I downloaded that file yesterday and waded through it. I'm inclined to believe it is real because it actually has the ring of truth and much gain of function work is done for. GOF is still on the whole unsafe even when aiming to make vaccines as the end product because you still have an altered pathogenic organism that will tempt even the purest hearts to use.

Remember the dust up with Fauci and Rand. Fauci kept pushing the idea that what they were doing was to make vaccines so it really wasn't GOF. Turns out he was probably telling the truth about the making of a bat vaccine in this case but was still being dishonest about GOF.
