Surrounding material
Full context
Before the quotation
The reply appears directly beneath Wang's personal-capacity thread, which endorses the risk concern but argues that Wang can reduce risks from inside a lab.
After the quotation
Elmore follows her demand to quit with a personal condemnation of Wang and a statement that she should be jailed. Record this as Elmore's rhetoric, not as evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
