中新网北京8月3日电(蒋鲤)有智库近日公布了在全球几大社交媒体平台(推特、脸书、YouTube、VK和微博)进行的一项调查的结果，显示近80%参与调查的网民认为，新冠病毒溯源问题已被政治化。在“从全球角度来讲，抗击新冠肺炎病毒的当务之急是什么”这一问题上，多数网民也投票给接种疫苗和进行治疗。

　　政治不该成为影响和左右科学调查的因素，只有科学才是查明真相的*手段。追溯病毒源头，是为了帮助人类更好地了解疫情、对抗疾病。但美国一些政客漠视科学和真相，妄图借溯源之由炒作抹黑他国，企图制造国际矛盾。“政治化”新冠病毒溯源问题的意图连多国网友都已经察觉，而部分政客却一再打着调查的旗号，颠倒是非。

　　调查数据显示，不同国家和地区的人们抗击病毒的愿景是一致的，公众认为接种疫苗能帮助人类度过这一艰难时期，也是全球抗击疫情的首要任务。

　　截至8月2日，美国约翰斯霍普金斯大学的数据显示，美国新冠肺炎确诊数已超过3500万例。7月29日，全美广播公司的报道指出，受德尔塔变异毒株的影响，美国疫苗接种率较低的几个州感染疫情人数增加较快。美国疫情正在反弹，如果这些政客只关心病毒溯源政治化，继续无视民众生命，那么，他们既救不了美国人民，也将更加不得人心。

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.
