It feels a bit of an overkill, given that your comment is already negative, but I kinda want to point out the fallacy. Preventing pandemics _is_ the best way of responding to them. If we're going to have 10 big epidemies next century, doing whatever we can to make sure 3 don't happen at all is by far the best response to those 3. So researching the sh*t out of the causes of this particular pandemic is likely to get us extremely good return of investment.
