Gain-of-Function Research on Bird Flu Could Spark ‘Great Pandemic’
#3
An excellent exploration of this topic.

There are numerous researchers who knew - over a decade ago - that research resources were being recklessly funneled into genetic manipulations of virulent diseases... all with the ostensible purpose of 'better understanding' of the "next pandemic."  

That "next pandemic" is the perennial boogeyman of a class of leadership... the thing most frequently asserted to invoke "more attention, more funding. and more "leeway from established ethics...  second only to "do it for our children."
 

“The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Dr. Fauci said at a Senate hearing on May 11, 2021.
Dr. Collins said in a statement on May 19, 2023, that “neither NIH nor NIAID have ever approved any grant that would have supported ‘gain-of-function’ research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.”


The above statements together, are the starkest demonstration just how insulated and isolated our politically-appointed "leaders" are.  That they can, through the power of magical thinking, overstep caution in the name of "profit" and "politics" with impunity and even 'applause,' shows exactly how we ended up where we are.

They were "warned" repeatedly, they were cautioned continuously, but their "objectives" to secure money, and dole it out according to their incomprehensible whim - shows definitively that there is a problem in the oversight and control of their offices.  They seemed not to be working for the benefit of 'the people'... only 'some people.'

It never occurred to them that developing strategies and data to combat disease is distinctly different from creating "new" diseases.  That they had stopped working to assist mankind in coping with the maladies of viral outbreaks, and focused on 'creating' "novel" outbreaks.  They didn't care for a cure or treatment... what they spent money on was 'new patentable' diseases.
 

“While many believe that gain-of-function research is critical to get ahead of viruses by developing vaccines, in this case, I believe it was the exact opposite, unleashing a new virus on the world without any means of stopping it and resulting in the deaths of millions of people,” he said.


... and what is the function of the government in all of this?....
 

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing for a scenario in which the bird flu starts to spread among humans.


Preparing? - which means burning through tax payer dollars for "the next" instance of "novel", came-out-"nowhere" viral outbreak... really?  Perhaps planning for the next lock-down, 'warp-speed' mandatory deployment of experimental "vaccines," and "social warfare on dissenters."
