That’s because it’s a mechanical device owned by a single large international company.
You can’t “engineer away” a virus.
The airplane analogy only makes sense of you say the result of investigation is to apply international sanctions against countries who continue to manufacture unsafe aircraft and fly them domestically…
…but, you have a) arguably no business telling them what to do in their own country and b) how are you even going to know, since those aircraft never visit your country?
Ie. yeah, great concept, but it’s so disparate from what we’re actually talking about it’s meaningless in this context.
It won’t fix things, or make things better knowing where it came from.
If the virus is caused by risky research, you can stop doing risky research.
>arguably no business telling them what to do in their own country
Aren't there international standards for dealing with viruses? Also, some of the research in the Wuhan lab was funded by the US. So the US did have business telling them what to do in some cases regardless of international standards.
The genie is out of that bottle - the research has been done, and can be replicated by less honest actors. Under these circumstances, continuing this kind of research to understand how to combat viruses created by rouge actors might be the right thing to do.

The only wins will be ideological.
