On the Possibility that the
New Coronavirus was Concocted in a Lab
On the Possibility that the
New Coronavirus was Concocted in a Lab
There is genetic evidence
suggestive of human tinkering in the genome, and there are news stories
suggesting the virus might have been developed either at the Wuhan Institute of
Virology or at the American virology lab at Fort Detrick. There are even some suggestions
that the American and Chinese bioweapons labs may be working together, sharing
samples and exchanging funding.
We rely on the scientific
community as a context for almost every public policy decision. People who want
to influence policy know this, and they don’t just lobby Congress, they also
buy scientists, scientific reporting, and placement in prominent journals. Most
scientists are honest, but they have to survive in a world where funding is
tighter than it should be. It’s not surprising that some of them succumb and
publish what powerful and corrupt institutions want them to.
The question of a laboratory
origin for COVID is politically explosive, so we expect a heavy hand
restraining the science establishment. Those of us seeking an honest answer,
who have a little expertise, a little horse sense, and a lot of patience, are
left to sift through information, misinformation, and disinformation in a
politicized environment.
