good NYT article but at the end we get this equivation:
"We may not know exactly how the Covid pandemic started, but if research activities were involved, that would mean two out of the last four or five pandemics were caused by our own scientific mishaps. Let’s not make a third."
I for one am sorely disappointed in our scientists who willfully, purposefully, knowingly, lied about the origins. As for the Chinese , no surprise there.
