No. But it's not necessarily right either.

Turning the sonofabitch loose on a unsuspecting populace is a hell of a "derp" thing don't you think?
They make nuclear bombs too....doesn't mean they pop one off occasionally for the fugg of it.

Where do you draw the line between studying bio-hazards and purposely creating them?
"Gain of function" research. You know?

I heard a Boyle interview and then bought the book. He points out that with changes in bio-technology the line between offensive and defensive bioweapons research got erased, which renders all international treaties on bioweapons completely worthless. He provides a good sense of the history and the direction of this research.. the bottom line is almost inevitable... BIG TROUBLE

More biners!!!
Great find, Stig. That is exactly what I thought of when Jim commented about
Another good example of how f'd up things are...over 2,000 nukes tested.

Are you two implying that they had to release the Covid to see if it was going to work?
Like testing a nuke?
That's ridiculous....really guys.

After re-reading it looks like Jerry and I are referring to the nuke link..I know I am. If Covid was lab made I think it just got loose due to dumb mofo's...DMFs. Are there people evil/stupid/F'd up enough to release it on purpose...oh, yeah.

I hope they didn’t but I wouldn’t be surprised. It was made in China, just a matter of time before chit went sideways.

But Jim, they do, at least, when they can get away with it. There is an excellent non-fiction book called "The Firecracker Boys" by Dan O"Neill. Alaska, 1950's. The nuclear scientists were planning to nuke the Arctic with 6 of the biggest bombs they could create. Just for the fun of it. We are lucky it never happened, although it took 10 years to make them stop. In the meantime their nuclear storage facility in the Arctic leaked and the caribou, along with the natives, and the plants and rivers are still suffering from it. It is really a good book, but chilling. And now I believe any "accidents" can and do happen with research.

How many "accidental" nuclear explosions have there been?
Yes, they lost a couple at various times....but how many gone off by accident?
Like....accidentally letting lose a killer virus? One that has killed more people than all the nukes ever been touched off??

You didn"t write anything about accidental.
You wrote "for the fugg of it"
I posted that video to show that sometimes you are full of shit.
No other reason.
Sure the US lost nukes.
Like the 4 they lost off the coast of Spain
U.S. accidentally drops hydrogen bombs in Spain | January 17, 1966 | HISTORY
On January 17, 1966, a B‑52 bomber collides with a KC‑135 jet tanker over Spain’s Mediterranean coast, dropping three 70‑kiloton hydrogen bombs near the town of Palomares and one in the sea. It was not the first or last accident involving American nuclear bombs. As a means of maintaining...

Or the one they lost in Greenland.

Pure luck none of them exploded.
