Remember: in 2024, the @WHO downgraded the biosafety level for propagative work with SARS-CoV-2 from BSL-3 to BSL-2. Previous (2021): Updated (2024): Obviously, this downgrade leads to more lab-acquired infections.

Ralph Baric to Peter Daszak, EcoHealth Alliance:."I have no doubt that they. did the work under bsl2. You believe this was appropriate containment if you want but don't expect me to believe it. Don't insult my intelligence by trying to feed me this load of BS.".#OriginOfCovid.
