Given that millions of people likely died as a result of dangerous GoF research, I cannot fathom why the world is simply letting this pass without raising an eyebrow.

The older I get, the more realistic Kafka's novels seem to me...
yes, this looks like straight-up gain-of-function research in bat coronaviruses. Creating new recombinant viruses with potentially greater pathogenicity, and doing this under BSL-2 conditions which are not at all strict. And the Journal of Virology published it, unsurprising given their record

Asking scientists with knowledge about airborne dangers on Bluesky to comment on an alarming GoF study in BSL-2 labs... is immediately labeled as "spam". 🤷‍♂️
Recently there was published again Chinese GoF coronavirus research with inadequate biosafety measures (all under BSL-2)

Can someone take a look and react?

A new 🇨🇳 gain of function study created chimeric coronaviruses that can infect human cells and kill mice (up to 100% mortality).

🚩"The viral infection [and all animal] experiments were performed in a BSL-2 laboratory"(!)🤦‍♂️

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Why would failing to mention the FCS to BSEG exonerate Baric?
How can you be so naive?

Baric discussed the FCS with virologists just days after the BSEG presentation, indicating any “miss” was at most temporary or not a miss at all.

“This question of the relation of ventilation to the risks of infection conveyed directly through the air from person to person is, to my mind, probably the most important one in connection with the whole subject which we are discussing.”

John Scott Haldane, 1904.
Also not mentioned in Airborne by @carlzimmer.com is John Scott Haldane (1860–1936), the great Scottish physicist. He pioneered systematic CO₂ monitoring in public buildings and cannot be dismissed as a miasmist.👇

Humans have no organ to detect high CO2-levels, unlike some animals which had evolutionary benefits from such an ability. Our ancestors lived mostly outside, so there wasn't any need for this. Yet nowadays, the lack of an inbuilt detection mechanism causes inefficient behaviour.
