Why the Wuhan lab leak theory shouldn't be dismissed
Lab 257 is an amazing book about germ research labs. It fascinated me both with how hard it is to contain diseases under ideal conditions (lab 257 was on an island miles from anything inhabited) and how poor of a job people who should have known better, the actual virologists and people with MDs, did at containing diseases they were researching.https://www.amazon.com/Lab-257-Disturbing-Governments-Labora...
Warning: this book is non-fiction and is scary.
⬐ asturaThat book is a work of fiction. The summary on Amazon itself is incredibly laughable (Plum island is not "unmarked on most maps").⬐ ceejayoz> Warning: this book is non-fiction and is scary.It may be scary, but it's not non-fiction.

> A discredited 2004 book entitled Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory fueled the conspiracy theories. Archived specimens show that Lyme disease was endemic well before the establishment of Plum Island laboratory. Additionally, Lyme disease was never a topic of research at Plum Island, according to the US Department of Homeland Security and Department of Agriculture.
