Mr Copper,
I have always been guarded about the presence, or even the need for these labs. They seem to offer the opportunity for all types of malevolent people, or entities ( dark ops , governments, and even pharmaceutical companies ) to raise havoc on mankind, or to create a problem, with a “ supposed “ solution already in hand. When one ponders some of the side stories to this present onslaught of covid, it sure makes a sane person take pause. It sure seems apparent to me these labs genetically modify these natural viruses, for what ends I don’t know, but off the top of my head I can think of more bad reasons, than good ones. All of the a fore mentioned issues are plenty, but you still have to include system, and safety failures!
