Can the virologists get any more brain dead than this? Virologists are still doing the same kind of research on viruses as what may have led to the current pandemic that has killed over 15 million people at <1% fatality. Some of the viruses being worked on have >30% fatality.
If virologists managed to make MERs or Nipah as human to human transmissible as SARS2 (which if you listen to them is important for “science”) and a construct like this leaked into the human population to start a pandemic— it would absolutely be civilization ending.
How on earth is humanity allowing a collective of people who include individuals that are so downright stupid they say bringing infected animals into a lab, who then infected lab workers, who then infected the community, isn’t a “lab leak.”? This level of deflection is madness.
And Isabella isn’t the only virologist who appears to insanely not understand. Fauci made similar claims. The entire enterprise is running off the rails just to avoid an accountability or acknowledgment of how dangerous the work they do is for humanity.
@scotub Worse than that, I see many saying, "we should not worry about a lab leak because it never caused a pandemic before". This is so brain dead that I can't put in words.
@OdysseyBohemian @scotub And it isn't even true. The 1977 influenza pandemic emerged from a laboratory freezer.
@R_H_Ebright @OdysseyBohemian @scotub it emerged from a 'laboratory freezer' after it was removed, defrosted and used to experimentally immunise people Richard.
