Given that epidemiology features no biology whatsoever, being these days purely a matter of playing with statistics, why would you feel qualified to discuss anything related to labs, leaks, or GoF research?
- Fomite 2y agoBoth because I hold a microbiology degree as well, and also because that's not actually how epidemiology works either.
