When federal and city officials obtained a search warrant and gained full access to the building a few months later (though why it took them so long is not clear) they found almost a thousand laboratory mice, some of which were dead and all of which, according to one of the lab workers present, were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Samples and vials were labelled as containing hepatitis, HIV, malaria and tuberculosis, among other pathogens. But that means that more than 20 million people died – a thousand times more than the worst previous industrial accident in history, the Bhopal chemical leak in 1984 – and the preferred stance charged with stopping such deaths is to shrug and say “we may never know how.” Nobody takes this approach to the crash of an airliner, the explosion of an oil rig or the mysterious deaths of Russian defectors.
