all things considered, a virus escaped from a lab conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses could have been — maybe should have been? — far deadlier. a hard lesson, but if we learn from covid it might actually spare us 10 or 100x as many lives in the future.

lol @ the have-it-both-ways conspiracy theorizing. we simultaneously have "a super dangerous lab leak" and also "it wasn't that bad". Grow up, leave Science to the Scientists
pandemic was bad. we should learn from this in an effort to mitigate future potentially much-worse disaster scenarios. reboot your twitter brain, this isn't controversial.
