Yes, they have. No matter how this turns out, the reality is that NIH funding of gain of function research (in this country as well as in China) was dangerous and based upon very thin scientific rationalization. Further, that China essentially 'locked' their own citizens in Wuhan, but allowed foreign travel is AT BEST gross negligence and irresponsibility. AT BEST. A more nefarious explanation is certainly possible.
Exactly true !
By allowing ".. foreign travel is AT BEST gross negligence and irresponsibility " sounds intentionally purposeful.
Qui bono ?
