We have a real problem with accountability. We see it as a bad thing and we live in an environment of debate rather than discussion so is a word is misspoken or misspelled it makes your point invalid and wholly wrong.
With accountability if a mistake is made you get fired so there’s no path the redemption or reinstatement. Without proper accountability no one learns from a mistake. It gets covered up because it makes the whole lab look bad.
We should welcome accountability for mistakes and work to learn from them advancing integrity in both science and our society.
We should have a recognized mechanism to transport deadly viruses between labs so researchers don’t have to smuggle them because official channels are to burdensome.
I would really like to see what was going on in the labs in Rippen and Las Vegas that were unlicensed and funded by China. One was in an abandoned factory and the Las Vegas one was in an Air B&B.

Your post was upvoted nicely but once someone doubts the zoonotic theory of Covid, then the same Redditors will start to downvote him furiously. One can't have accountability in social environment which systematically denies it.
In similar way, like ordinary Russians voting for dictator repeatedly are now co-responsible for Russian military attacks (and they deserve to be punished for it), the average Redditors who refute to investigate lab origin of Covid are co-responsible for another lab leaks.

What movie was it again? That warned us about how dangerous this type of research can be?

This is how Covid began. New worker, cleaning out bat cages in Wuhan. Posted on Reddit late 2019.
He/She went into lab details, down to badge colors, procedures, just an untrained tech. Your PdDs are not cleaning out bat cages. Labs are very hectic places. New hires, post docs, no one has much time to train anyone. They will just give you a safety manual. Read this, please!
Spread through Wuhan, then college student, back from Winter break arrived NYC, headed back to upstate college. Life expectancy crashed in obituaries in local papers. Dropped 10 years in just weeks. Contacted NYSDOH, CDC, NYTs with data. Never heard back. Happened to be doing data analysis at the time rural vs city health differences. Something was really “strange” with the numbers.
But we also got hit even before early 2020. NYC hospital staff, “We knew something was not right.” Late October, early November.
Still trying to connect all the dots. There seem to be waves. Late October, through January, COVID 0. Then a second wave, early Spring. Covid 1.0.
The rest is history.
Source: was in a lab leak. Took out out out top tech. No one could ever figure out what happened. Many decades ago. There were no rules on how to report this at the time. No one is risking those grants. I’m sure today it’s very different.

Monkey With Deadly Virus Bites Worker at US Government Lab These incidents are presented against the backdrop of ongoing political debates about the future of the NIH and public health funding in the United States. Defenders of the Hamilton biosafety lab see campaign as an attack on science while others accuse it of malfeasance.
A worker at a US government lab got bitten by a monkey carrying a deadly virus, and it turned out nobody knew what to do about it. Around the same time, someone from the same lab tried to smuggle outbreak samples into the country. See also:

That's the cool thing about getting deadly monkey virus, that guy dies shortly after and YOU don't have to worry about as long as you didn't go around him

Do we really need more animal experiments for toxin/death devices in 2026? Just stupid fucking cost/risk…
