This being said, some are still turning a blind eye to science-based conclusions while shifting the blame to China with the "lab leak" theory.

In hyping up the lab leak theory, the dirty trick played by the US is exposed in its entirety – intelligence agencies first fed the media with some false information, the media followed up with misleading reports, then some so-called "experts" came out and fueled the conspiracy, and politicians stood out at the end and misled the public with the government point of view – they are good at playing this dirty game of covering facts with lies and nullifying science with political agendas.

Then you will understand why the evidence-oriented, science-based origin-tracing efforts of some western scientists, including scientists from the US, are undermined by political pressures, slanders and even threats. The US representative on the WHO team tasked with origin tracing and president of the EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Dazak, was fiercely attacked by both the White House and the Congress, after openly claiming that China is the victim of conspiracy theories. Anderson, an Australian scientist who used to work in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, faces frequent smears and threats after refuting the lab-leak theory with his own experience at the institute.

When the intelligence community of the US is commissioned with the "arduous task" of tracing the origin of COVID-19, it naturally reminds people of how Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State, takes pride in the CIA, which in his own words is an organization that "cheats, lies and steals". It also refreshes people's memory that Colin Powell, another former US Secretary of State, wielded the infamous test tube full of washing powder as evidence of weapons of mass destruction developed in Iraq – Those moments are now looming large again in front of us. No wonder people leave comments below news reports that the CIA knows nothing about science and pays no respect for science. A simple question I will ask here is, who would think that this US-style origin tracing isn't a game of political manipulation?

"There is no evidence of laboratory leak. The only ‘evidence' so far is that there happens to be a virology institute in Wuhan".

"All the evidences so far are pointing to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 jumped from animals to humans".

"Tracing the origin of the virus is like a big puzzle game. It's now time to patch up the missing pieces".

……

Scientists continue to stand out and tell the truth about origin tracing, and no political pressure will ever stop them from talking.
