This is more like if gain of function researchers gave a virus they were going to put in their tacos at the taco stand to another set of researchers to see if it was going to be dangerous. Better than to just release the virus in the first place.
But the tests read like that other set of researchers just gave the virus to another taco stand and watched to see if everyone died. They didn’t so “whew the virus is safe”. Seems incredibly dangerous.
