The deadly word games that brought us 'Gain of Function'

"This is where Fauci's word magic comes in because in biology, the jargon term "Gain of Function" refers not to human health, but to the health of the bugs that can kill you. So you thought the NIH was about YOUR health?"

 


 James Lewis  "Take the biggest headline lie today about the origins of COVID in an enormous U.S.-funded virology lab in Wuhan, China.  Your National Institutes of Health paid for the molecular trickery that made the virus more and more deadly to human beings until the armed-up virus somehow exploded out of Wuhan and spread around the world in a matter of days and weeks.

"Except that the bug didn't spread to Chinese government centers like Beijing, which simply blocked travelers from Wuhan.

"Even Nature magazine, the oldest science magazine in the world, has called attention to the tricky terminology of "Gain of Function."  But Nature's article is still shrouded in jargon.

"In the real world, the bug's Gain of Function is a horror story.

"The biggest single bug vector at the start of the pandemic went from Wuhan to Milan, where tens of thousands of Chinese workers carried the virus to overwhelm Italy's medical system overnight.

"Thousands of patients started to choke from an unknown cause, and their panicked doctors had no idea what they were dealing with.  They were caught unprepared, and China was not going to help them figure it out.

"China knew a lot about the virus, but nobody told Italian emergency doctors, who stood by helplessly while their patients suddenly died.

"The basic science that made the virus is now called "Gain of Function" research, but any American taxpayer who reads "Gain of Function" is likely to think a half-million dollars of U.S. money was spent for our "Gain of Function."

"It's called the National Institutes of Health, isn't it?  Why are we paying for the NIH if it isn't for human health?". . . Full article...
