Even if the lab leak hypothesis for Covid is false and it was a completely natural event*, the fact is that there are many, many labs doing ill-advised and dangerous research with much-abused or nearly-nonexistent safety protocols.
Covid might not have emerged from a lab. No one truly knows. But it’s very possible it did, and that the next pandemic might as well.
*”Natural” in the context of us disrupting ecosystems and destroying habitat on a vast scale.
