Gain of Function research was restored under Trump. You’d never know unless you verify it yourself. You could start somewhere like here:

The news stories have all been about the banned GOF research and how the NIH funded it in Wuhan.
I did not know it was restored after Trump got into office, had never heard.
You know, I like President Trump but he made some very bad political appointments. Whoever authorized this should have been terminated, and it would have to go all the way up to the Secretary of HHS.
If you only have four years in office you can’t afford the hire and fire if it doesn’t work out. That may work in large organizations.
But it doesn’t work in a Presidency or in a small company. By the time a bad or incompetent person is terminated it’s too late.
Sessions was one. Great Senator. Terrible AG. And people in Alabama were warning about him.
Thanks for the post. This is the first I have seen of this.
