Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio.
This is: How well did EA-funded biorisk organisations do on Covid?, published by John G. Halstead on the effective altruism forum.
EA funders have funded various organisations working on biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, including:
John Hopkins Center for Health Security
Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security
Center for International Security and Cooperation Biosecurity Initiative
Nuclear Threat Initiative
Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense
It seems to be widely accepted that many mainstream institutions got important things about COVID wrong, such as masks, travel bans, and lockdowns. Have there been any reviews of how these and other EA-funded things performed on COVID-related matters, with the benefit of hindsight?
