The National Institutes of Health this month subtly erased its section on gain of function from its website following months of Dr. Anthony Fauci falsely denying that the organization funded such research.
The page no longer includes gain of function - only Potential Pandemic Pathogens, ePPP Research, and Oversight.
"Dr. Fauci now maintains experiments are only 'gain-of-function' if experimenters knew in advance that the newly created virus would gain lethality," he explained.
"HmmSo you can take any unknown bat virus and recombine it with the back bone of a known coronavirus and it doesn't qualify as gain of function, even if you discover that it gains function?" the Kentucky Republican asked.
For months, Fauci has denied that it funded gain of function research and even denied their own definition of the research during a contentious Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions hearing in July.
The chief White House medical adviser remained obstinate, maintaining that he did not lie about gain of function research occurring.
"This is your definition that you guys wrote. It says that scientific research that increases the transmissibility among animals is gain of function. They took animal viruses that only occur in animals and they increase their transmissibility to humans. How you can say that is not gain of function?" Paul asked, prompting another denial from Fauci.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
