Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, Washington, DC, says, “After all the deaths and suffering from the pandemic, the world deserves to know the origins of covid-19 with a greater sense of certainty. But that will never happen.”
We’re too late in the game to obtain new scientific information,” says Richard Ebright, director of the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
Lab leak could just be research based. That specific institute was doing research on coronaviruses because they had been identified as a potential risk jumping to humans, which is where the gain of function debate comes from. Allow the virus to mutate to a point that it can infect humans (humanised mice), then develop preventative measures / study it.
I’m going to be nice here, but apparently you are 4 years behind on Republicans in Congress attacking Fauci, and Trump’s anti science crowd threatening him with death.
“Day in Court”. Are you fucking with us?
Because when I think of public health leadership, Alabama lawyers? Na.
I want to add that I was terrified of getting covid when all this started. Even back then before all the research I understood that even a minor infection could screw up your lungs for life. I mostly worried about this because I do martial arts like everyone else here. My friend was under 30 and she developed long covid. She actually had to change jobs because it screwed her up so bad.
Reading through this entire thread @W.Rabbit is one of the most intelligent posters this site has ever had. Also what the fuck did @PDA post that was so bad it had to be removed?
The source of that (3 year old, anti COVID vaccine) meme is…irony.
Cocaine, heroin, and tobacco were pushed by business interests, not science. Science was actually the solution to those problems. Medical experts, as well as disinformation experts like yours truly, who can spot “Lying with Statistics” types.
And DDT? Still used to save millions in poor countries every year. I doubt whoever made that shit post anti science meme even knows what DDT stands for.
And this is why people who aren’t scientists should keep to their day jobs, and avoid becoming one of the “I do ma own reserch!” assclowns like @PDA, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and RFK Jr.
