"health labs" doing a lot of work in this headline. The WHO says they want to prevent "accidental or deliberate release of pathogens." If the pathogens can be intentionally released and cause harm, in what sense are they not bioweapons?
So, it is a bioweapons lab?
Of course, not -- it's just a health lab that happens to produce bioweapons -- two totally different things.
Or alternatively ban all bio research including vaccine development because potentially they can be used as weapons?
Historically this led to a pretty crazy couple of years and we’re still seeing a lot of disruption from it.
It’s not good for the US to be funding bioweapon research within hostile countries or on the border of hostile countries.
