    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.
