They knew from the beginning. In fact, it was evident that the research was a corroboration between the US and China. Likely involving the "agencies" as it is unlikely that funding from American government agencies, like the NIH could have been under the radar. Even if it was under the radar it means there were officials breaching regulations. Where are they and why are there no prosecutions or talks of it. This is indeed a deep tragedy in the lives of global citizens rivaled only by the "response to a pandemic." Both instances have resulted in devastating consequences the extent of which can not be comprehended. To define this as evil would be to understate it. God have mercy.

This is completely a case of parishioners and mid-level scribes believing that the Chief Priests are pure and beyond sin while they fellowshipped with those worshipping other gods. One of the many costs of science as a religion and certain scientists as High Priests. It should have been seen from a thousand miles away. Anyone with clarity now asks what in the world were they thinking. Everything human beings do beyond natural processes is based on faith. This has always happened in human history and it will continue to happen. The significant difference is the scale and scope. I shudder to imagine the next time , but there will be a next time and it probably won't be something in a test tube.
