Your essay is ...
Not when you’re combatting propaganda intended to obfuscate key facts pursuant to a criminal inquiry. Paul dropped the ball. Watch for a change in language next go around.
You can’t read. Speaks volumes, it seems.
This research fits the definition of the research that the NIH said was subject to the pause in 2014 to 2017
The words from that pause policy
New USG funding will not be released for gain-of-function research projects that may be reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and/or transmissibility in mammals via the respiratory route. The research funding pause would not apply to characterization or testing of naturally occurring influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses, unless the tests are reasonably anticipated to increase transmissibility and/or pathogenicity.
The virus causing Covid-19 is the SARS virus SARS-CoV-2.
Seems like an open and shut case of Senator Paul being 100% correct and Fauci lying like a rug.
Well, you can’t connect dots. Speaks even more volumes its evident.
Wouldn’t GoFoC be subset of GoF? Therefore research developing GoFoC is developing GoF. If Sen. Paul was talking about research that does not develop the functions of concern and referred to it as GoFoC you would have a point but talking about the more general gain of function is not inaccurate even if imprecise.
Fair enough. I don’t know all the language of virology. It will be interesting
Rarely have I ever seen anyone so condescending, insulting and obnoxious all while FAILING completely to make a convincing argument.
Let’s try to salvage the wreckage of this thread and your credibility. Perhaps by taking a different approach. Instead of cutting and pasting long paragraphs of inconclusive bureaucratic communications, try presenting your “facts” in one or two sentences. I’ll help get you started.
“Rand Paul claims GOF is ...”. “He is wrong because ...”.
As I expected. You debate like a leftist. Attack someone with lies and insults (Rand Paul), then when challenged to defend your baseless claims you respond with nothing but insults.
You didn’t ask for a debate, i.e. an exchange of ideas.
Ironically, YOU got triggered and responded like a leftist.
Paul’s no litigator; he had the opportunity to go for the jugular and blew it. He was unprepared. Don’t like it? Talk to his staff. I’m just pointing out the obvious for the normally intelligent (that’s another slur, btw; BATTER UP).
My response was well deserved. Stock up on q-tips, buttercup: That brown stuff ain’t wax.
Still waiting for you to explain why what Rand Paul said was wrong. Obviously you CANNOT answer the question and so you respond with nothing but blither, insults and the seeming inability to understand that commonly used words such as “debate” and “argument” have multiple meanings. I will waste no more time on you.
Already did dumbass. Take your trophy and go home.
Yep, this is the new line from The Left. They can’t deny Fauci’s role in the Covid-Wuhan leak, so they are now downplaying the danger of G-O-F research.
Yes you did. Barking up the wrong tree.
You should take off your blinders before picking a target and engage that tissue between the ears.
It’s amazing how many here were triggered by my sidebar critique of Paul; that should bear some self analysis (not on my part).
Having retained his position as a bureaucrat for 30 years, I do not believe he is incompetent. I believe that he is shrewd and conniving.
But if you read some of these comments here one would think I’m a sycophant.
Those who proclaim to be the smartest in the room, like yourself, usually do so because no one recognizes them as such, and usually think just the opposite of what he proclaims himself to be.
You are what the Russian's would call a useful idiot.
So much words
LORD, Can I please have the two minutes of my life back that I wasted reading this and replying? WHAT
