Thank you very much @antonioregalado for thinking I was worthy of a profile in @techreview for my work on #OriginsOfCovid
And @rowanjacobsen and @BostonMagazine who thought so back in June 2020.

@antonioregalado @techreview @rowanjacobsen @BostonMagazine This question from @antonioregalado is worth thinking about for people on both sides of the issue.
"I asked Chan how she would feel if the virus did prove to have emerged naturally..."
How would people (especially scientists) feel if the virus proves to have come from a lab?

@antonioregalado @techreview @rowanjacobsen @BostonMagazine I said “I have days where I think this could be natural. And if it’s natural, then I’ve done a terrible thing because I’ve put a lot of scientists in a very dangerous spot by saying that they could be the source of an accident that resulted in millions of people dying.”
@antonioregalado @techreview @rowanjacobsen @BostonMagazine But, if Covid-19 came from a lab, I think it would be much much worse to be one of the people dismissing it prematurely.
The pandemic has taken close to 4 million lives (an undercount). If a future pandemic comes from a lab, we could expect similar numbers.
