调查发现，在40-54岁的俄罗斯人中普遍认为这种病毒

是作为生物武器实验室人工嵌合的，其中有71％的人

持这种观点。只有23％的人认为该病毒是自然产生的。

The belief that the virus was created as a

biological weapon is predominant in Russians

aged 40-54, with 71% of them holding that 

view, the poll found. Only 23% think the virus

emerged naturally.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Nearly two thirds of Russians are not willing to receive Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine, and about the same number believe the new coronavirus was created artificially as a biological weapon, an independent pollster said on Monday.

The Levada Center said a poll it conducted last month showed that 62% of people did not want to get Russia’s domestically produced vaccine, and that the highest level of reluctance was identified among 18 to 24-year-olds.

Most respondents cited side effects -- which can include fever and fatigue -- as the main reason for not wanting to get vaccinated.

The poll, which sampled 1,601 people in 50 regions, also found that 64% of people thought the new coronavirus was created as a biological weapon.

The origin of COVID-19 has been highly politicised, but the majority of virologists and infectious disease experts say it is most likely to have evolved naturally.

A World Health Organization (WHO) mission to China said last month that it was not looking further into whether the virus escaped from a lab, which it considered highly unlikely.

The mission has said its main hypotheses are that the virus originated in a bat, although there are several possible scenarios for how it passed to humans, possibly first by infecting another species of animal.

The belief that the virus was created as a biological weapon is predominant in Russians aged 40-54, with 71% of them holding that view, the poll found. Only 23% think the virus emerged naturally.

Russia, which has recorded nearly 4.3 million coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, has approved three vaccines against COVID-19.

The country of around 145 million people launched a mass vaccination campaign with Sputnik V in December. On Feb. 10, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said that more than two million Russians have been vaccinated with at least the first dose of Sputnik V.

有人将生物武器称为"穷人的原子弹"，是因为其生产设备比较

简单，所用原料容易获得，一般有大量生产抗菌素或疫苗能力

的国家就具有生产生物战剂的潜力。在核生化武器中，生物

武器的单位重量的面积效应是最大的。不同于能瞬时产生

杀伤力的核、化武，生物武器并没有立即杀伤的作用，

生物战剂进入人体后，必须经过一定时间的潜伏期才能发作，

很难用作战术武器使用。

　　生物武器最主要特点就是传染性。生物战剂通过感染病人，

再从病人体内排出感染周围健康人，并在人群中造成流行，不断

扩大流行面积。传染不仅可以造成更大面积的杀伤，还可以制造

人为恐慌情绪，在精神上影响对方士气。
