A congressional committee member questioned a USAID representative about whether the agency funded gain-of-function research, presenting a 2015 paper co-authored by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Dr. Barrick, funded by USAID's PREDICT program through EcoHealth Alliance, as evidence. The paper described creating a novel virus by combining the SARS virus backbone with an s protein from another virus. The committee member cited expert opinions stating this research created a novel virus that grows well in human cells and poses a new risk to humanity. He also mentioned the 2018 DIFUSE project, presented to DARPA and attended by USAID, which proposed creating a coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. He requested the name of the USAID attendee to understand why this project wasn't revealed to the public, especially after COVID-19 emerged. The USAID representative stated the agency had not authorized gain-of-function research and would look into the specific claims and the DARPA meeting. She acknowledged the importance of understanding the past to prevent future risks and assured cooperation with the committee.

Concerning research from China was published last week. Researchers took a virus from pangolins and cultured it in a lab. They then infected mice with this virus, which killed all of them through brain infection. These mice were transgenic, meaning they had human ACE receptor genes. The virus, a coronavirus from pangolins, killed all the infected mice. This kind of experimentation is dangerous and should be banned immediately.

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.

American scientists lied to DARPA in order to secure funding for high-risk coronavirus research in Wuhan, China, according to documents obtained by US Right to Know. The scientists concealed their intentions and claimed the research was being done in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, due to national security concerns and lax safety measures at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The documents raise doubts about the scientists' credibility and their claims that the pandemic could not have originated from their collaboration. The proposal involved engineering coronaviruses with spike proteins and furin cleavage sites, similar to SARS-CoV-2. The experiments were planned to occur in Wuhan with fewer safety precautions to save costs. This revelation is considered a smoking gun in the lab leak controversy.

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 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.

A US health official working for Dr. Fauci expressed safety concerns about a lab in Wuhan, China, six years ago. The lab was planning to reverse engineer the Ebola virus, but the official was ordered to delete any mention of Ebola in her report. The lab, which is believed by some to be the source of COVID-19, was visited by the official just before it opened. During the tour, a technician at the lab mentioned the illegal importation of Ebola for study. The official expressed shock and worry about the potential consequences if this information became public. Two days later, she was instructed to delete her comment.

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.

They planned to create a virus in Southern China to infect humans, possibly adding a furin cleavage site. DARPA considered funding it but had safety concerns. Despite claiming to work in safe labs in North Carolina, they discussed using lower safety level labs for cost efficiency and speed.

Scientists are reportedly combining viral and bacterial genetic material, creating something that wouldn't happen in nature. This could lead to the creation of superbugs. While some people might survive due to a resilient microbiome, many could die from these experiments. The justification for these experiments is to see what happens in case it occurs in nature later. However, the experiments are creating the very scenario they are trying to prepare for. The speaker argues that some scientific endeavors, like reproducing a dinosaur, should not be pursued because of potential catastrophic consequences like the dinosaur killing humanity. There is a need for better supervision of scientists and their labs.

During the early stages of the pandemic, a group of virologists were consulted by the NIH. Some believed that the virus could not have occurred naturally, while others thought it was a 50/50 chance between a lab or natural origin. However, only one narrative was publicly discussed. Later, a paper titled "Proximal Origins of the SARS CoV-two Virus" was released, claiming that the virus was natural. This paper referenced a 2014 article about a 2020 outbreak, which seemed odd considering the years in between. Additionally, a grant proposal called the "diffuse grant proposal" was discovered, stating that experiments were being conducted to test the infectivity of similar viruses and even insert a furin cleavage site, which is present in the virus causing the pandemic. These findings raise concerns about the origins of the virus.

The leaked DEFUSE proposal from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and their American partners reveals their risky research on the parts of COVID-19 that make it highly infectious to humans. Scientists believe this proposal provides a step-by-step guide to creating SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The proposal's specificity in constructing a virus with all the key hallmarks of SARS-CoV-2 is seen as more than just a coincidence. Researchers, including Shizeng Li and Ben Hu, who is considered a potential patient zero, were involved in this research. Hu's work on genetically engineering coronaviruses from bats and his early COVID-like symptoms further support the possibility of him being patient zero.

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.

Chinese researchers have created a super virus by combining a protein from bats with the SARS virus found in mice. This virus could potentially infect humans, although it is currently only being studied in laboratories. The debate over the risks of this research is not new, with some scientists arguing that the benefits outweigh the potential dangers. However, others are concerned about the possibility of the virus directly infecting humans without an intermediate species. The US government had previously suspended funding for research aiming to make viruses more contagious, but this did not stop the Chinese research on SARS. Some experts believe the chances of the virus spreading to humans are minimal compared to the potential benefits, while others disagree.

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.

In 2015, the National Library of Medicine published a study by 15 virologists and medical experts warning that SARS-like bat coronaviruses pose a potential threat to humans. The scientists, with decades of experience in studying coronaviruses, examined how SARS and MERS transmitted among humans. They modified a strain of coronavirus from Chinese horseshoe bats using gain of function technology and injected it into mice spinal cords. This study not only highlights the dangers of coronaviruses in bats but also demonstrates efforts to amplify the virus's contagion ability to better understand and prepare for future outbreaks.

New evidence suggests that Dr. Anthony Fauci may have been involved in bringing a coronavirus strain to the US before the pandemic. Documents reveal that in 2018, Fauci's team visited the Wuhan lab, obtained a virus, and transported it to a lab in America. They also took Egyptian fruit bats from a Maryland zoo to Montana and combined them with the coronavirus. Despite this, Fauci acted surprised when the virus started spreading. The White Coat Waste Project claims that Fauci has a history of experimenting on animals and warns that funding for more bat labs is being allocated from COVID relief funds. The nominee for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports gain of function experiments and funding for labs in China and other unaccountable nations. The focus should be on exposing these labs and holding those responsible accountable.

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.

Bill Gates funds research to find viruses in remote caves and bring them to cities, which some scientists criticize as unnecessary and dangerous. By manipulating these viruses in labs, new, potentially more harmful viruses are created. Despite good intentions, Gates' funding may have inadvertently contributed to the creation of dangerous viruses, posing a significant threat to mankind.

"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."

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.

Vaccinating birds with a leaky vaccine, one that doesn't provide sterilizing immunity, turns the flocks into mutation factories, teaching the organism how to mutate. This destabilizes the organism and makes it more likely to jump to animals. The speaker claims that all agency heads from NIH, CDC, and FDA advised against bird vaccination because it is dangerous for human beings.

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.

An investigation into the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under Dr. Anthony Fauci's leadership reveals potentially unlawful actions. In 2018, the NIH infected 12 bats with a SARS-like virus called WIV one at a Montana lab. The virus was obtained from the Wuhan lab suspected to be the source of COVID-19. The experiment aimed to determine if the virus would cause infection in bats, but the research found limited evidence of replication. US taxpayer money was used for these experiments, with at least 7 US entities providing NIH grant money to labs in China. The investigation was brought to light by the White Coat Waste Project, which aims to stop funding dangerous animal experiments. They are now using the Freedom of Information Act to request more details.

Project Veritas says it has obtained never-before-seen military documents about the origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research, vaccines, potential treatments, and government concealment. Fauci testified the US government was never involved in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Major Murphy’s report claims EcoHealth Alliance approached DARPA in March 2018 to fund gain-of-function research on bat-borne coronaviruses. DARPA rejected the proposal as too dangerous and potentially violative of the gain-of-function moratorium. Documents allegedly show NIH/NIAID did not reject it and continued research at Wuhan and elsewhere. Fauci has maintained NIH/NIAID were not involved. Murphy’s report cites concerns about the gain-of-function program, concealment of documents, and suppression of potential curatives like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and the mRNA vaccines. Veritas sought comment from DARPA; questions remain about how and why risks were disregarded and who buried the report that could have prevented the pandemic.
