In 2021, Fauci denied funding gain of function research in Wuhan, China, but the definition was changed after Tabak's statement. The NIH website altered the definition to only include research capable of creating a pandemic pathogen. Fauci initially denied any involvement, but the definition was changed later. This semantic play raises questions about the truthfulness of their statements.

Gain of function research funded by the NIH in a lab in Wuhan is under scrutiny. Senator Rand Paul accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of funding the lab, which was initially criticized by the media. However, the NIH now admits to funding risky research in Wuhan. The theory that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak gains traction as evidence suggests it came from the lab, not animals. Lab leaks have happened before, and the FBI and Department of Energy support the lab leak theory. Gain of function research involves making viruses stronger, but its effectiveness in creating vaccines is questionable. The media's lack of curiosity about the origins of COVID-19 is concerning. The NIH continues to fund gain of function research, posing a potential risk to humanity.

The U.S. funded risky coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which involved creating new viruses. Intelligence agencies are investigating whether a virus leak from this lab caused the global pandemic. Anthony Fauci, the top medical adviser to the president, did not mention gain of function research during the pandemic's onset, leaving others to uncover its significance. Gain of function research increases the transmissibility or virulence of pathogens, and despite a U.S. ban in 2014, funding continued to flow to China. Fauci oversaw the NIH when the ban was lifted in 2017. Additionally, NIH funds supported research by Chinese military scientists to genetically manipulate coronaviruses, involving both the Wuhan lab and two American institutions. The Wuhan lab is still authorized for funding, with 26 other labs listed on the NIH's website.

Research on potential pandemic pathogens, known as gain of function studies, has led to valuable public health insights. Previous NSABB reports support this. While I won't argue for the necessity of this research, there are many freely available studies showing how mutations identified through these studies have helped us prepare for epidemics and pandemics.

The discussion centers on gain-of-function (GoF) research, its regulation, and the motivations behind it. The first speaker notes the administration’s goal to end GoF research and asks where that stands. The second speaker says progress has been made, and the White House is working on a formal policy. He then defines the issue in stages: what GoF research is, why someone would do it, and how to regulate it to prevent dangerous projects that could catastrophically harm human populations. He clarifies that GoF research is not inherently bad, but dangerous GoF research is. He gives an insulin example: creating bacteria to produce insulin is a legitimate GoF that benefits diabetics. In contrast, taking a virus from bat caves, bringing it to a lab in a densely populated city with weak biosafety, and manipulating it to be more transmissible among humans is a dangerous GoF that should not be supported. The administration’s policy aims to prevent such dangerous work entirely, and the President signed an executive order in April or May endorsing this policy. Next, he discusses implementation: how to create incentives to ensure this research does not recur. He explains that the utopian idea behind such research was to prevent all pandemics by collecting viruses from wild places, testing their potential to infect humans by increasing their pathogenicity, and then preparing countermeasures in advance (vaccines, antivirals) and stockpiling them, even though those countermeasures would not have been tested against humans yet. If a virus did leap to humans, the foreseen countermeasures might prove ineffective because evolution is unpredictable. This “triage” approach—identifying pathogens most likely to leap and preemptively preparing against them—was the rationale for dangerous GoF work, a rationale he characterizes as flawed. He notes that many scientists considered this an effort to do bioweapons research under the guise of safety and defense. The work is dual-use. The U.S. is a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention and does not conduct offensive bio-weapons research, but other countries might. The discussion highlights that the GoF research discussed during the pandemic can backfire and may not align with true biodefense, since countermeasures might not match whatever pathogen actually emerges. The speaker concludes that this agenda—pursuing GoF to prevent pandemics—has drawn substantial support from parts of the Western world and other countries for about two and a half decades, but he implies it is not deserving of continuation.

Gain of function research, which involves making viruses deadlier or more infectious, has sparked controversy amid debates about the origin of the coronavirus pandemic. The research aims to predict and prepare for future pandemics, but it has not yet resulted in any preemptive vaccines or prevented any pandemics. The methods used include genetically modifying pathogens and conducting experiments on animals. Concerns arise from the potential for accidents and the risk of manmade viruses falling into the wrong hands. The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been at the center of scrutiny, with allegations of inadequate safety protocols. The debate highlights the need for international investigation and community involvement in determining the risks and benefits of high-risk research.

Gain-of-function research involves making a virus more pathogenic, virulent, and deadly, then developing a vaccine for it. The rationale for this research is to develop bioweapons and defenses against them. Anthony Fauci received a 68% raise from the military due to new military responsibilities related to this research.

Gain of function research involves making a wild virus more deadly and developing a vaccine for it. Anthony Fauci received a raise for his involvement in this research. In 2014, three deadly bugs escaped from different labs in the US, leading 300 scientists to urge President Obama to shut down Fauci's gain of function research. Although Obama issued a moratorium, Fauci moved the research offshore to avoid oversight. Some projects were moved to Ukraine, Georgia, and a Chinese lab run by the military.

The speakers discuss whether the NIH funded gain of function research and its potential role in the pandemic. There is a heated exchange between a senator and a speaker who denies responsibility for any deaths. The possibility of Dr. Fauci lying under oath is raised, and it is suggested that American tax dollars funded the research. The Luban Institute is mentioned as conducting gain of function research. Dr. Redfield expresses concern that the virus may have been engineered. Gain of function research is defined as increasing a pathogen's transmissibility or pathogenicity. It is concluded that gain of function research did not stop the pandemic, but rather caused it.

The speaker states that gain-of-function research, which aims to make pathogens more virulent and transmissible, is believed by many scientists to be responsible for the COVID pandemic. They claim this research doesn't protect against pandemics or other nations, but risks accidental leaks that could cause a pandemic. According to the speaker, any nation engaging in this research endangers its population and the world. They say the proclamation will not affect most science, but will address the fraction of research that risks causing a pandemic. The executive order establishes a framework to ensure the public has a say and can reject such risks, preventing scientists alone from making these decisions. The speaker expresses pride in President Trump for signing the order to end this research and establish a regulatory framework to eliminate it.

NIH did fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through ECHO Health, depending on how you define gain of function research. If you refer to the broader term, then yes, it was funded. This type of research occurs in many labs across the country and is not regulated because it does not pose any threat or harm.

The speaker discusses the development of vaccines and raises concerns about a specific type of research called gain-of-function. They suggest that this research involves making viruses more dangerous and could potentially be used to create bio weapons. They mention that Anthony Fauci, a prominent figure in the field, received a raise for his involvement in this research. In 2014, three dangerous viruses escaped from labs in the US, leading 300 scientists to urge President Obama to shut down Fauci's gain-of-function research. Although a moratorium was issued, the research was moved offshore, including to a Chinese lab in Wuhan.

In 2014, a gain of function moratorium was implemented in the US due to lab accidents. Despite this, gain of function research continued in China with funding from Dr. Fauci. The NIH lifted the moratorium in 2017 without proper consultation. There are concerns that US-funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have led to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Ebright believes that lapses in oversight of this research could have caused the pandemic and may lead to future ones.

The speaker discusses gain-of-function research, claiming that the purpose of taking a wild virus and making it more pathogenic is to develop a vaccine for those enhanced viruses, and that the real rationale is to develop bioweapons and then a defense to those bioweapons. They assert that Anthony Fauci received a 68% raise by the military because of these new military responsibilities and continued the work through 2014. The speaker states that in 2014 three of the bugs escaped in high-profile incidents from three different U.S. labs, describing these as really deadly bugs that escaped or were found in unsafe circumstances. They claim that 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama asking him to shut down Fauci’s gain-of-function research, arguing that it was highly likely to start a global pandemic with this dangerous research. According to the speaker, Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of Fauci’s worst projects, but ultimately did not fully shut them down. Instead, the research was moved offshore to avoid White House scrutiny and the Cambridge Working Group, a group of scientists, as well as other officials. The speaker alleges that the major offshore location for this research included a Chinese lab run by the Chinese military, specifically naming the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, as part of the moved research, with other work relocated to Ukraine and the former Soviet state of Georgia.

Evolution is random, but when a virus evolves naturally, it's through random mutation. However, when a virus is created in a lab, it's not random but man-made. Creating a virus in the lab to discover what could happen in nature is unlikely to result in a vaccine that helps. This controversy started in 2010 with the avian flu, which is deadly but not very contagious. A scientist in the Netherlands aerosolized it, causing a debate on whether the knowledge should be published due to potential misuse. Anthony Fauci supported publishing the knowledge, despite the risks. Government funding of gain of function research, which involves making viruses more dangerous, continued despite a pause from 2014 to '16. The culpability extends beyond Fauci to the government.

I believe that it is possible that scientific research sponsored in part by the NIH but also lots of other entities including the Chinese government may have been the cause of the pandemic. There's a lot of people who just have fights over this. But I will say is that the kinds of biological exercises people did in order to try to prevent a pandemic, go find viruses in weird bat caves, bring them into city centers, and then augment their capacity to infect humans, The reason why they did that was I think they were arguing that we needed to do that in order to prepare just in case a pandemic happens. But think no matter what you believe about whether the cause of the pandemic was this kind of research, I think everyone can agree that that kind of research is potentially very dangerous.

"So I believe that it is possible that scientific research sponsored in part by the NIH but also lots of other entities including the Chinese government may have been the cause of the pandemic." "the kinds of biological exercises people did in order to try to prevent a pandemic, go find viruses in weird bat caves, bring them into city centers, and then augment their capacity to infect humans," "The reason why they did that was I think they were arguing that we needed to do that in order to prepare just in case a pandemic happens." "But think no matter what you believe about whether the cause of the pandemic was this kind of research, I think everyone can agree that that kind of research is potentially very dangerous."

If COVID-19 originated from risky experiments at the Wuhan lab, it's important to note that the lab received funding from America. During a congressional hearing, Senator Paul questioned Dr. Fauci about the NIH's funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan, to which Fauci denied lying. However, a scientific paper from 2012 written by Fauci supports the benefits of gain-of-function research despite the risk of a pandemic. The decision to lift the ban on gain-of-function research during the Trump administration remains unclear. Former President Trump mentioned that Fauci did not inform him about the Wuhan Institute of Virology's activities, and emails later revealed Fauci's discussions about the possibility of genetic manipulation. Trump stopped the payments to the Chinese lab upon discovering them. Despite the controversy, Trump believes his administration did a great job with the vaccine and Operation Warp Speed.

Project Veritas has obtained military documents revealing information about the origins of COVID-19, gain of function research, vaccines, and potential treatments. These documents contradict Dr. Anthony Fauci's claims that the US government was not involved in gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The documents include a report from DARPA, a US Department of Defense agency, which states that EcoHealth Alliance approached DARPA in 2018 seeking funding for dangerous gain of function research. DARPA rejected the proposal, but the NIAID, under Dr. Fauci's direction, proceeded with the research in Wuhan and other US sites. The question arises as to why the NIH, NIAID, and EcoHealth Alliance disregarded the risks when even the Department of Defense deemed the research too dangerous.

Scientists can learn how to teach the flu virus how to infect human tissue, and some are already doing this. The scientific community isn't trying to cause a pandemic, but they are arrogant about their ability to contain a respiratory pathogen. COVID evolved from scientific experiments in a laboratory that was trying to do good things, like make a vaccine vector, but it escaped, and over 20,000,000 people died. Nature will continue to try to change, but the species barrier for amino acids is pretty high. Some scientists believe gain of function research is needed to protect humanity against emerging pathogens, but they don't consider the fact that they may be emerging them like with COVID.

The executive order provides tools to enforce the ban on federal funding for gain of function research abroad. Gain of function research is a type of biomedical research where pathogens are adulterated to make them more potent or to change the way that they function. Many people believe gain of function research was one of the key causes of the COVID pandemic. The order also strengthens oversight mechanisms and creates a strategy to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely to protect human health. Some people believe that if this had been done earlier, the COVID-19 pandemic may have been avoided.

NIH funded research at Wuhan Institute of Virology through ECHO Health, including gain of function research. This type of research is common in labs nationwide and is not regulated because it is deemed harmless.

The speakers claim gain of function research creates dangerous viruses to develop protections against them. They allege that in 2015, a London meeting identified the Wuhan lab as likely to have problems with this research, and that Anthony Fauci was a major supporter of gain of function research for 30 years. One speaker claims gain of function research takes a wild virus and makes it more pathogenic, virulent, and deadly to develop a vaccine, suggesting the rationale is to develop bioweapons and defenses. They allege Fauci received a 68% raise from the military for these responsibilities. They claim that after three lab escapes in 2014, 300 scientists asked President Obama to shut down Fauci's gain of function research, warning it could start a global pandemic. Obama issued a moratorium, but instead of shutting down the research, it was allegedly moved offshore to places like Ukraine, Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is run by the Chinese military.

Gain of function research involves creating dangerous viruses to develop protections against them, but it is inherently risky. In 2015, a meeting in London identified the Wuhan lab as most likely to have problems with this research. Anthony Fauci was allegedly a major supporter of gain of function research for 30 years. Gain of function research involves making viruses more pathogenic and deadly, purportedly to develop vaccines, but it could also be for bioweapons and defenses. Fauci allegedly received a raise for new military responsibilities related to this. In 2014, deadly bugs escaped from multiple US labs, prompting 300 scientists to petition President Obama to halt Fauci's research, warning it could cause a pandemic. Obama issued a moratorium, shutting down some projects, but allegedly moved the research offshore to avoid oversight, including to labs in Ukraine, Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, run by the Chinese military.

I will end all gain of function research. I will sign a treaty to end gain of function research and get all nations to agree. It's a disaster that's given us no benefits, only diseases like Lyme, COVID, and RSV, which is now killing children. There's evidence that even Spanish Flu came from vaccine research. Medical and vaccine research has created some of the worst plagues in our history. Anyone who reads "The River" will be convinced that HIV came from a vaccine program. There's very little evidence that gain of function has given us any benefits, and it's given us horrible catastrophes. The risks simply aren't worth it. I will try to end it globally and reinstate the Geneva Convention and the biological weapons charter that we signed in 1973, and make it verifiable.
