If the research that supposedly protects us from zoonotic spillovers is in fact increasing the net pandemic risk (due to human error, accident, etc), then that research needs to be halted. At the very least, it should be limited and done only under tightly controlled conditions. This would require international agreement, and perhaps an auditing regime with actual teeth.
One thing is for sure though: we will never sort this out if we leave it to the WHO, and to certain researchers who have a personal/financial stake in preserving the status quo.“
The institution like china, lancet, the virologist community ... is what worry me more. Accident happened. But if this is nuclear accident ... but it seems we can let Soviet Union covered up the investigation to the nuclear plant accident because it is funded by America.
Without fixing the institution all is lost.
And it seemed instead of fixing it the America would let the technology that grounded the other “dangerous” way of making vaccines to everyone without ip protection. Commerical interest whilst is not the best way to protect is still an alternative to this scientific community that seems not able to. At least sine did not.
Government, public institutions, medical, scientific, commercial, social, media ... what is left.
Good luck humanity.
