摘要翻译：
在新冠肺炎疫情爆发一年后，新型冠状病毒病毒的起源仍然困扰着人类。早期的出版物坚定地声明病毒是自然起源的，在后来的大多数出版物中，病毒可能是从实验室逃逸的可能性被抛弃了。然而，基于对最初论点的重新分析，以目前关于病毒的知识为重点，我们表明自然起源没有确凿的论点支持，实验室起源不能正式放弃。我们呼吁同行评议期刊开放，对关于病毒起源的所有合理假设进行理性、循证和无偏见的评估。我们主张这场辩论应该在知名科学期刊的专栏中进行，而不是留给社交媒体和报纸。

英文摘要：
  One year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 still eludes humanity. Early publications firmly stated that the virus was of natural origin, and the possibility that the virus might have escaped from a lab was discarded in most subsequent publications. However, based on a re-analysis of the initial arguments, highlighted by the current knowledge about the virus, we show that the natural origin is not supported by conclusive arguments, and that a lab origin cannot be formally discarded. We call for an opening of peer-reviewed journals to a rational, evidence-based and prejudice-free evaluation of all the reasonable hypotheses about the virus' origin. We advocate that this debate should take place in the columns of renowned scientific journals, rather than being left to social media and newspapers.
