Lab leaks of novel diseases. I mean, duh, if you culture stuff that's already endemic it's going to get out.
I'm saying that if you take any strain of any human disease anywhere, and ask the question "is this a naturally evolved pathogen or was it cultured in a lab?", Darwin wins by a factor of like ten thousand. Yet... somehow no one thinks that's a relevant fact?
- thu2111 5y agoThat makes no sense. You're claiming that natural viruses will of course leak all the time, but GOF enhanced viruses are "novel" and thus won't? That's implausible, the GOF enhanced viruses are bred to be more virulent, not less. Moreover, the ways lab leaks happen don't depend on where the virus came from originally.
