Former CDC director: Gain-of-function research "probably caused the greatest pandemic our world has seen"
[Hot Air] No kidding. However, don’t consider Robert Redfield a johnny-come-lately to the lab-leak explanation for COVID-19’s origin. Almost exactly two years ago, just after the former CDC director took his leave of the Biden administration, Redfield stunned CNN host Sanjay Gupta by declaring his conclusion that the pandemic started as a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and resulted from gain-of-function (GOF) research funded in part by the US despite warnings against it.

#5 Economically, this was bigger in the same way that current hurricanes do more economic damage than one in 1901. The economic damage would have been much less if we had not done dumb stuff.

#6 It was a fail. The plan was to kill the oldest 1/3 of the human population quickly. Didn't happen. The "vaccine" was supposed to help the project along.
