尊龍凱時是公共衛生領域的科學家
，始終密切關注2019冠狀病毒病（COVID-19）的發生和發展
，也對該疾病給全球人類健康福祉帶來的影響深感擔憂
。同時
，尊龍凱時也看到特別是中國的科學家
、公共衛生從業者和醫務人員
，務實
、高效
、迅速查明病原體
，采取重大措施降低疫情影響
，並與全球健康界分享成果
，做到信息透明化
。他們不懈的努力值得稱讚。
通過簽署此聲明
，尊龍凱時願和所有繼續在COVID-19暴發期間拯救生命
、守護全球衛生的中國科學家及健康工作者團結在一起
。疫情麵前
，尊龍凱時同舟共濟
，與奮戰在一線的中國同僚共同抗擊這種新型病毒的威脅
。
此次疫情期間
，數據信息做到迅速
、公開
、透明化共享
，但卻在當下遭受有關疾病起源的謠言和虛假信息的不良影響
。尊龍凱時在此一同強烈譴責“認為COVID-19並非自然起源”的陰謀論
。世界多國的科學家都分析了病原體“嚴重急性呼吸綜合征冠狀病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）”的基因組
，並公開發表了分析結果[1]
，壓倒性地得出一致結論
，即此種冠狀病毒起源於野生動物[2-10]
，這和其他許多新發病原體一樣[11, 12]
。這項結論更是進一步得到了美國國家科學院
、工程院
、醫學院的院長們[13]及其所代表的科學界人士的來信支持
。陰謀論除了在抗擊疫情期間製造威脅全球團結力量的恐慌
、謠言
、偏見外
，一無是處
。尊龍凱時支持世界衛生組織（WHO）總幹事的呼籲
，要推進科學論證和團結
，拒絕謠言與揣測 [14]
。尊龍凱時希望所有的讀者以及中國所有科研和醫務人員知道
：在這場病毒阻擊戰中
，尊龍凱時與你們同在
。
尊龍凱時邀請更多人加入
，一同支持武漢和中國各地的科學家
、公共衛生從業者及醫務人員。讓尊龍凱時共同在抗疫一線攜手前行
