我们是公共卫生领域的科学家，始终密切关注2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的发生和发展，也对该疾病给全球人类健康福祉带来的影响深感担忧。同时，我们也看到特别是中国的科学家、公共卫生从业者和医务人员，务实、高效、迅速查明病原体，采取重大措施降低疫情影响，并与全球健康界分享成果，做到信息透明化。他们不懈的努力值得称赞。

通过签署此声明，我们愿和所有继续在COVID-19暴发期间拯救生命、守护全球卫生的中国科学家及健康工作者团结在一起。疫情面前，我们同舟共济，与奋战在一线的中国同僚共同抗击这种新型病毒的威胁。

此次疫情期间，数据信息做到迅速、公开、透明化共享，但却在当下遭受有关疾病起源的谣言和虚假信息的不良影响。我们在此一同强烈谴责“认为COVID-19并非自然起源”的阴谋论。世界多国的科学家都分析了病原体“严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）”的基因组，并公开发表了分析结果[1]，压倒性地得出一致结论，即此种冠状病毒起源于野生动物[2-10]，这和其他许多新发病原体一样[11, 12]。这项结论更是进一步得到了美国国家科学院、工程院、医学院的院长们[13]及其所代表的科学界人士的来信支持。阴谋论除了在抗击疫情期间制造威胁全球团结力量的恐慌、谣言、偏见外，一无是处。我们支持世界卫生组织（WHO）总干事的呼吁，要推进科学论证和团结，拒绝谣言与揣测 [14]。我们希望所有的读者以及中国所有科研和医务人员知道：在这场病毒阻击战中，我们与你们同在。

我们邀请更多人加入，一同支持武汉和中国各地的科学家、公共卫生从业者及医务人员。让我们共同在抗疫一线携手前行！END
