Did you read past the post title before firing up your meme folder to participate?
In earlier correspondence with The Telegraph, Dr Peter Daszak, the British zoologist and president of EcoHealth Alliance, said that its work >with WIV did not fall under restricted gain-of-function research.
“None of the work changed animal viruses so they can infect humans – they only infected human cell cultures and that’s a big difference,” >said Dr Daszak.
He also said the experiments were exempt because the original viruses were not infectious to humans.
However, White House officials told The Telegraph the work did fall under gain-of-function rules and would have required review.
Gerald Epstein, former assistant director for biosecurity and emerging technologies at the White House Office of Science and Technology >Police between 2016 and 2018, said: “I oversaw development of the US government’s enhanced potential pandemic pathogens (ePPP) >policy usually referred to as gain-of-function.
“EcoHealth claimed that their work engineering bat coronaviruses could not have been ePPP research because the original viruses were >not pathogenic to humans. That is apparently their position, but it is clearly incorrect.”
So Epstein (lol) a man who works with the US government is claiming that a lab he has never visited has violated the ePPP policy, while a >researcher WHO did work there and is NOT Chinese is stating that it didn't.
There is just as much evidence that the leak came from Fort Detrick however the "lab leak theory" for COVID is cope and not relevant to the average person especially since the world has decided the pandemic is over, to stop masking, testing, or providing immunizations.
I am aware that this news article may be misleading. That's not the point of my comment.
There's 1000 ways to mock someone for authoritarian policies, and yet people jump to tinting an asian man yellow.
They're coming in with their alts now. If you check some of the profiles on here, look how often China is mentioned and tell me it's not just obviously Hexbear users with alts
