I don't feel the dangers of nuclear war are even close to the dangers of genetically modified viruses.
Two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and affected hundreds of thousands of people—but the COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone on the planet.
I see no benefit from gain-of-function research and am pushing very hard for strong guardrails to be placed on it. While I think banning it altogether will not be achieved, I believe there is always a nonlethal substitute for most experiments. I watch with envy the political capital around things like climate change, where the public is 100 percent engaged and pushing their government to take action. I believe this type of virus research will become a cliff event for us in the next couple of decades unless we take action—I just wish the public would be as concerned about this sort of research being done in a proper fashion.
In my opinion, if this type of research continues we will see a virus worse than COVID-19 in our lifetime. If we don't change anything, I believe it's only a matter of time.
