The new NIH policy that suspends funding for gain-of-function research--the category of research that caused COVID--needs to be codified into law. Otherwise, the likelihood is high the Executive-Order-based policy will be reversed under a future administration.

"USDA will not accept competitive applications for grants and cooperative agreements…submitted to solicitations issued after June 20, 2025…for dangerous gain-of-function research, as defined in Section 8 of E.O. 14292." nifa.usda.gov/about-nifa/ann…

Research that enhances the deadliness of bioweapons agents--the category of research that caused COVID, killing 20 million and costing $25 trillion--no longer will be funded by the US government.

Simon Wain-Hobson (virologist who first cloned and sequenced HIV) on high-risk gain-of-function virology: "There is no scientific benefit that justifies the risk of creating novel human pathogens. None." berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesell…

The reasons--the only reasons--gain-of-function virology occurs are: 1) To discover and develop new bioweapons agents. 2) To provide positions, promotions, and publications to several dozen ethically challenged virologists (Baric, Kawaoka, Fouchier, etc.).

"This…review…reports…laboratory-acquired infections and accidental pathogen escapes…between 2000 and 2024…Research laboratories reported 276 infections and 8 fatalities" This excludes the 5-8 billion infections and 20 million deaths from COVID. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I am currently working with FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate Fauci malfeasance in office. The FBI concluded, with "moderate confidence", that the pandemic most likely originated from a lab incident in Wuhan, China. Over the last six years, compelling evidence has emerged

Understanding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is not just about assigning blame—it's about learning from what happened so we can prevent future, more deadly pandemics and the negative societal consequences associated with them. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Congress

You don’t need to be convinced that the COVID-19 virus originated from a lab leak to recognize the imminent need for oversight mechanisms – the mere possibility that the virus could have emerged from such risky research should be more than enough to prompt decisive action. Gain

That’s why I introduced the Risky Research Review Act—to codify permanent independent oversight of dangerous scientific research funded by U.S. taxpayers. The bill establishes anindependent Life Sciences Research Security Board to safeguard public health, safety, and national

Anthony Fauci willfully violated federal policies on gain-of-function and enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research, committed conspiracy to defraud and perjury, used federal funds to commit crimes, and caused a pandemic that killed 20+ million and cost $25+ trillion.

"[A] research-related incident is the most probable origin of SARS-CoV-2...Accordingly, the worldwide construction of...high containment laboratories warrants great caution and should be accompanied by...global adoption of strong biosafety standards." bush.tamu.edu/wp-content/upl…

You run a government infectious disease research agency. You get a grant that proposes to carry out gain of function research into potentially dangerous coronaviruses. If you fund the grant you probably won’t learn anything useful, but 40 million people might die from a lab leak.

A defining hallmark of sociopathy is failure to recognize interests of others. The term "sociopath" is an accurate descriptor for researchers and research administrators who valorize their egos and career interests over the lives and interests of 8 billion.

🚨 BREAKING: My Risky Research Review Act just passed the Senate Homeland Security Committee 11–2.

Gain-of function research on viral potential pandemic pathogens caused the COVID-19 pandemic, killing 20 million. If not restricted, gain-of function research on viral potential pandemic pathogens will cause future pandemics and will kill millions more.
