Honestly, right about now people should be thinking about boiling rope.


This is a bit of a long read. Nevertheless I believe it to be well worth it.

Virus Origins and Gain (Claim) of Function Research

Quote:

Summary
A thorough review of the available evidence suggests that the emergence of a novel engineered virus is the least likely explanation for the event known as the covid pandemic.

Notably:

*The discovery of novel viruses is a function of how determined we are to find them - the more we look the more we find, suggesting that the attribution of novelty to a virus is as much the result of a politicised process rather than something based on an objective analysis of its properties.

*The features of SARS-CoV-2 do not appear to be as special or unique as claimed.

*There is no good evidence that the many and complex hurdles in front of deliberately engineering viruses to become more pathogenic or transmissible in humans have been overcome.

*The theory that there was a long-standing but hitherto undetected virus endemic in animal (and possibly human) reservoirs is difficult if not impossible to falsify.

*There are other explanations which could explain the sudden and rapid global appearance and spread of a specific sequence than the spread of a novel virus.

*The available virological and epidemiological evidence does not adequately support either the lab leak or the wet market theories for the origins of the virus.

We therefore suggest that it would be more apt to refer to Claim-of-Function than Gain-of-Function research.

IMO everything that we have experienced in the last four years was in service of creating and maintaining the illusion that Gain of Function was possible and that "they" had solved it and were capable of creating nasty viruses on command. Actual biology has something to say about that. If this is true, it makes what they did far worse than simply playing with something nasty and letting it get away on them.
