"Fauci, ... has been a strong advocate for U.S. government funding of #gainoffunction experimentation. Fauci claims, ...that risky #GOF can help develop new vaccines for pandemics, ...organicconsumers.org/blog/covid-19-…

"despite the fact that 30 years of these dangerous experiments have not delivered any tangible benefits, such as cures or safe vaccines."

"Unbeknownst to the public, a shadowy international network of thousands of virologists, gene engineers, military scientists and biotech entrepreneurs are #weaponizing #viruses and microorganisms in civilian and military labs under the euphemism of #gainoffunction research.

They hide behind the guise of #biodefense” and “#biomedicine.” But as investigative reporter and bioweapons expert #SamHusseini writes, GOF/biowarfare scientists in labs such as #Wuhan, China or #FortDetrick, Maryland, are deliberately and recklessly evading #internationallaw.

"Not surprisingly both #Fauci and #Daszak have been staunch defenders of the official Chinese government story that the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) “naturally” evolved from bats and/or other host species to infect humans."

"Clearly the Trump administration, just like the Obama administration and those before it, isn’t going to do the right thing, and ban dangerous gain-of-function experiments unless we the people force them to.

It’s time for a #permanentban on the lab creation of deadly viruses."

"But #Daszak and his collaborators at the Wuhan Institute of Virology weren’t just studying how coronavirus spread from bats to humans, they were actually #making #coronavirus capable of #spreading from #batstohumans. "

"They were the first to create a bat coronavirus capable of directly #infecting #humans (rather than first needing to evolve in an intermediate animal host).

"In 2015, Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature magazine that researchers had created a novel virus that “grows remarkably well” in #humancells. “If the virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory.”"

"But #Daszak spoke out in favor of the research, saying the study’s findings “move this virus from a candidate emerging pathogen to a clear and present danger.”

"#Daszak’s statement is odd, as it seems obvious that it was the research itself that made the virus a clear and present danger, and that couldn’t be what he meant."

"We need a total U.S. and #globalban on dangerous #gainoffunction experimentation, and we need it now, before the #nextpandemic escapes or is deliberately released."
