And another thing . . .

Regarding my tula-rula-remia post, I should add that although the U.S. is a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention, the current administration opposes a protocol which would actually make it enforceable, by adding verification and inspection provisions -- which would apply, presumably, to such facilities as the Level 4 biosafety lab in Boston.

The other countries which oppose the protocol? China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Cuba, and Iran. People are free to draw their own conclusions. I already have.
