Lab safety is important of course. Let's not forget there's little to no evidence where covid came from and it doesn't matter at this point. We still have to deal with it. The people who are fixated on China in the US for racist and other reasons (like Trump et al) are also trying to deflect blame from poor us virus responses. The evidence of China being responsible is in the same category as my pillow guy's claims about secret evidence of the 2020 election being stolen - it's just a distracting game for dolts.
