Given that epidemiology features no biology whatsoever, being these days purely a matter of playing with statistics, why would you feel qualified to discuss anything related to labs, leaks, or GoF research?
I read dozens of epidemiological papers during COVID - the ones controlling policy - and didn't see microbiology feature in any of them. They were all just various forms of curve fitting. Where are these epidemiology papers that are built on a firm foundation of microbiology?
