In 2012, Dr. Anthony Fauci argued for the benefits of gain-of-function research, despite potential risks to public health.
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin and Erasmus University Medical Centre engineered H1N5 avian influenza (bird flu) to pass between mammals, with Dr. Fauci’s support.
The biotechnology field was largely unregulated in the US, guided only by voluntary arrangements. And it’s not only bird flu that has been engineered using gain-of-function. The covid virus was also made in a laboratory.
A couple of weeks ago, a second attempt to bamboozle the public into believing the covid virus came from an animal source was launched. A study led by Kristian Andersen suggested covid came from the Wuhan Wet Market. Andersen was also involved in the now discredited early attempts to dismiss the lab leak theory while also applying for an $8.9 million grant from NIH awaiting approval on Dr. Fauci’s desk.
Currently, there’s a “debate” in New Zealand about biotechnology deregulation, with a one-sided portrayal in corporate media. Conveniently, New Zealand’s corporate media yet again spreading misinformation about the origins of covid, based on Anderson’s study, creates the wrong impressions about the safety of biotechnology deregulation.
