"Ebright has stated that the genome and properties of SARS-CoV-2 provide no basis to conclude the virus was engineered as a bioweapon,[51][52] but he also has stated that the possibility that the virus entered humans through a laboratory accident cannot be dismissed[53][54][55][56][57] and has called for a thorough investigation of the origin of the pandemic and for measures to reduce the risk of future pandemics.["
Dr. Ebright is on record as objecting to the the creation of BSL-4 labs...they exist, so others obviously disagree with him...he is grinding his axe. Again, he is not claiming that China's Wuhan Lab "Did Anything to Us"...both he and Dr. Fauci agree that an accident at WIV could have happened...btw, accidents have happened at U.S. labs...it is, indeed, risky business...but the threats from new pathogens have been deemed serious enough to warrant such risk taking...by many successive Congressional reviews.
Right now, you've got the 'renowned' anti-Dr. Fauci Sen. Rand Paul, Dr, Ebright...and yourself...very nearly foaming at the mouth with eyes blazing in an attempt to besmirch Dr. Fauci...all because they wish that Congress didn't approve BSL-4 labs working on ways to defeat future pathogens....and perhaps because Donald Trump is 'super-pissed' at the man who Americans rightly turned to for guidance in dealing with a disease that Trump called "A Democratic Party Hoax"...a month after Dr. Fauci got a vaccine (Moderna's mRNA-1273) started in Phase 1 trials, and just 2 days after getting the gnome structure from China.
You are so...so....wrong when it comes to Dr. Fauci...but you have shown yourself to be impenetrable to arguments containing truthful data, so carry on...I just want other observers to see what's really going on.
