On top of all the other evidence against the whole "THOSE DARK-SKINNED FUNNY-SPEAKING FOREIGNERS ENGINEERED IT" line of BS pushed most notably by Rand Paul at the behest of Donald Trump, there was an international pause on "Gain of Function" research and a moratorium on funding at the time in question.
Just a FYI, I wasn't talking about Senator Nutso's comments. I was talking about the study I previously referenced that was done before the 'agreement' and pause in funding.
The article I cited today makes specific reference to that type of study. Scientists do not consider that type of research to be "Gain of Function."
Rand Paul and other right-wingers have repeatedly tried to spin it as "Gain of Function" research by Chinese government stooges to further their political ends.
Don't swallow the spin. Follow the science.
Not swallowing anything, just waiting for China to provide the data the world has been waiting for since Feb., 2020. Again, not consuming any right-wing crap. Don't knee-jerk associate me with them just because it was in a recent news cycle.
The paper that you cite examined the adaptability of a mouse-adapted SARS virus to mouse cells in-culture.
How does that turn into SARS-COV2?
That is just what they admitted to. Release it back into the wild and a couple of years of natural mutation will hide their work.
I think that ends the discussion right there.
Yep, because that last statement by FHM is a load of baloney. It may not be an expression of the craziest conspiracy theories, but is part of the same nonsense.
