Dr. Harvey Risch in conversation with Dr. Alex Washburne. Dr. Washburne is a mathematical biologist who received his Ph.D. from Princeton University’s program for Quantitative and Computational Biology. Prior to COVID, he worked with a DARPA PREEMPT team studying pathogen spillover of bat henipaviruses, the evolutionary origins of Ebola, and methods for bioattribution or determining the sources of novel infectious diseases. During COVID, he was heavily involved with outbreak forecasting and management consulting, before finally returning to the question of attribution and the origins of SARS-CoV-2.
Today, we talk about AI and whether it may ever have an objective and useful function, as well as about the bioweapons origin of the COVID-19 virus and the coverup of its lab origin. And, why aren’t people more generally outraged that tens of millions of people died because some scientists thought it would be fun or useful (to their careers) to develop dangerous viruses that had no beneficial results for society and only potential harm?
