Gain-of-Function Genetic Research: Full Throttle By Brian Simpson

I have an article below on how back in 2016, US Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper produced the Annual Worldwide Threat Assessment Report, where gene editing, what we now call gain-of-function research, could be a potential weapon of mass destruction. We, in the public, came to know the terminology of gain-of-function research by the Covid-19 fiasco, where, as is now held by the majority of Western authorities both health and security, that the Covid virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of virology. Nothing has been done as nations quiver in fear of the seemingly invincible might of communist China compared to the woke West. But, be that as it may, the leading financial site, Forbes.com, reports that gain-of-function research is occurring on much more dangerous viruses than the Covid virus. There is not much of the Forbes article assessible, as most of it is behind a paywall, but the point can be made that it is no longer contrary to the mainstream to assert this, that the Covid virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and this can happen again with something truly lethal. And, there is something of a bioweapons’ arms race going on, as communist China has no intention of holding back on any weapon that will aid in its quest for world domination.

“The evidence is becoming ever more clear that the Covid-19 virus leaked out of China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. This pandemic horror is focusing attention on gain-of-function research, whereby scientists study ways to makes viruses more infectious and more deadly.

Whatever rationales proponents come up with for this kind of activity—Dr. Anthony Fauci has long been a powerful supporter—enhancing viruses in such ways is a mortal threat to humanity. Accidents are inevitable, yet gain-of-function research is growing with little effective oversight.

This segment of What’s Ahead calls for immediate measures, domestically and internationally, to deal with this devastating threat.”
