Pure meaningless sophistry. They are taking animal viruses, and deliberately giving them the ability to spread wildly in humans.
The virus is gaining the function of being able to spread in humans. It’s illegal, and Fauci lied. Paul exposed him.
This article is like when our side hears a democrat mention an AR-15 or an AK as an assault rifle. We smugly explain that it is NOT an assault rifle because it does not go full auto. Then we strut around like we made a devastating point.
Meanwhile everyone else goes back to discussing upcoming assault rifle laws.
Paul was right, Fauci lied. Fauci facilitated the creation of this virus. The article is pointless except to hobbiests.
There’s no dispute that RNA viruses mutate as part of their natural selection process and “gain transmissibility” as they infect additional species. The problem with COVID-19 is that current research does not support a natural zoogenic pattern of transfer with mutations. The bat virus ancestor (RaTG13) was discovered in Northeastern China but the infections of humans leapfrogged 600 miles and originated in Wuhan. There were no interim species infected as is usually seen in natural spreading but instead the virus infected humans.
The virus “gained virulence” by a process that is outside the expected pattern of natural selection. Whatever you call it, it was intentional human activity of some sort which was then denied by the CCP which indicates malicious intent.
The people at NIAID and NIH trusted the CCP and PLA scientists because they were useful idiots and have now reaped the harvest of their stupidity. I don’t think Dr. Fauci is evil, just a dupe of CCP leaders who are laughing at the naivete of Western leaders.
“The article is pointless except to hobbiests.”
His vanity post is just pointless. To anyone.
He doesn’t actually ever make one.
