Suppose there was a disease outbreak in the vicinity of a US biolab. What would be your opinion? Correct, you would suspect that it might be a leak from the lab.

Your opinion is therefore that the Chinese labs are run in an infinitely more competent way than US ones, based on what?

I realised that WMD was a lie and went on all the antiwar demos, but also consider that a lab leak is eminently plausible.

We cannot let our assessment of the facts be influenced by bad actors who might use them for their own ends, or the inconvenience of the facts r.e. possible unscientific backlash.

We must forgive the scientists involved unconditionally (if a lab leak becomes the most likely explanation) and work to find ways of making virus research safer.

This is a test, if we cannot do this then there is no future.
