RFK Jr. is a leftist nut. He is not a scientist and knows nothing about how science is carried out, but he has no qualms about saying the most ridiculous things.
First of all, it is illegal to create a bioweapon. It is illegal to even make changes to a pathogen or toxin that makes it more virulent. And we do not have the technology to create a new pathogen from scratch, that is, by making a DNA or RNA genome and using it to grow a pathogen. We have our hands full just trying to understand the biology of pathogens; we do not have a sufficient understanding of the interactions between pathogen and host to be able to create a pathogen.
Second, Congress funds most research, including the research on organisms that could be used for bioterrorism. They receive annual reports of the research that was done. Does anyone think that a group of scientists could deviate from their research plan and start (illegal) work on making a pathogen more virulent without someone noticing?
Why is anyone paying any attention to a leftist kook who is spouting conspiracies that *might* make decent science fiction but are not possible in the real world?
What was going on in the laboratory in Wuhan? What is a furin cleavage site?
The bad news is, I can't tell whether you're just a pharma shill or truly what you appear to be, which is a cowardly, self-absorbed, hypochondrical fool, as so many women today sadly are.
The good news is, it doesn't really matter which of the two you are.
Everything Kennedy said here is as carefully researched, thought out, and rationale as the things he has been saying and doing for many years:

Of course it is illegal but violations have been well documented for over 30 years (Russia, China probably North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria) which is why these countries continue to resist a serious effort at verification. And probably why the US had labs in places like Ukraine.
BWAAAHAHAAHAAA!!!
LOL! Do you really want to discuss all the illegal things which the government is doing?
Yeah, Ralph Baric is just twiddling his thumbs and collecting a paycheck. /s
They do it the old-fashioned way: breed the pathogen in culture until you get an interesting mutation.

Get stuffed, troll.
He’s a Kennedy, which means people will talk to him.
