Interesting to consider whether distrust started with individual governments’ responses to Covid or with distrust towards international bodies. From my research, China had strong initial trust in its reaction in 2020. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/covidocra...

Wildlife trade acts as a vast global network of unregulated natural laboratories,with ample opportunities for viruses to circulate & evolve to become more dangerous

We can either turn a blind eye or try to understand & mitigate the risks

Live-animal markets are a natural laboratory for viruses to evolve and spark deadly outbreaks, yet scientists lack support to study the risks they pose.

The Covid ‘lab leak’ theory isn’t just a rightwing conspiracy – pretending that’s the case is bad for science | Jane Qiu

While figures like Steve Bannon have exploited the issue, scientists have done themselves no favours by shutting down legitimate inquiry, says award-winning science writer Jane Qiu

Otroligt spännande och relevanta val av vinnare för Right Livelihood-priserna i år. Jag gjorde en lång intervju med Audrey Tang i Taiwan förra året. Få personer är mer insiktsfulla om det pågående informationskriget, om diktaturer och demokratier.
