Sometimes we at LSS will riff on an interesting article, or perhaps combine it for you with two or three others. But sometimes an original article is so clear, so well written and thought provoking that we simply reproduce it with our strongest possible urge for you ro read it.
Such is the case with this Nature piece, which we reproduce the full article. The lab leak hypothesis is very live at the moment. Its potential to disrupt geopolitical relationships is very high indeed. The article is thoughtful , considered and does not jump to conclusions. Virtues we could all imitate.
