Knowing now that COVID-19 was most likely created in a lab, and that most governments lack the will or wherewithal to address it, what is to stop the "bad guys" from using this same information (natural antibodies) to create the next iteration that is more deadly? I personally lost trust in most corporations that can easily be bought out. In cyber sec terms, the same hands funding the Red Team (virology lab in Wuhan) are profiting from the Blue Team (pharma). It's like the Broken Window fallacy except killing people.
