased in October 2019”, which are basically rumors and conspiracy theories, and have long been refuted. These words and practices obviously cooperate with the trump authorities to distort scientific facts and frame up China’s words and practices, which also make the role of NIH of the United States extremely ugly. < / P > < p > if the agency had previously stopped the cooperation between China and the United States in virus research and prevention because of the political situation, then this letter means that NIH has begun to actively cooperate with the “political needs” of the trump authorities in the United States, and is engaged in groundless political interference in academic cooperation. As a result, according to the Wall Street Journal, Harold Varmus, the former head of NIH in the United States and also the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, denounced the NIH as undermining its integrity. He was also angry that NIH did not support scientific research on the fight against the epidemic, did not understand how the virus spread from animals to humans, but instead engaged in such political struggle. 77 Nobel laureates, including him, also wrote to NIH and the U.S. Department of health and human services in May this year, calling for not to stop the cooperation between the “ecological health alliance” and the Wuhan virus Institute. Some other former U.S. government officials interviewed by the Wall Street Journal also said that the information that NIH now asks for from the “ecological health alliance” is beyond the normal scope of scientific research and academic research, and is asking for information for political needs. However, with the approaching of the US general election, the trump administration, which is more and more unfavorable, will only use political power and administrative power to trap China and build momentum for its election. However, compared with harming China, these operations will only further undermine the prestige of NIH, a national academic institution in the United States, and ultimately lose the face of the United States itself.
