That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

    proves your belief that gain of function is real.

    The American desire for gain of function is real. They were not allowed to play with it in America, so …

    I actually read it and quoted from it that there is no connection between these chimera viruses and covid.

    Er. Both are viruses.

    Stay in your lane and stop spreading lies.

    Again suspiciously aggressive and heavily pushing self censorship. Are you being paid?

      All of your comments are naive and ignorant and have no factual basis. In fact, I’ve pointed out specific quotes in your own references that prove you completely wrong which you have refused to acknowledge.

        Quite the opposite. I quoted others and provided sources.

        In fact, I’ve pointed out specific quotes in your own references that prove you completely wrong.

        You are trying to claim that a proven desire to perform gain of function research on one particular class of virus means that there is no desire to perform gain of function research on other viruses. That is naive and ignorant.

          Gain of function research is the cornerstone of molecular biology. WTF are you talking about. Again, your ignorance is glaringly obvious.

            Gain of function research is the cornerstone of molecular biology.

            Wow. That’s a bold strategy for a debate. Let me try and unpack the logic.

            • Gain of function research is the cornerstone of molecular biology.

            • Research into deadly viruses is molecular biology.

            • Scientists not be doing their job properly if they were not trying to breed the deadliest, most infectious diseases possible.

            Well, your strategy could be considered a success. You’ve convinced me not to argue with you any further.

              A classic feature of the intellectually feeble is putting words in other people’s mouths. Tell us what gain of function means.
