At long last, National Institutes of Health (NIH) principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress Thursday that US taxpayers funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Dr. Tabak,” asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, “did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?”
“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

Succinctly put, yes. This was pretty evident, for those who were actually interested in the truth (as opposed to swallowing somebody's propaganda and/or disinformation) almost immediately. It says something that, here in 2024, there are still vast numbers of people who either don't know this or don't wish to know it.
The United States, not China, was the "but for" cause of the COVID pandemic.
The main problem with GOF research isn’t that the taxpayers paid for it.
Nuremberg 2.0,,,
The Good ol’ Days.
I used to say that we should mark our debts to China "paid in full" for this. After later realizing that this was actually our fault, I'm speechless. I'm just simply at a loss for words, beyond saying that I'm absolutely appalled at what this country has become.
So how would I answer anyone who called me out for my previous comments? I can't. It's that bad.
The visible government has little to do with what is actually happening to us, or to the world.
The last time we won a war our allies were the British Empire and the Soviet Union.
Our “allies” now are weak little countries chosen not for what they contribute to us and to our defense, but chosen for how likely they are to drag us into war on behalf of alien people unable to defend themselves without constant American support and supply.
It’s ridiculous.
Well, lookit, I don't know if you're being sincere here or trolling or whatnot. But assuming you are being sincere, for my part (for what it's worth), I'm impressed with what you've said here. Most people aren't this forthright. I know it doesn't come easily to me, that's for sure.
I don't buy into all of the full-blown COVID "conspiracy" theories one sees bandied about. That "mistakes were made" and that "lies were told" has sufficient explanatory power for me. What I do recognize is that the U.S. government's subsequent response to the COVID pandemic -- in particular, the vax mandates under Biden, but also the shuttering of schools and the wild distribution of funds -- did tremendous damage to this country, damage from which I'm not sure we will recover.
The only good thing I can see coming out of this is that, for a fair number of people, their eyes have been opened, leading to a better perception of reality. I applaud you for your own reaction to all this.
NO !!! TREASON AND THE GALLOWS !!!
On every TV Channel and loitering hang around coverage on PPV for those that want to see the job completed !!!
yup...
Amen

He didn’t lie; he just changed the meanings of words in real time.
Arrests?
Everyone involved in gain of function research; management, scientists, technicians, support staff are guilty of crimes against humanity and should be executed.
Finally they’re starting to own up

It was democide most foul perpetrated on world humanity. Governments tasked with promoting the welfare of their citizenry instead conspired to kill off as many of their charges as possible. How can this be described other than demonic evil run amok. It has without doubt changed the course of humanity forever.
Are those solar-powered gallows?
Exactly why I Posted what I did.
lol! sure, why not... they’re made of wood, which is just sunlight, so

Hasn’t been a noose displayed on the gallows for some time now. Removed prior to one of Bill Clinton’s Fort Smith visits if I recall correctly.
As far as I am concerned “gain of function” is the current politically correct term for biological warfare. Supposedly Nixon got us out of that in 1979. Supposedly only defensive research would be possible in a section headed by a two star Army general.
