Wow, even the Congress is not shared details about Fauci's research.

What is the purpose of this gain of function "research" in the first place?

If R win the Senate, look forward to some serious inquiries here. Our servants do not have any right to withhold information from our elected representatives. People will likely go to prison for this if the truth ever comes out about this massive conspiracy.

Money, power, control. That's what Fauci's red chinese cohorts cooked up with him. This has done our nation enormous damage. I still see people driving around alone all masked up. This paranoia will last some people forever.

The US govt. has been pretty open about performing gain-of-function research in the past. The idea is to explore the possible weaponizations of various pathogens in an effort to create countermeasures, such as vaccines and medications. This was mostly in regard to battlefield pathogens.

There were some recent high-profile accidents at US biolabs which lead the US govt. to move some of that research overseas, which IMO, was a bad idea.

In any case, this research has been going on for decades. 60 Minutes reported on it in the 1980s.

Except for the details. As if government is good about transparency.

You prefer we're caught completely blind when another nation sends something bad here? (this is not a veiled covid reference - it's just a question).


There is no other way but to do the research. And there is no way to do that research except in secret. Ya just want it all out there on the internet?

Why would another country release a virus? We saw just how uncontrollable viruses are!

Viruses are a long way from being weaponized!

I don't know -- a whole lot of contradicting statements.

Black Op Biowarfare programs are often kept highly classified, even from the prying eyes of Congress.

Hubris goes a long way to explain human behavior. There's also the classic trope of making everyone indiscriminately affected by something, of which only you and your group have the antidote for. Not making any claims here.
