As a consequence of their successful lobbying and jockeying for power, they got what they wanted – their research was heavily funded, their labs staffed, and the enhancement of potentially pandemic pathogens proliferated without requiring so much as the background check the same scientists demand for a handgun.

The Covid catastrophe did immense damage to medical care, much of it the result of gross mismanagement at the highest levels of the industry.
