first-ever congressional hearing on gain-of-function research
2022-08-12
[Townhall- August 4] The hearing—titled "Revisiting Gain-of-Function Research: What the Pandemic Taught Us and Where Do We Go From Here" and held by the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Subcommittee examined federal investment into the research method that involves the manipulation of pathogens, such as enhancing the transmissibility of viruses to be more contagious and severe to humans.

This public panel on gain-of-function research follows a grave milestone: the COVID-19 health crisis has claimed the lives of over 1 million people in the U.S. alone. Paul, a ranking subcommittee member, noted on Twitter that it was "a year-long process" to get congressional Democrats to "finally agree to a hearing" on the contentious matter "that should've happened long ago."

After more than a million U.S. deaths due to COVID-19, the American people deserve answers.
Lots of old news, to Rantburgers, but discussed in Congress, and one Doctor says he will debate anyone who says it did not come from a lab.

#3  Obama and Spector visited and arranged funding for the Ukrainian labs that no one talks about. His policies moved the research overseas where everyone's kids owned a state in the research facilities.

#2  As much as I dislike Obama, he did the right thing here and these folks put America at risk.

You're saying he didn't know that Fauci would continue funding the research in China? Maybe not but that's a real stretch for me.

#1  Gain of function is a palatable term for biowarfare research. The biowarfare research that Obama supposedly ended continued off shore, China and other locations. Fauci and the others that allowed this are criminals. As much as I dislike Obama, he did the right thing here and these folks put America at risk. My question to congress and the rest is, while this virus is out and there is nothing we can do about it, where are the rest of the biowarfare weapons in development??? Because we know Wuhan is not the only site, it has the release Obama was worried about, but the other sites are continuing operations. We got lucky with COVID, there are others out there.
