Fauci: ‘We Don’t Even Use the Word Gain-of-Function’ — It’s So ‘Nebulous
Breitbart ^ | 01/07/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 01/08/2023 6:51:47 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with CBS’ “The Takeout” podcast recorded on Thursday and released on Friday, former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that the term “is such a nebulous, generic term” and “we don’t even use the word gain-of-function.”

CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett said, “There are acolytes of Elon Musk who say when you read gain-of-function, you should just translate that to bioweapon.”

Fauci responded, “That’s absolutely incorrect. For example — the reason we don’t even use the word gain-of-function. We use the word what kind of guardrails do you need to put on a proposed experiment, what are the rails that you put up of — in order to do the experiment, you have to get special permission. That was well worked out by bodies beyond the NIH, the National Academies of Science, the Office of Science and Technology Policy. And the experiments that were done were well within those guidelines. Gain-of-function is such a nebulous, generic term that, for example, the vaccine…that is made for influenza is to take a virus and give it the gain of function to grow in an egg to get the vaccine that is now protecting you against flu. So, we don’t use gain-of-function when we’re talking about that now because it’s such a broad category that it can get misinterpreted by people of gain-of-function means bad things. Well, no.”

Just more of Doctor I.M. Science telling people what they can say and not say. I want to see him tried and found guilty of crimes against humanity. His execution should be carried out with a short rope.

We don’t use that phrase “gain of function” because the us legislature made it illegal, so we call it something else now.

Faici said the recearch was worth the risk of a pandemic.

He probably really meant the pandemic they were planning needed the research.

How about creating a man made Virus to steal an election? Gain of power is more like it.

Precisely. Any attempt to increase the lethality of a pathogen either intentionally or as a consequence of ANY experimentation is “gain of function research.....PERIOD!

Translation from the original Fauci: “They caught on to what we were doing so we had to stop using the old name”

Fauci is so stuck on stupid over his hair splitting definition of gain of function he is beginning to sound like the crazy sitting in the corner who can’t stop repeating himself. Note to crazy uncle Fauci. It’s not working.

Fauci claimed that the term “is such a nebulous, generic term” and “we don’t even use the word gain-of-function.”

China Joe Potato Head Biden claimed that the term “is such a nebulous, generic term” and “we don’t even use the word concentration-camp.”

I dont care what this freak calls it. His demon spawn took years off my life and consigned me to a slow, painful death where I slowly suffocate.

Rot in hell, Fauci.
