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.
- xxxxxxx12 6y ago> 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.
- meepmorp 6y agoThat’s an absurd conclusion. We’ve had nuclear accidents before. Should we abandon all nuclear research, since in practice there are accidents?
- creamytaco 6y agoNot only is it absurd, there has been no documented value that we derived from this research. Totally useless and totally destructive.
