Why is not the question. It’s why not. The answer is a lack of ethics. That tends to be rooted in nihilism and casual post modernism. I write casual because these scientists are not schooled in either. They are so focused on “the science” that they have neglected a basic education, exploration and understanding of things greater than man; namely God.
They see the virus as a ‘building block’, like an Erector Set or Tinker Toy.
Their goal id a Nobel Prize.
The consequences be damned..........................
