The Chinese can impose their own consequences, I'm not opposed to it.

However, this is serious stuff, if accountability must be off the table we aren't ready as a civilization to mess with it. NIH did this under a "enhanced oversight" regime, the overseers need to be removed to start.

The Chinese will not punish Wuhan workers any more than Russia punished Sverdlovsk anthrax workers. And since you're not going to stop virology research by halting American capital, you're proposing a net-zero solution for America and a propaganda victory for the CCP.

How can you assert that Covid v2 would be "stopped" by withholding American capital? Coronavirus isn't American IP, and even if it was, you won't use that to force accountability.
