“One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it [COVID] ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we’re gonna do that though, there’s a risk of like, as you could imagine — no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating f**king viruses,” Walker admits.

It's called gain of function, for anyone who still doesn't know. Believe it or not, Obama banned it, but it was restored under Trump in 2017. And Trump didn't re-ban it after the covid outbreak. Expect this to be a major campaign issue in '24.

...gain of function...banned...but it was restored under Trump in 2017. And Trump didn't re-ban it after the covid outbreak.

If this is true, could it be why Trump still stands four-square behind the Project Lighspeed vaccine rollout?

Stop the hyperbole. Trump did not knowcanything about the gain of function ban or that Fauci subverted WH higher ups including Trump before the pandemic and purposely went to lower level WH staff to convince them that it needed to be allowed again. Trump couldn’t undo something he knew nothing about. Please get your facts straight before start talking about campaign issues.

(Obama) White House announces review process for risky virus studies
Plan could lead to end of 2-year moratorium on handful of controversial flu studies

9 JAN 2017BYJOCELYN KAISER

The policy from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) essentially follows recommendations from last May from an advisory committee that attempted to define the riskiest experiments and spell out when they should be funded. Both critics and supporters of these hotly debated studies welcomed the policy, which some feared would languish if left to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump. But some are reserving judgment until they see the results of the reviews.

Although the new guidance provides no timelines, HHS is working to put the review process in place “as quickly as possible,” said an agency spokesperson on background. The agency says that “any projects that are determined suitable to proceed will do so with appropriate risk mitigation measures in place.”
