费城6日下午2时左右惊传亚裔民众遭受暴力攻击，其中一名37岁亚裔女子背部中刀之后性命垂危；费城警方指出，受害者包括一名后脑与左腿被刀刺伤的10岁亚裔男童，还有一名头部两度被刺的15岁亚裔青少年，所幸两名男孩紧急送医之后状况稳定。
费城警方表示，凶嫌自首后，立即遭到扣押。据CBS费城频道报导，警方证实，这起持刀行凶的暴力攻击，6日下午2时8分发生于梅菲尔社区(Mayfair)诺尔街(Knorr Street)3200路段一处住宅，受害者都是亚裔，警方并未公布受害者姓名，只表示为一名母亲和两名孩子。
根据警方初步调查，遇刺的亚裔妇女身上被刺数刀，15岁青少年头部两度被刺，10岁男孩则后脑与左腿各中一刀。
三名受害者被送往法兰克福特-托瑞斯戴尔医院(Frankford-Torresdale Hospital)；警方表示，两名男孩状况稳定，但妇人直到6日晚间则未脱离险境。
警方表示，一名男子已向费城第15区警察局自首，旋即被警方带到医院让受害者确认是否为凶嫌，男子目前已被警方扣押。截至6日晚间，费城并未宣布是否以任何罪名起诉自首男子。
费城警察局统计数据显示，与去年同期相比，费城暴力犯罪案件增加3.7%。2021年间，费城发生560多件凶杀案，打破1990年503件凶杀案的最高纪录。

美国爆发新冠疫情之后，针对亚裔民众的仇恨犯罪(hate crimes)大量增加，2020年仇亚犯罪案件数量较2019年增加77%。由于中国首先传出新冠疫情，亚裔民众因此受到牵累。
联邦调查局(FBI)统计显示，2019年间全美有158起仇亚仇恨犯罪通报案例，到了2020年则增加至279例，增加幅度为77%。
上周在纽约市，就有一名男子在短短数小时内连续攻击七名亚裔妇女，针对亚裔的攻击，惊骇全市。
地方电视台WPVI 报导，6日在光天化日之下发生持刀攻击事件，已被警方拉上封锁线的事发地点仍可看出行凶手段残暴。诺尔街马路两旁都是墙壁相连成排的连栋式房屋。
梅菲尔社区位于费城东北区，社区人口约有10%为亚裔。
「费城询问报」(Philadelphia Inquirer)报导，2021年间，一名17岁华裔学生在梅菲尔社区无故遭到两名青少年殴打。受害学生与祖母后来表示，滋事青少年的一名女性友人还在一旁嘲笑。
报导指出，由于华裔学生遭殴打时并没有被骂种族歧视用词，因此警方并未以仇恨犯罪的方向侦办此案。
仇恨犯罪升高 反亚裔案1年暴增339%

圣贝纳迪诺加州大学(California State University, San Bernardino)仇恨及极端主义研究中心(Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism)公布最新研究报告指出，全美各地反亚裔仇恨犯罪案件数量，2021年里比2020年增加339%，纽约、旧金山、洛杉矶等城市的仇亚犯罪案件纷纷再创新高；针对各地亚裔社区而发动的仇恨犯罪，严重程度前所未见。
仇恨犯罪升高 报案增加11%
研究结论指出，仇亚犯罪增加反映了仇恨犯罪整体上升的趋势。在规模最大的十多个美国城市里，过去一年里警方接获仇恨犯罪报案数量，平均增加了11%。
不过，报告当中也指出，若以族裔区分，非洲裔美国人仍是在美国各地城市最常受到攻击的族群。另外，纽约的犹太社区去年也出现数量创新高的仇恨犯罪，研究人员指出，背后因素与2021年5月发生长达3周的加萨战争(Gaza War)有关。
在芝加哥，男同性恋者则是最常遭受仇恨攻击的目标。若以地点区分， 洛杉矶是2021年当中，仇恨犯罪案件数量最多的美国城市，纽约则排名第二。
AAAJ主席杨重远 吁亚裔团结
国家广播公司(NBC)报导，亚美公义促进会(Asian Americans Advancing Justice，AAAJ)主席杨重远(John C. Yang)指出，就在亚裔社区饱受疫情引发的种族歧视折磨之际，统计数据显示其他族裔同样面临各种类型的仇恨犯罪，由此可见动荡时刻若能团结一致，「大家都能受益」。
杨重远指出：「我们必须让社会大众注意到冲击了所有社群的仇恨。」他说，亚裔社区与代表多元化族裔及信仰背景的盟友社群相互支持，意义非常重大，男女同志、双性恋、跨性别者(LGBTQ)社区就经历许多仇恨攻击，「这当中有一种患难见真情的强烈情感」。
统计显示，2020年发生于全美各地的反亚仇恨案件，数量比2019年增加124%，纽约市的统计数字尤其惊人，2019年反亚仇恨案件为30件，到了2020年变成133件，增加了343%。同期之间，旧金山反亚仇恨案件数量则从9件增加到60件，增加了567%，洛杉矶的反亚仇恨案件数量同样增加了173%。
杨重远说，来自不同社群的民众彼此展现「结盟」(allyship)与团结的方式有很多，例如从解决日常生活里的微冒犯(microaggressions)及某些不经意的种族歧视开始。
旧金山警长：去年AAPI社区仇恨犯罪 增逾6倍
世界新闻网
01/26/2022
根据旧金山警察局25日（周二）公布的统计数据，2021年旧金山针对亚裔与太平洋岛裔社区（AAPI）的仇恨犯罪增加了六倍多。
25日上午，在华埠举行的「AAPI社区犯罪数据和农历新年安全策略」新闻发布会上，旧金山警察局长史考特（Bill Scott）公布，「针对亚太裔个人的仇恨犯罪的数字在2021年上升到60起，比2020年报告的9起和2019年的8起大幅增加。」其中，去年8月被捕的一名仇恨罪犯占据了60起犯罪中的至少31起。他强调说，这就更要加强对仇恨犯罪的防范，做好对仇恨犯罪的责任追究、逮捕和起诉。
目前旧金山警察局正在加大巡逻力度，逮捕仇恨犯罪嫌犯。因去年湾区发生了一连串仇恨犯罪事件，同时这类犯罪事件在全国范围内激增飙升。停止AAPI仇恨联盟，记录了去年湾区至少931起仇恨事件发生。
新闻发布会上，史考特公布了几起涉嫌仇恨犯罪的案例：54岁的帕特里克汤普森，于5月因涉嫌在市中心的一个公交车站刺伤两名老年妇人而被捕，尽管地方检察长博彻思后来表示，他不会指控汤普森犯有仇恨罪，因为目前尚不清楚受害者的身份；9 月，屋仑20岁的奥肖恩．加西亚 (O’Sean Garcia) 被指控犯有至少六起可追溯到2021年3月的抢劫案，据称这些抢劫案针对的都是亚洲女性。
出席发布会的旧金山市长布里德说，针对旧金山市AAPI社区尤其是老年居民的暴力事件持续不断地发生，让她感到非常的忧心。
根据警方公布的信息，2021年旧金山AAPI仇恨犯罪的人数，比其他犯罪比例增长得都要多。从2020年到2021年，旧金山的反犹太仇恨犯罪增加了60%，达到 8 起。反非裔仇恨犯罪增加了27%，达到14起，反LGBTQ仇恨犯罪增加了50%，达到15起。而根据警方的数据，去年针对阿拉伯人或穆斯林、白人和西班牙裔的仇恨犯罪，均有所减少。
安老自助处行政总监钟月娟（Anni Chung ）表示，感谢市长布里德提供了3万元的紧急资金，为安老自助处的老年人提供了护送服务计划。此项计划目前不只是在华埠实行，现已扩展到整个城市，为那些在去看医生、去银行或只是在附近散步的老年人，提供安全保障。
AAPI Legal Outreach运行董事伊藤泰勒 (Dean Ito Taylor) 表示，尽管最近在湾区针对AAPI社区的犯罪活动有所缓和，但恐惧仍然弥漫，并没有减弱。他说，亚太裔社区遭受了多年的种族暴力，但我们不会再沉默，这不是AAPI社区的问题，这是美国的问题。
警察局长史考特对即将到来的农历新年，给亚裔社区的长者们几点安全提醒：上街尽量不要佩戴珠宝；谨防陌生人，不要与陌生人搭讪或是邀请到家中庆祝新年；让子女或是亲朋好友知晓自己的行踪和出行路线；如有任何危险境况请紧急拨打911。
Outpouring of support for girl beaten in SEPTA attack, over $700,000 raised via GoFundMe to stop Asian hate
The 18-year-old, who was trying to stop others from being bullied, has been released from the hospital.

A huge outpouring of support for the Asian American girl who got attacked on SEPTA after trying to stop bullying brought in over half a million dollars in less than 24 hours, via a fundraiser set up by her mother and brother.
Titled “Support Christina in Advocating for Public Safety,” the GoFundMe had raised nearly $550,000 by early Saturday afternoon, from close to 10,000 donors.
The page was set up by YLin Chen and Michael Chen, the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation confirmed to Billy Penn. They are mother and brother to Christina, the 18-year-old seen being punched and stomped on by other girls in a viral video of the attack.
Christina was recently released from the hospital, according to the fundraiser, and will be receiving mental health support from a therapist.
“As her family, we will continue to campaign against Asian hate crimes in the School District of Philadelphia,” the Chens wrote on GoFundMe. “In addition, we are actively advocating for the safety of school students when taking public transportation.”
The assault took place around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Broad Street Line near Erie Station, according to SEPTA.
An 18-year-old senior at Central High School, Christina was riding home from school, her aunt Mei Lu said, when she saw a group of Black girls “tormenting” another group of Asian American students who attend Central.
When she tried to intervene, the group of harassers turned on her, injuring her to the extent that she required hospitalization.
The attackers were identified within a day, according to Transit Police Chief Thomas Nestel III. Described as being between 13 and 16 years old, they face multiple counts including ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and disorderly conduct.
One of the girls charged with assault had run away from home two weeks prior, her mother said in an interview with NBC10. She called her daughter’s actions inexcusable.
“We’re all apologetic,” the mother told NBC10, which is not releasing her name. “We are embarrassed, ashamed. It’s not who we represent.”
The attack has become a rallying point for Philly’s AAPI community.
People of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have contended with increased hate crimes since the start of the pandemic. Nationwide, more than 9,000 anti-Asian incidents have been reported over the past two years, up more than 75% from before COVID.
Councilmember David Oh, who was the first Asian American elected to political office in Philadelphia, has called on SEPTA and the school district to increase security measures. Nestel, the transit police chief, told WHYY he was immediately stationing an officer at Olney Station to help commuting students.
No details are yet available on the Chen family’s plans for the money raised, per the Chinatown Development Corporation. On the GoFundeMe they wrote donations will “help us advocate for the city’s public safety.”
Comments on the fundraiser page praise Christina as brave and a hero. “You have showed true courage and selflessness!” one donor said. “So proud of your heroic action!” said another. “You are not alone,” wrote a third.
Christina’s main wish, the Chens wrote, “is that students, regardless of race, can be safe outside of their homes.”

美国英雄华裔女孩出院 GoFundMe捐款破$60万阻亚裔仇恨
来源：华人生活网
11/20/2021
费城华裔女生因为保护亚裔男生被黑人殴打的事件继续引发热议。
据悉女孩Christina目前已经出院，她的左眼被打得红肿出血。
女学生的亲属19日接受采访时痛心表示，女孩成为“英雄”付出了惨痛代价，她是“黑人的命也是命”(BLM)的倡议者，希望亚裔的命也能同样受到重视。
女孩的阿姨卢梅(Mei Lu，姓名皆音译)说，虽然消息曝光后社区给予很多的关怀和爱，大家甚至称她为英雄，她的母亲还是因为女儿的经历感到心碎，“付出了惨痛的代价才成为的英雄”。
舅舅卢麦克也表示，“Christina(女学生)只是想要保护低年级的学生”，她勇敢站出来讲话，站在施暴者的面前阻止他们。
该案引起华社高度关注。
一名知情人士透露，这名勇敢的女孩是福建长乐人，其伯父是活跃于费城华社的侨领，市府将颁发表彰给英勇的Christina。
而华人社区组织的捐款，更是在短短一天时间内，捐款已达55万美元。
有网友称女生希望把全部或绝大部分捐款用于宣传和推动公共安全，尤其是保护学生的安全。

另外，针对许多网友责备三名亚裔男孩未做反击。
也有知情人士也说他们并非首次遭霸凌；16日傍晚两名施暴者无故攻击男孩们，将饮料倒在他们身上，男孩曾言语反击，没想到隔天17日对方找来一班人蹲点等著他们。
Nov 17, 2021
当时施暴者仗着人多势众，已把男孩们打得全身都是瘀青，因为被打怕了，后面才不敢再还击。

18年纽约地铁毛女攻击亚女事件，见义勇为的小黑哥堪称典范
11/19/2021
毛女打亚女，一群亚裔就站在旁边看。毛女大声骂“庆科”，一群亚裔就轰的一声，喊句”shut the f**k up”，其他啥也不会干。
旁边的多米尼加小黑哥看不过去骂毛女种族分子，毛女朝他吐唾沫，小黑哥立刻上去制服她。最傻叉的是几个亚男还喊stop，男人不能欺负女人。小黑哥也不理，一路押着毛女下车报警，处理手法堪称完美。
Dec 14, 2018
Video of a violent attack is just the latest in an uptick in crime that has some people worried about their safety on mass transit. CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reports.
事情处理的好根本原因还是小黑哥的体能碾压毛女，但是旁观亚裔们的冷漠加傻逼，实在令人唏嘘。

宾州东南捷运17日发生一起暴力事件，多名非裔年轻女生在费城捷运列车上辱骂殴打一群亚裔学生，更是将另一名上前劝阻的华裔女生暴打在地。
宾州东南捷运(SEPTA)17日发生一起暴力事件，四名非洲裔年轻女性在费城捷运列车上辱骂殴打三名亚裔学生，口出种族歧视语言，更将另一名上前劝阻的华裔女性暴打在地；费城东南捷运警方18日表示，此案属于基于种族的犯罪，四名施暴者将面临多项指控，包括种族恐吓(ethnic intimidation)和恶性攻击(aggravated assault)。
事件发生在17日下午3时30分左右，Broad Street线列车行驶在Erie Station附近时，四名站立在车厢中部的非洲裔青少年不停地向对面坐在座位上的三名亚裔男性青年挥拳、咆哮，不时口出歧视性语言，喊叫「Fxxxing China」，遭遇攻击的亚裔男性并未反击；一名华裔女性出面劝阻，却被施暴的非裔拽到车门处，将华裔女性的头部撞向车门，随后将她暴打在地，其中一人脱下鞋子砸向华裔女性的头部。
据悉，其中一名被攻击的华裔男生是14岁的费城中央中学(Central High School)一年级学生，而见义勇为的华裔女生则是该高中三年级华裔女生，施暴的几名非裔学生来自特许学校，其中一名施暴者的家长看到视频后已经联系警方合作；受害华裔女生的家属说，女生名叫Tina。
据大费城侨界人士介绍，被4名非裔女生群殴的华裔女生TINA LU，祖籍地为福建省福州市长乐区石屏村。
在18日会见校长时，她的母亲声泪俱下的表示，如果那些嫌疑犯带有枪械刀具，他的女儿就要没命的。她要代表她的女儿说，这是我们应该站出来的，她是为保护我们的华裔同学。地铁上的所有族裔客乘，都应该勇敢面对这种歧视与暴力事件的发生。
得悉被殴打女生祖籍为长乐区后，费城华社侨胞纷纷昵称她为“长乐女英雄”。对于她见义勇为的行为，费城警察公开表达赞同。该警察表示，这个女生挺身而出，告诉那些女生停止攻击，然而却成为被攻击的对象，这是英雄的行为。
FOX的报道称，这名女性受害者在下午3:45呼叫了SEPTA交通警察，并将袭击事件通知了他们。她被紧急送往一家医院，在那里接受了割伤治疗。
据报道，SEPTA警方展开调查，正在与费城警察局和该地区的学校合作。警方在录像中总共发现了一名男性受害者和两名女性受害者，另外还有两名受害者是高中生。
SEPTA交通警察局长Thomas Nestel在周四下午的新闻发布会上说，录像中的四名女性嫌疑人年龄在13-16岁，正在等待指控，包括种族恐吓、严重袭击、简单袭击、鲁莽危害他人和恐怖威胁。
Thomas Nestel还表示，这次袭击是基于“种族”和“种族侮辱”来攻击受害者，但这一事件是“无缘无故的”。
对于女性受害者，他告诉记者，“她是一个英雄。她站了起来，告诉4名袭击亚裔男生的女孩们不要再说她们说的话。然后她成了一个目标。真是英雄，勇敢。”
据了解，该女生的伯伯也是大费城华社的知名侨领。
Aunt speaks out after niece attacked on SEPTA train: ‘She did the right thing’
The attack happened after school Wednesday, around 3:30 p.m., on the Broad Street Line.

11/19/2021
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The aunt of one of the victims who was attacked on a SEPTA train earlier this week spoke out Friday morning, saying her niece was violently beaten for trying to stop the assault.
On Thursday, SEPTA police said the suspects involved in a violent assault involving students on the Broad Street Line will be charged with ethnic intimidation.
“My niece didn’t even know anybody,” Mei Lu said. “It was at the wrong place, wrong time. But what she did, she did the right thing. She stepped up for strangers, for people she doesn’t know.”
According to investigators, the incident happened after school Wednesday, around 3:30 p.m., on a train near the Erie Station.
Video of the assault shows a female student yelling at another group of students sitting on the train.
SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel said the victims in the attack are Asian and the four suspects are African American females.
The altercation quickly escalates.
In the video, one of the female students, now a suspect, is seen throwing a punch. The group of victims sit and try to shield themselves.
One of the suspects gets into the face of another female student who is standing. Then the suspect’s attention goes back to the students who are sitting.
More obscenities are shouted and then the situation turns more violent.
The female student who is standing gets hit in the face multiple times. Then her head is slammed against the side of the train and she is taken to the ground. She is punched and stomped on repeatedly.
Authorities are investigating after video captured a violent assault involving students on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line.
One of the suspects is seen taking off her shoe and hits the victim repeatedly.
Then you hear someone’s voice and the video stops.
“This was an attack based on ethnicity and ethnic slurs were used by the attackers,” Nestel said.
On Thursday night, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office approved charges of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, criminal conspiracy, simple assault and other related offenses against four of the juveniles.
One suspect has been charged with one additional count of robbery for an attempted theft of one of the victims’ air pods.
“This matter will proceed in the juvenile justice system; as such, we will not be releasing the names of the defendants. We are grateful to our partners in law enforcement, particularly SEPTA Police, for their swift investigation of this incident,” said the district attorney’s office in a statement.
At this point, SEPTA police say the attack seemed unprovoked.
The students who were injured attend Central High School, Nestel said.
Officials said that starting immediately, a police escort will be present on the Broad Street Line for students returning home from Central.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact SEPTA police at (215) 580-8111 or Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS.

宾州东南捷运(SEPTA)17日发生一起暴力事件，四名非洲裔年轻女性在费城捷运列车上辱骂殴打三名亚裔学生，口出种族歧视语言，更将另一名上前劝阻的华裔女性暴打在地；费城东南捷运警方18日表示，此案属于基于种族的犯罪，四名施暴者将面临多项指控，包括种族恐吓(ethnic intimidation)和恶性攻击(aggravated assault)。

Authorities are investigating after video captured a violent assault involving students on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line.
According to SEPTA, the incident happened on the train near the Erie Station on Wednesday afternoon.
“SEPTA Police were notified and immediately launched an investigation. Progress has been made in identifying individuals who were involved in the assault. Investigators are continuing to interview witnesses and reviewing cell phone video that has been released on social media, as well as SEPTA surveillance video,” said a SEPTA spokesperson in a statement.
The video shows what appears to be a female student yelling at a group of other students sitting on the train. The altercation quickly escalates and multiple punches are thrown by several students.
受害的14岁华裔男生的母亲表示，相信这起暴力案是种族歧视引起的，她在接受CBS采访时用中文表示，「我实在不知道这为什么会发生，我儿子又没做错什么，也不认识那些非裔学生。」据悉，该高中亚裔学生的家长18日早已经与校长见面。
此外，一个名为Timura Warren的目击者在脸书上发帖称，施暴者的目标就是亚裔学生，也有网友评论称这群人经常在地铁站和车厢内针对亚裔学生袭击；Warren表示，「这些非裔女生在我坐的车厢里谈论中国人哪里有问题，然后换了一节车厢，我们就看到那个女孩被打倒在地；这就是他们做的事情。」
也有传言称被打的华裔女生曾对非裔学生口出种族歧视语言，但中央高中还有一名交Teagan的学生则通过推特发布了被打华裔女生的哥哥David的声明，坚决否认，「虚假谣言正在传播，我希望所有人知道，我妹妹从没说出种族歧视语言；Tina没有受重伤，但需要时间平复自己。」Teagan也表示，这已经不是第一次该校学生被卷入亚裔仇恨犯罪。
负责调查此案的费城警方、宾州东南捷运警方、宾州学校管理局(Philadelphia School Administration)、学区警方和费城人际关系委员会(Philadelphia Human Relations Commission)18日下午召开记者会，宾州东南捷运警局局长内斯特尔(Thomas Nestel)表示，四名袭击者的年龄都不满17岁，将面临多项指控，包括种族恐吓(ethnic intimidation)和恶性攻击(aggravated assault)。
内斯特尔说，这起袭击案是基于种族的，袭击者使用了种族歧视语言，「因此，袭击者将被指控种族恐吓。」
Nov 17, 2021
A video of the attack was posted publicly on social media Wednesday evening.
同时，其中一名非裔袭击者的母亲接受NBC采访时表示道歉，称女儿的行为是不可原谅的，「我女儿和他的小团伙都是袭击者，如果那些亚裔孩子们做了什么，我想他们是在保护自己，这是我从视频上看到的；我们感到非常抱歉、窘迫、羞愧，那种行为不代表我们。」
Nov 18, 2021
这位母亲说，她12岁的女儿此前已经离家出走两周，直到警方告知女儿已被拘留，「我感到非常受伤，所以我要和公众说明，我的家庭真诚地向那些受害的孩子们道歉，因为我们都希望自己的孩子能够安全的上下学。」
她还说，她正在联系受害者的家庭，「我希望他们知道，他们不必害怕我们；我的女儿也不是有意的，如果她也会真诚道歉。」
尽管女儿已经被控种族恐吓，但这位母亲说，并不相信女儿的行为是基于种族歧视的，「你从视频中可以看到，我女儿是穆斯林，我们从不那样做，我们尊重别人、保守谦逊。」
费城亚裔市议员欧大卫(David Oh)则呼吁宾州东南捷运和费城学区加强安保措施，「警方、宾州东南捷运及学校安保管员必须对此事做出回应。」

郑重提醒在美中国公民加强安全防范 警惕针对亚裔的歧视和暴力
2021/08/28
8月27日，美国国家情报总监办公室发布所谓“新冠病毒溯源调查报告”要点，认为目前新冠病毒源自自然界和实验室泄漏的两种可能性都不能排除。报告诬蔑中方阻挠国际调查、拒绝共享信息并指责他国。白宫同日就新冠病毒溯源调查发布声明，妄称中方阻挠溯源工作的国际调查，缺乏透明度，企图纠集有关伙伴方对中方施压。中方对此坚决反对、强烈谴责。
美国政府通过情报机构搞所谓溯源报告，妄图对中国进行“有罪推定”，是为了推卸自身抗疫失败责任、向中国甩锅推责。美方这种做法只会对国际溯源和全球抗疫合作造成干扰和破坏，对美民众形成不良引导，引发新一轮针对亚裔的歧视和暴力。
中国驻美使馆郑重提醒广大在美中国公民务必加强安全防范，警惕针对亚裔的歧视和暴力。遭遇此类情况务必保持冷静，妥善应对，尽量避免发生口角和肢体冲突，确保自身安全。如遇暴力行为和安全威胁，请立即拨打美国报警、求助电话：911（可要求中文服务），或请求他人协助报警，并及时向校方、雇佣方反映和寻求帮助，要求依法依规公正处理。必要时，可循法律途径维护自身合法权益。

针对美国国家情报总监办公室发布的“新冠病毒溯源调查报告”，中国驻美国使馆提醒中国公民加强安全防范警惕“仇亚”暴力。
中国驻美国大使馆网站发布的公告称，美国国家情报总监办公室发布“新冠病毒溯源调查报告”认为目前冠病病毒源自自然界和实验室泄漏的两种可能性都不能排除，并指中方阻挠国际调查、拒绝共享信息并指责他国，中方对此坚决反对、强烈谴责。
公告说，美国政府通过情报机构搞溯源报告，妄图对中国进行“有罪推定”，是为了推卸自身抗疫失败责任、向中国甩锅推责。美方这种做法只会对国际溯源和全球抗疫合作造成干扰和破坏，对美民众形成不良引导，引发新一轮针对亚裔的歧视和暴力。

美情报部门公布新冠病毒溯源报告非机密评估摘要：不确定病毒来源
据央视新闻消息，当地时间8月27日，美国国家情报总监办公室公布了新冠病毒溯源报告非机密评估摘要，称情报系统各分支在新冠起源的两种主流观点——“实验室泄漏说”和“自然起源说”之间仍无法统一观点。
报告没有对新冠病毒起源给出定论，不过，报告指出，调查结果表明新冠病毒并非是作为生物武器创造而来。同时，新冠病毒也几乎不可能是通过基因工程编辑而来。同时，报告称，中国官员在新冠疫情暴发前并没有对这种病毒有所了解。此前，美国总统拜登曾命令情报部门对新冠病毒起源发起调查，并限时90天给出调查报告。
US virologists synthesize infectious SARS-like coronavirus in 2008: PNAS
Xinhua
8/20/2021
BEIJING — A group of US virologists reported “the design, synthesis, and recovery of the largest synthetic replicating life form,” a 29.7-kb bat SARS-like coronavirus in an article published in the US scientific journal PNAS as early as October 2008.
The article reported the creation in laboratory of the coronavirus, which was not only infectious in mice, but also in human airway epithelial cell cultures.
Researchers have the ability to design and synthesize various SARS-like coronaviruses, said Ralph Baric, professor at the University of North Carolina and leading author of the article published in the scientific journal PNAS.
Since 1983, Baric has published over 400 papers in his own name or as an instructor, including 268 papers on coronavirus. He has been exploring the analysis, manipulation and creation of coronavirus, and recombining, cloning, modifying and transforming different viruses for more than 30 years, according to a report by China’s Science and Technology Daily on Thursday.
Insufficient fund had been the biggest headache of Baric in his study of coronavirus until the outbreak of SARS in 2003, which proved to the world the lethality of coronavirus and the tremendous damage coronavirus could inflict on humanity.
In 2006, after an unknown number of generations of targeted culture of viruses by Baric’s team, a mutation that can successfully cause rapid death in mice appeared, and this new virus can infect humans and lead to pneumonia and higher mortality.
In a report, he warned that the technology of synthesizing virus sequences has the potential to be used to make biological weapons of mass destruction. However, his warning was seen as an advertisement by warmongers.
The Fort Detrick lab researchers were among the inventors of many of Baric’s granted patents. This practice is more conducive to covert patent sharing, so that the staff of the lab will no longer have to pay patent fees for virus preparation in the future.
The article described Baric’s creation of coronavirus with an aim to respond to health emergencies as “confusing.”

Today, public health and medical experts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the following statement on the Administration’s plan for COVID-19 booster shots for the American people.
The statement is attributable to Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General; Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH); Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); Dr. Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health; Dr. David Kessler, Chief Science Officer for the COVID-19 Response; and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, Chair of the COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force:
“The COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States continue to be remarkably effective in reducing risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even against the widely circulating Delta variant. Recognizing that many vaccines are associated with a reduction in protection over time, and acknowledging that additional vaccine doses could be needed to provide long lasting protection, we have been analyzing the scientific data closely from the United States and around the world to understand how long this protection will last and how we might maximize this protection. The available data make very clear that protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection begins to decrease over time following the initial doses of vaccination, and in association with the dominance of the Delta variant, we are starting to see evidence of reduced protection against mild and moderate disease. Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish in the months ahead, especially among those who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the earlier phases of the vaccination rollout. For that reason, we conclude that a booster shot will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability.
“We have developed a plan to begin offering these booster shots this fall subject to FDA conducting an independent evaluation and determination of the safety and effectiveness of a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issuing booster dose recommendations based on a thorough review of the evidence. We are prepared to offer booster shots for all Americans beginning the week of September 20 and starting 8 months after an individual’s second dose. At that time, the individuals who were fully vaccinated earliest in the vaccination rollout, including many health care providers, nursing home residents, and other seniors, will likely be eligible for a booster. We would also begin efforts to deliver booster shots directly to residents of long-term care facilities at that time, given the distribution of vaccines to this population early in the vaccine rollout and the continued increased risk that COVID-19 poses to them.
“We also anticipate booster shots will likely be needed for people who received the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine. Administration of the J&J vaccine did not begin in the U.S. until March 2021, and we expect more data on J&J in the next few weeks. With those data in hand, we will keep the public informed with a timely plan for J&J booster shots as well.
“Our top priority remains staying ahead of the virus and protecting the American people from COVID-19 with safe, effective, and long-lasting vaccines especially in the context of a constantly changing virus and epidemiologic landscape. We will continue to follow the science on a daily basis, and we are prepared to modify this plan should new data emerge that requires it.
“We also want to emphasize the ongoing urgency of vaccinating the unvaccinated in the U.S. and around the world. Nearly all the cases of severe disease, hospitalization, and death continue to occur among those not yet vaccinated at all. We will continue to ramp up efforts to increase vaccinations here at home and to ensure people have accurate information about vaccines from trusted sources. We will also continue to expand our efforts to increase the supply of vaccines for other countries, building further on the more than 600 million doses we have already committed to donate globally.”
