Ebright is not a chemist. He's a professor of chemistry and chemical biology. The lab is not level 4. It's a level 3, which is much less safe. Level 4 would have better safeguards. Level 3 is wholly inadequate. Gain of function research was banned in the US during the Obama regime. The ban was circumvented anyway, and then lifted in 2017. The Daily Mail is maintaining its tradition for badly botched reporting.
