What's the purpose of this? It will just give ammo to anti-science Trump like people.

It's harmful. This kind of stuff should be handled as quietly as possible, and definitely not in public.

Science is already under attack, we need not undermine it from the inside too.

Scientists need to consider the political impact of their findings. If it will only be used to bring harm in the world it's irresponsible to share it.

No, it doesn't.

It will only fuel anti-science sentiment all over the world and put scientists under scrutiny and attacks.

We need more science, not more science attacks.

It will also vindicate Trump like anti-scientists just when we need more science to tackle climate change, inequality, gender gap, and yes, search for viruses with pandemic risk due to human encroachment on wild life so we can be ready for them.

Any sort of lab leak confirmation will basically destroy the science of virology just when we need it most.

Just look at what Fukushima did to nuclear energy acceptance. Now more people die of coal burning radioactivity than ever died because of nuclear energy one. Do we really want to do the same with virology and molecular engineering, which are life saving sciences?
