“Gain of function”
I hate that term - it’s a way to bamboozle people and make it sound, oh, so technical and out of reach of the common plebe.
What’s wrong with, “Dangerous mutation found in Monkeypox”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain-of-function_research
Gain-of-function research (GoF research or GoFR) is medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products. This may include an altered pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range, i.e., the types of hosts that a microorganism can infect. This research is intended to reveal targets to better predict emerging infectious diseases and to develop vaccines and therapeutics. For example, influenza B can infect only humans and harbor seals.[1] Introducing a mutation that would allow influenza B to infect rabbits in a controlled laboratory situation would be considered a gain-of-function experiment, as the virus did not previously have that function.[2][3] That type of experiment could then help reveal which parts of the virus’s genome correspond to the species that it can infect, enabling the creation of antiviral medicines which block this function.[3]
Because gain of function is engineered by humans while dangerous mutation is a natural occurrence.
gain of function does not occur naturally
it is man made weaponization
it is outlawed in the US, that is why fraudci took it to Wuhan and other places overseas
natural mutations are generally to the demise of the organism
