Long video but worth the time. Does a great job addressing all the lab leak talking points directly, both the science and the social media hype

Interesting fact - the creator of the Swiss cheese 🧀 model himself (James Reason) wrote an entire report on how it has its use, but application has been a bit overenthusiastic, missing inherent complexities in systems. But it can be useful for simpler communication about incidents!
The SCM does not provide a detailed accident model or a detailed theory of how the multitude of functions and entities in a complex socio-technical system interact and depend on each other. That does not detract from its value as a means of communication, but may limit is [sic] use in analysis and as a support for proactive measurements. On the other hand, the SCM was never developed to be a detailed model in this sense, and it is therefore hardly justified to criticise it for that. Indeed, as most of the criticisms fail to distinguish among the three primary uses of the SCM, they may be accusing it for failing to achieve something it never intended.

Starting something new at the intersection of scientific publishing, lobbying/funding influence, and how misinformation flows. Especially where it meets AI/ML/NLP Follow if that sounds like your kind of weird
