Rather the ones we thought were "conspiracy theories" (over the past few years at least) most of them turned out to be true. It might be really unpopular to say it here but the Biden admin really fucked up on this one big time. I presume most people, from all parts of the political spectrum, are not willing to go through another round of pandemic induced lockdowns, deaths of friends and family members, hospitalizations etc just because some careless mad scientists unleashed a lethal virus on the entire human population "by mistake". There is no excuse for this. Majority of us (99%) do not have any level of expertise to gauge if this sort of Research is beneficial to humanity or not. We can only go by "belief" that those experts who are overseeing this get it right. That "belief" has been shaken big time post 2020. All the flip-flops by Fauci and Co has only contributed to denting the image of this part of the scientific community. And to restart it again, when we still have no conclusive evidence of what actually happened in the previous pandemic (I believe it is Wuhan lab that was responsible but my belief has no weight unless it is actually verified) we should not be restarting any such research. Also such research must not be the purview of one single country or few countries (US/China). Permission must be sought from all member nations of UN before any such research is carried out as it has potential to wipe out humanity.
