A mask mandate was the least of anyone's worries during that fiasco.

PS, I notice how you blame "communist China" instead of capitalists doing gain of function experimentation in a Chinese lab that was funded by multiple countries, but certainly had some US dollars hard at work there. Under Trump.

No, you don't notice that, unless you think I authored that report. Lazy, imprecise turd.

You're such a cheerful fellow. I should always read your posts with a cuppa first thing every morning.

Anyway, from The Intercept article posted above:

In October 2014, the federal government put a

for oversight of research using potential pandemic pathogens. The grantees reported that the humanized mouse experiment was done between June 2017 and May 2018. Gain-of-function research was thrust into the spotlight again in 2020, amid speculation that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had conducted such research and that it was somehow linked to the pandemic.

While the new information about the research on humanized mice does not provide the “smoking gun” for proponents of what has become known as the “lab leak theory,” it lends the hypothesis credence, according to Stuart Newman, a professor of cell biology who directs the developmental biology laboratory at New York Medical College. “Making chimeric coronaviruses, mixing and matching RBDs [a part of the virus that allows it to attach to receptors] and spike proteins is exactly the scenario imagined by many lab-leak scenario proponents,” said Newman. “The fact that this was an established research paradigm in the Wuhan lab … definitely makes the laboratory origin more plausible.”

The documents about the research were released by NIH after The Intercept submitted a Freedom of Information Act request in September 2020, later suing to have it fulfilled. The request sought copies of these and other grant proposals that Daszak submitted to the agency, as well as the agency’s communications about the proposals. NIH originally denied The Intercept’s request on the grounds that releasing Daszak’s proposals would undermine an ongoing investigation. Counsel for the agency later admitted that NIH had not reviewed many of the records before making that assertion.



So, who was president when gain of function research was halted in 2014? And who was prez when the moratorium was lifted in 2017? Just curious.
