Are 3 million dead not a good enough reason to call this kind of research irresponsible ?!?

  One, you're assuming that this research is the cause of the pandemic, and that's not a given. Two, even if the pandemic were caused by this research, that doesn't make the research itself irresponsible.

    > that doesn't make the research itself irresponsible This seems like an absurd conclusion. If research isn't done responsibly in practice, and results in disaster, then the risks aren't worth it.

      That’s an absurd conclusion. We’ve had nuclear accidents before. Should we abandon all nuclear research, since in practice there are accidents?

      Not only is it absurd, there has been no documented value that we derived from this research. Totally useless and totally destructive.
