Because some equate a hypothesis related to the WIV with racism?
- bpodgursky 4y agoIf WIV was the source, it's very plausible that NIH-funded GoF research (and implicitly the existing field of virology) was the cause of the pandemic. There's been a lot of wagon-circling in the virology community at the implication that they caused instead of preventing a global pandemic.
