The scale of the alleged wrongdoing related to COVID-19 research is so massive that it's difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, akin to historical atrocities like Stalin's Gulags or the Nazi Holocaust. This difficulty in grasping the enormity leads people to look away. The speaker asserts that this is precisely what happened and that the justification for gain-of-function research—making viruses more infectious and deadly—is a euphemism for bioweapons research. The argument that such research is necessary to develop countermeasures against potential future threats from other nations is deemed implausible, drawing parallels to nuclear weapons proliferation. The final sentence underscores the danger of creating and potentially losing control of superbugs through this research.
Impact: High. By comparing the pandemic's origins to historical atrocities, the speaker amplifies the perceived severity and moral failing, aiming to shock the audience into recognizing the gravity of the situation.
