Why we should welcome the lab leak hypothesis – UnHerd

And that s why we should hope that Covid-19 was caused by human error. As terrible as the implications of that are millions dead, incalculable suffering and loss; all caused by scientific misjudgement at least it tells us how to make ourselves safer going forward: we should stop doing the thing that creates that danger. If, on the other hand, Covid-19 is Mother Nature s handiwork, then logically we are condemned to a sequence of pandemics; some natural, others accidental, some better and others far more deadly. Not a happy scenario by any stretch.
