So you're not interested in knowing whether it was a leak, or if it was, whether it was accidental, and you're not at all interested in making bio labs more secure (which one might be, if one knew it was a lab leak!)?!

So... no need to improve, just let it keep happening?

And you don't think there's any interest in the science behind making a custom virus, or spreading it?

OK, fine, you're not interested. Ah, but:

> so scientists are not curious to find out how they did it, if they did

All scientists? Most? A significant number of them?

Are you saying no one should be curious about this, or just that you aren't?

> It's a politically interesting question though.

Ah, so do investigate? I can't tell what you meant.
