EXCLUSIVE: 'This is playing with fire - it could spark a lab-generated pandemic': Experts slam Boston lab where scientists have created a new deadly Omicron strain with an 80% kill rate in mice
"Boston University's tularemia problems have popped the balloon of bloated and distorted safety claims about the biodefense program," says Sunshine Project Director Edward Hammond, "CDC secrecy about biological weapons accidents will shake remaining confidence in laboratory safety not only in Boston; but nationwide.
By rejecting disclosure, CDC is signaling intent to continue with the status quo of indifference, underreporting and secrecy. The solution is to reign in the sprawling and palpably dangerous biodefense program and to mandate reporting and prompt public disclosure of laboratory accidents.

I think all their funding should be cutoff and their labs shutdown until a full investigation is done. If one of these virus leak their lab, everyone involved deserves to be hunted down like rabid dogs. I guess the first go around of killing wasn’t good enough for these evil people.

You know how supposedly they (the evil elite) have to SHOW us what they are doing before they do it.
All this time we are going after the wrong people.

This is a great illustration of human stupidity-even with the benefits of hindsight,people just love repeating mistakes,or attempting to make even worse mistakes.
Its also a great example of people who believe they are "intelligent" just because they think they are an expert in one narrow field.
In this case the field is science/virology.
An expert scientist/virologist can still excel at being completely stupid in other areas.
Everyone knows its wise to attempt to learn from history-but that is rarely put into practice.

Why?
What is the purpose of these 'experiments' or whatever they were/are?
How are they beneficial to mankind?
Some things are simply best left unknown.
Insanity.
