Re-reading what was going on in real-time, in 2019 - 2020, makes me question whether "experts" in microbiology opining today on this whole issue even remember what was happening then. It's easy now to ignore "facts" and opine politically.
This is a very, very important book to have in one's "Covid library."
Apollo's Arrow: wiki.

[He could have included other risks: loss of free speech; loss of rights to own guns; loss of right to privacy and on and on and on.]This may be one of the most interesting of the lot. Told by a great story-teller. No index. Will have to find out for myself his thoughts on Fauci and gain-of-function.
