Another brilliant article. Gift “with the pen” being a too full of analogy of what follows.
From a non- scientist point of view, it’s easiest to see, there is a flaw and a bias in this beautifully passionately argument. The flaw is that the perfectly balanced virology oversight system can be constructed and maintained forever - I.e. Apple will forever be Apple - and the bias is that virology itself - biolabs - are an absolute necessity. We’ve arrived, we’ve reached a point in scientific understanding where a biolab is now and permanently one of the elements in a tool of existential evil, and is the only point where that existential evil stands a chance of being thwarted and permanently so. The knowledge and pathogens must be destroyed to the extent they can be, the overseers peopled by those of integrity to the extent they can be, but it is the labs themselves that must go. Absolutely. It is an inescapable logic, and of all people, decent people, this must be the most difficult of all, dark realities to accept. But you of all, Mr. Wain-Hobson, sir, are one of the ones of the mindset, goodness and authority that can and must rise to be a leader in this existential, abolitionist cause. Sooner the better. Recruit others like yourself.
