The only thing you are missing is the hubris of the researchers involved, typified by the attitude of the author in this piece. In my opinion, the preponderance of the evidence available today strongly suggests that Covid was indeed created in a lab. Countless millions are dead and the lives of billions have been permanently upended. The fact is that there is no such thing as perfect safety, and there is always a risk that whatever viruses they are creating and/or modifying in a lab will be released into the wild. These researchers are risking the lives of millions with their franken-virus research - which is why it was halted by the Obama administration years ago. The engineering/modification of dangerous viruses should be completely banned with extremely harsh criminal penalties for anyone violating this ban. The fact that we are still letting these so-called scientists gamble with the lives of millions after Covid is an extremely withering indictment on our society.
- chubs 4y agoI was not aware that Obama halted GoF research; thanks for informing us. Not generally a huge fan of his, but credit where it's due in this instance, this is great! It's a tragedy the ban seems to have been rescinded.
