This, from the US Department of State, may be interesting. It seems to be an archive, though. I don't know if it's been updated. https://2017-2021.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan... But, I'm just a

You sound like you've decided long ago. But, when 6M+ people die of a virus that happened to originate near a sloppily-run virology lab with lead scientists making $30,000 who just happen to be researching gain-of-function on the same

Just wanted to say you’re not alone. I’ve felt like you for 30 some years. Somehow, I just keep going on. I have told myself endless times “just wait one more week”. That’s the only strategy that has worked. Luckily, often enough, I’ll have

Not sure an argument needs to be made? I googled 3 of your 5 statements and they didn't appear true. Plus, you don't seem to take future breakthroughs into account. Technology progresses exponentially.
