Lab Safety
The WIV has a documented issue with poor safety practices.
- Vanity Fair and ProPublica downloaded more than 500 documents from the WIV website, including party branch dispatches from 2017 to the present. To assess Reid’s interpretation, we sent key documents to experts on CCP communications. They told us that the WIV dispatches did indeed signal that the institute faced an acute safety emergency in November 2019; that officials at the highest levels of the Chinese government weighed in; and that urgent action was taken in an effort to address ongoing safety issues. The documents do not make clear who was responsible for the crisis, which laboratory it affected specifically or what the exact nature of the biosafety emergency was. https://www.propublica.org/article/senate-report-covid-19-origin-wuhan-lab

- Because multiple reputable sources have disagreed with the content and interpretations of this report. We don't report things that are reported as true from one place, and then probably not true from dozens of other places. That is the long and short of WP:RSUW. Basically, we have a good consensus on-wiki that this report is not a reliable source. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 16:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Which sources disagreed with the content and interpretations of this report? Are there really "dozens" of other sources that disagree with this? DarrellWinkler (talk) 17:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
