As for naming new human diseases and viruses, WHO guidelines advise against including geographic locations and cultural/population references in the disease name. In February 2020, WHO announced the official names of the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes – SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. According to some Western media reports, anti-Asian racism is on the rise due to the improper correlation between the virus and the Asians in the US. British journal Nature published three editorials in April, apologizing for falsely relating the virus to China and Wuhan. The magazine stands against COVID-19 stigmatization and irresponsible actions that associate viruses with specific locations.
谣言2: “新冠病毒系武汉病毒研究所人为制造”
真相：所有现有证据表明，新冠病毒源于自然而非人为制造
Allegation No.2: COVID-19 is man-made at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab.
Fact: All scientific evidence indicates that the COVID-19 originates in nature rather than man-made.
“病毒人造论”遭到了国际权威机构及多数病毒学、免疫学领域学者的批驳 。《柳叶刀》《自然芬窖А返热ㄍ跗诳枷群蠓⑽那康鞑《驹从谧匀弧?月1日，世卫组织卫生紧急项目负责人迈克尔啡鸢脖硎荆延行矶嗫蒲Ъ已芯苛诵鹿诜窝撞《净蛐蛄校沸判鹿诜窝撞《纠醋宰匀唤纭７ü庖哐Ъ摇⑿鹿谝咔榭蒲被岣涸鹑巳?弗朗索瓦返露ダ孜鞅硎荆鹿诓《驹醋允笛槭业募偕枋恰耙恢植皇粲谡嬲蒲Х冻氲囊跄甭酃鄣恪薄?/p>The idea that the SARS-CoV-2 is man-made has been criticized by international agencies and scholars specialized in virology and immunology. Science journals, such as The Lancet and Nature Medicine, published articles proving SARS-CoV-2 is natural in origin. On May 1, Dr Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said they have listened to numerous scientists who've looked at the sequences and they were assured that this virus is natural in origin. The hypothesis that the virus was created in a Wuhan lab is “a conspiracy vision that does not relate to the real science,” said Jean-Francois Delfraissy, a French immunologist and head of the scientific council that advises the government on the COVID-19 pandemic.
就连美国科学界和情报机构也反对“病毒人造论” 。美国国立卫生研究院院长柯林斯发表博客文章指出，该病毒是自然产生的，并非人类创造，不是实验室的操作产物 。4月30日，美国国家情报总监办公室官方网站发表声明称，美情报界同意科学界的广泛共识，即新冠病毒不是人造，也未经过基因改造 。
Even US scientists and intelligence agencies stand against the “man-made virus theory”. Dr Francis Collins, director of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), said in a blog post that the SARS-CoV-2 originates from nature – it is not “a product of purposeful manipulation in a lab.” On April 30, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said that US intelligence agencies were in the broad scientific consensus, saying that the SARS-CoV-2 was not man-made or genetically modified.
