I remember that the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was a lab accident, procedure failed and a lot of bovine were culled and some people died in truly horific ways.
I don't understand why it's so political to say that it's likely that covid may have had a similar start. It happens, it's terrible, it's not helpful when you're directly fighting it to focus your energy on blame but if this was a lab leak, shouldn't we now be focused on tightening regulations on bio-experimentaion in order to reduce the risk of this occurring again? Global treaties on how to approach such research, share procedure to keep everyone safe.
Just wanted to say I'm loving these posts, thanks for writing them
