Define trustworthy.
What kind of trust did you place in them that was now broken?
I at the very least believe they would not desire to expose themselves and their loved ones to pathogens.
If the origin was a leak, then, sure, we should see if any biosecurity protocol was broken and why, and design better protocols. But posturing that the researchers were not "trustworthy" is not helpful.
You call them untrustworthy and dangerous people and by that you are implying malice. Why? And what makes you believe outside of that small circle there aren't people far more malicious?
If creating diseases becomes so easy anyone can do it, we will see the age of biological ransomware. I am certain there are people far more malicious and far more immoral than any of the researchers who worked on this.

- alexvoda 4y agoIt is the key word on which your argument rests and you used it in every comment in this thread. Since you decline, I believe it is useless to continue the discussion.
- brigandish 4y agoI'm glad we were able to come to an agreement.
