Not sure why anyone with a ”best mind” would go on to work with an organisation that was (is?) actively spreading disinformation about COVID-19.

Not sure if this a good idea considering the chance that experimenters might take this info and make even worse bugs with it.

Great idea, maybe experiment with these pathogens in a lab? I'm sure China would offer its assistance.
