“These viruses exist in nature whether we admit it or not. If we don’t study [them], there will possibly be another outbreak” Hear! Hear! https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-05-25/CGTN-Exclusive-The-story-of-COVID-19-told-by-a-Wuhan-lab-expert-QMsRNq9Bde/index.html … via @cgtnofficial
Great to see Zhengli in China right now, talking about her work. What happened to conspiracy theory that she defected to France w/ intelligence files? Here's Fox News spreading that on by saying she denies it. Preposterous indeed!https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinas-bat-woman-shi-zhengli-denies-defecting …
That makes no sense. Viruses will from time to time jump species to humans whether or not you study them. Gain of function research introduces possibly catastrophic risk in the event of a lapse in lab safety (which happens with troubling regularity).
Study even more?! All sorts of viruses & hosts collected from remote locations, transferred to a lab, passaged & mutated & recombined for infectivity, cell cultures & transgenic animals! Only blind scientism could drive this enactment of a wild bat cave theme park inside a city!
Is there really any 'remote' territory for human beings nowadays?
1/3 I completely agree. These viruses are part of nature, as we were. If they would have been so dangerous, we could not have evolved eating wildlife and using caves as shelter. This worked as long as we had a healthy immune system and a society in balance with nature.
2/3 We need to work on this point, bringing humanity again in balance with nature. I see only a danger in manipulation of these viruses in order to produce a vaccine that we might never use, because these viruses mutate quickly.
3/3 The risk that an experiment gone wrong might cause a pandemic is just too high.
