Fairytales about lab leaks won't absolve us of our abject failure to deal with this novel pathogen, nor will they help us prepare for the next.

Refusal to investigate whether this is the biggest disaster in scientific history is odd.

If dangerous research killed 15 million people we need to know.

Even if it did and we do know, do you honestly think it would stop rather than be moved to secret bio weapons research facilities?

Yes, because the type of research that would have led to covid-19 was public health research, not weapons research. Gain-of-function research is done to help learn about pandemics so we can prevent them.
