Oh I see. I didn't follow your links, rather I thought your second para was the quote.
"I think it's possible to split out the question of bioresearch risks from Covid origins. If it was a lab leak, obviously we should regulate those risks better, but we should also do more to mitigate zoonotic spillover, because we have tons of evidence that happens and causes damage. If it wasn't lab leak, we should do more to mitigate spillover, but it would also be a good idea to be more careful about biosafety."
- raphlinus 5y agoNope, apologies if there is any confusion. That's just my opinion. I'm basically trying to make the point that this overfocus on origins is more of a political question than one with direct public health impact.
- wombatmobile 5y agoYes, I can see from your comment that you are interested in public health. The over focus on origin is clearly a proxy for something else.
