Even if it was accidentally leaked? That's extreme. I work with transgenic, not viruses, but mistakes happen and the death penalty for researchers is crazy.

- tastyfreeze 3y agoYes, for the coverup. If it was a lab leak, we had the director of NIAID covering it up on national news. That is the kind of thing the people demand blood for.
- akira2501 3y agoThere was a specific legal ban on this type of research, yet, the researchers continued anyways. It may have been "an accident," but that really doesn't afford them any excuse.
- kylebenzle 3y agoWe do this research everyday. Mutating a virus is not illegal, why do you even say that.
- infamouscow 3y agoThe death penalty is a merciful punishment for going out of one's way to circumvent research bans that would have completely prevented a leak in the first place.
- 3seashells 3y agoShould we tolerate a culture of accidents and face preserving around nukes, grey goo (which this falls under?) there are things you only get to fail once..
