It seems to me that most publicly-funded US virologists working on zoonotic disease have an inherent conflict of interest on #COVID19 origins. It is that if you speak out "wrongly", your cash & career may be over. A terrible situation created by sci-tribalism & funding systems.
Indeed. It is disingenous to continue to make thinly disguised arguments for #gainoffunction research with misleading, fictional claims of past #GOF benefit. Nobody in #publichealth needed Ron and Yoshi and their risky, pointless experiments to know #H5N1 might jump species.

Indeed, the notion that virologists possess all the relevant skills, experience, and perspective to regulate themselves is plainly incorrect. Just look at the wild risks some of them are willing to take.

Hey @berlinmd, instead of blowing public safety $$$ on cameras so the cops spy on Atlantic Hotel guests and the rest of town, why not get an air quality monitor? I seem to have the only one in town, but it's a cheap consumer model. Why not a good one? #berlinmd#WorcesterCounty
