I was literally yelling at the radio when they played segments of Paul & Fauxi; perhaps someone reading this can send a dutiful message to someone else with a direct line to Dr. Paul so he actually sounds informed "about what he's talking about" next time and put that pr!ck Fauxi in his place.
If anyone sources their new terminology beyond what is asserted in this 2013 paper as being newer than GOFOC, please share it in forum.
Then your thread is useless. What the hell is Rand supposed to call it if there is no new term that you're aware of, even after searching?
Childish, meaningless and wonky sophistry only of interest to people deep in the field.
Fauci funded and championed illegal research. He pretended that the virus occurred naturally for a year. You say Fauci was laughing at Paul later. He was squirming on the stand.... he lied and got caught no matter what word games people play.
The article is an attempt to find a work around for the banning of gain of function activity in America. They decide to rename it.
Try again sport.
I hope you just failed to note that your article contained giant doses of sarcasm, else wise you are an @ss.
Dr. Fauci’s testimony was what we would call in the Navy “a quibble”. A quibble is a small lie that hides a bigger one.
He want’s to tie you down arguing definitions so that he can avoid going to the next level of the questioning.
If you can’t dazzle
Then baffle with 1000’s of words.
The point is fraudici is a weasel.
A dangerouse, callous pompous weasel.
And you,,
are just demonstrating
you are fluent in weasel also.
.jmho.
.
And by the way, we all also know that bullets and clips are not the same as cartridges and magazines.
But knowing that doesn’t change a thing when a deranged democrat does a mass shooting and the news says he was carrying “350 bullets and had 12 30-round clips”. The problem is that Fauci is doctor Mengele, not the term.
Rand Paul was correctly using Fauci’s own language and definition.
We cannot have communication if everyone has different definitions.
You arrogant toady. You defend Fauxi and his evil. You will be called to account for this one day. Just like he will.
What’s next, are you going to tell us our names spelled in capital letters is somehow legally different than if spelled using lower case??
Get an education.
Potato Potahto, Tomato Tomahto
Arguing about one group or another group’s definition of a phrase is an utterly meaningless diversion. Fauci said they made viruses that were unable to infect humans into viruses that were able to infect humans.
The only relevant question is, “ How do the people of the United States feel about Fauci spending our tax dollars to do that? “
Even if you could succeed in getting Fauci off by changing the meaning of words, which I don’t buy for one second, your darling boy admitted to doing something the people of this country will soundly condemn. His reputation is burnt toast.
Find yourself another Darling Boy Who Can Do No Wrong.

Very simply...THEN FAUCI SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT
Instead he resorted to his little rant and obstructed Senator Rand Paul who isn’t only a doctor, but also a diligent legislator who actually understands swamp language.
Fauci didn’t answer and his body language demonstrate he had no reasonable answer. AND IN FACT that everyone is missing is the original statement was that he didn’t fund the Wuhan Lab research, in performing his little rant he ended up defending it and thus admitting it.
A really good attorney would have ripped him to shreds.
You’re playing semantic word games just like “Dr.” FauXi did in the hearing.
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.
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.
Rarely have I ever seen anyone so condescending, insulting and obnoxious all while FAILING completely to make a convincing argument.
So much words
LORD, Can I please have the two minutes of my life back that I wasted reading this and replying? WHAT
