NIH Lifts Funding Pause on Gain-of-Function Research
Today [December 19, 2017], the National Institutes of Health announced that it is lifting a funding pause dating back to October 2014 on gain-of-function (GOF) experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. […]
This framework formalizes robust oversight for federally funded research with enhanced pathogens of pandemic potential. […]
We have a responsibility to ensure that research with infectious agents is conducted responsibly, and that we consider the potential biosafety and biosecurity risks associated with such research. I am confident that the thoughtful review process laid out by the HHS P3CO Framework will help to facilitate the safe, secure, and responsible conduct of this type of research in a manner that maximizes the benefits to public health.

NIH admits US funded gain-of-function in Wuhan — despite Fauci’s denials
The National Institutes of Health has stunningly admitted to funding gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan lab — despite Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly insisting to Congress that no such thing happened.
In a letter to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) on Wednesday, a top NIH official blamed EcoHealth Alliance — the New York City-based nonprofit that has funneled US funds to the Wuhan lab — for not being transparent about the work it was doing.
Francis Collins, NIH Director, Resigns After Gain-of-Function Falsehood Exposed
Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced his resignation on Tuesday, just weeks after documents exposed that he made “untruthful” comments about U.S. federal funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Attention irony:
Also the virus was NOT man made or genetically modified. It came from a wet market right next to the biosafety level 4 Wuhan Institute of Virology, which researches corona viruses. Everything else is CONSPIRACY. PROOF 👇️
Irony mode off.
