Can we prevent a volcano erupting? No. Can we prevent a lab leak? Yes. I wonder why people are soooo resistant to this idea and make up a myriad bad arguments.

Because we get annoyed when people insinuate that pointing out features of reality are evidence of a conspiratorial cabal.

Can we prevent a lab leak? Not really insofar as humans are less than perfect individuals.

Pretending we hadn't discovered atomic fission would have been just as dangerous as ignoring biological threats.
