Excerpt: Imagine you’re the Chinese government, and you’ve secretly been doing all kinds of research on viruses that are arguably dual-use — meaning what is learned in the research could be used for noble and benevolent purposes, or weaponized for malevolent purposes — including gain-of-function research, which can “enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility of potential pandemic pathogens.” (In fact, we know that in past experiments, the Wuhan Institute of Virology “generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse adapted SARS-CoV backbone.”)
