Maybe I'm too cynical, but that's what I got from it. The video way overstates the ease of DIY viral research and understates how tightly regulated it already is.

    Huh? How am I "completely incorrect about Ebola"? It seems consensus that it spreads through direct contact. Is that not true?

    Ebola then spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact

    If you're arguing the Reston "ebolavirus" (which is not synonymous with "Ebola" as we know it, just as COVID-19 is a specific member of a large group of 'coronavirus') is more transmissive because it can be airborne, and if it was pathogenic to humans it'd be very dangerous. Then, like, we are saying the same thing.
