The Importance of Considering a Lab-Based Scenario

Two Dutch scientists argued strongly that it was a mistake to even consider this possibility. One of the reasons they gave was because it might open a Pandora's box of speculating about the origin of other pandemics, including Ebola.

Ralph Barrick in North Carolina seems to have stayed well clear of this whole process.
