Spotlight: COVID-19 virus not created in lab, say French experts

 

PARIS, April 20 (Xinhua) – French experts have refuted the claim by their colleague and Nobel Prize-winning scientist Luc Montagnier that the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic has been engineered and contains some genes of HIV-1.

Montagnier last week told the French CNews channel: "There was manipulation around this virus … the coronavirus of the bat, someone added sequences, in particular of HIV, the virus of AIDS … It is not natural. It's the work of professionals, of molecular biologists … A very meticulous work."

The French virologist won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2008 for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV).

The hypothesis that a virus was created in a laboratory in Wuhan sounded "a conspiracy vision that does not relate to the real science," said Jean-Francois Delfraissy, an immunologist and head of the scientific council that advises the French government on the COVID-19 pandemic, when interviewed by French television BFM TV.

"Everyone in the scientific community agrees that COVID-19 is a coronavirus. From time to time there are coronaviruses different from the others, as are SARS and MERS with a pathogenicity which has appeared," he added.

Both Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) are caused by coronaviruses, and the COVID-19 virus is also known as SARS-CoV-2.
