《華盛頓郵報》援引了相關領域5名專家的評論，他們均表示，武漢實驗室泄露病毒的論調簡直無知，並給讀者進行了簡單的科普。

美國羅格斯大學化學生物學教授理查德·艾布賴特（Richard Ebright）：

根據病毒基因組和特性，沒有任何跡象表明它是一種工程病毒。

"Based on the virus genome and properties there is no indication whatsoever that it was an engineered virus," said Richard Ebright, a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University.

馬裏蘭州生物安全專家蒂姆·特雷文（Tim Trevan）：

“絕大多數新型、重大疾疫情……都不是人為的。

"The vast majority of new, nasty diseases ... come from nature," he said.

馬裏蘭大學化學武器專家彌爾頓·利滕伯格（Milton Leitenberg）：

跟全球的分析師在私人郵件裏討論過病毒是否可能是武漢實驗室泄露的生化武器，沒有任何人有讓人信服的證據證明這一理論。

Milton Leitenberg, an expert on chemical weapons at the University of Maryland, said he and other analysts around the world had discussed the possibility that weapons development at the Wuhan lab could have led to the coronavirus outbreak in a private email chain but that no one had found convincing evidence to support the theory.

新美國安全中心的研究員埃爾莎·卡尼亞（Elsa Kania）：

從理論上講，生物武器將被設計成具有很強的針對性，而自從它爆發以來，冠狀病毒已經廣泛傳播。

Hypothetically, a bioweapon would be designed to be highly targeted in its effects, whereas since its outbreak the coronavirus is already on track to become widespread in China and worldwide,” she said.

麻省理工學院教授維平·納朗（Vipin Narang）：

生物武器“理論上具有很高的致死率，低傳播感染率”，傳播這樣的陰謀論“極其不負責任”。

...a good bioweapon "in theory has high lethality but low, not [high], communicability" and that spreading such ideas would be "incredibly irresponsible".
