哈佛也玩起“开局一张图”了?对武汉的脑补也太有“想象力”了!( 五 )



“It’s really important that we don’t speculate too much regarding what the implications of cars in the car parking lot and then make a jump, 2 or 3 steps forward into what it represents. Because it there’s no evidence per se that’s what was suppposed to that auctually happen. But we’ll be very happy to follow up with the team that have done this work and look at how they did their study what the implications are.”

华春莹:漏洞百出、粗制滥造
外交部发言人华春莹于11日在外交部例行采访人员会上做出回应 。 她表示觉得特别诧异(surprised):“本能的反应是怎么能通过停车场汽车数量来推断新冠肺炎疫情发生的时间呢?我觉得这种联想非常不可思议(ridiculous) 。 ”

华春莹表示 , 论文除了拿停车场的汽车数量来推断新冠肺炎可能最初发生的时间之外 , 还有几个明显和低级的漏洞:

哈佛大学的学术平台 , 只是一个开放型的、搜集和保存教研人员一些研究资料的资料库 , 不是有同行评议的刊物 , 这个论文到底代表了哈佛大学医学院的正式观点和它的水准 , 还是只是个人的或者几个人的运作?

First, DASH is Harvard's open-access repository to collect, save and publish research by members of the Harvard community, not an academic journal that requires rigorous peer review. Does the said study truly reflect Harvard's viewpoint and standard? I'm afraid there's a big question mark over it.
论文的作者之一 , 恰巧是独家报道这篇论文的美国广播公司的撰稿人 , 而且恰巧在这篇论文甚至还没有预发布之前就已经拿到了更多的数据并且进行了报道 。

Second, one of the authors of the study "happens" to be a contributor of ABC News that exclusively reported the study, and ABC News just "happened" to have covered it with a lot more data even before the study was pre-released.
论文当中的一些图表上标注的时间居然是2019年5月份 , 不知道这是无心的疏忽 , 还是有什么别的问题?

Third, a diagram in the ABC News report was marked "May 2019". I'm not sure if it's an unintentional mistake or due to some other reason.
论文认为是关键证据之一的、比如说咳嗽腹泻的检索量 , 我注意到中方有些媒体也做了一些深度的调研 , 就发现论文当中引述的2019年9月份对咳嗽和腹泻两个关键词的检索量 , 还不如2017年和2018年同期 。

Fourth, regarding the search data of "cough" and "diarrhea", which is considered key evidence in the study, I noticed that some Chinese media, after in-depth research, found that the increase in "cough" and "diarrhea" search data cited by the study is actually less than that over the same period in 2017 and 2018.
华春莹表示:“事实上 , 将这么严肃的科学问题进行如此不严肃的处理 , 实在是让人感到奇怪 。 这么一个漏洞百出
、粗制滥造
的所谓论文 , 却让美方一些政客和媒体如获至宝 , 大肆传播 。 ”

In fact, it is odd that such a serious scientific issue should be taken so lightly. However, this so-called research, full of loopholes and shoddy work
