"controversial"

Controversial for what? The lab should be backed, and has been backed, and was funded by many governments around the world. Funding should be tripled so we can find these viruses before they become pandemics (the reason for their research).

Sure, right after they keep all operations transparent and data public.

Did you read the full article? They give a detailed explanation of why the project is controversial.

You might agree, you might disagree, you might want to sit on either side of the controversy, but the article substantiates quite well the usage of the adjective "controversial" in the title.

It is. You can view their research papers and their data online. They sequenced SARS-CoV-2 even, I believe.

This kind of research seems to be a rather normal and reasonable thing to do.

That being said, I have two issues with this article:

- it makes the Wuhan lab story sound credible, while it is just another conspiracy theory

- it paints Dr. Fauci in a bad light by linking him to that lab and the theory

The factually true info is the kind of research and the fact that it was cofunded by the Fauci org. Everything else is just spin.

Can I watch some CCTV footage? See the background and qualifications and assignments of every worker there? Get a spreadsheet of the budgeting?

In order to help the fight against the pandemic, it would be best if the general public was not aware of certain information.

Yeah, we will survive, while our enemy will die. Moreover, if we will supply our enemy with false information, it will work even better.
