Looks like another nothingburger to me. He says:

  • we do not fund gain-of-function at that lab.
  • they are doing gain-of-function research
  • we are concerned that COVID could be made worse by the gain-of-function research

According to the GAO - It also turns out that the NIH did fund virus research in that lab (or at least in Wuhan U), and they did not effectively monitor it. Note - its a big lab and likely had other work going on.

I feel for Fauci - there was conflicting research about whether the mutations were natural (supported by some scientists) vs artificial (supported by other scientists), and he was being forced to make a call. As the leaked doc states, he was trying to bring together more scientists to find a more definitive answer.

What has gun control got to do with a misbehaving police force? There is no place in the country where having a gun will protect you from a police force - they have better numbers, more equipment, and absolutely no conscience.

The only way to deal with this is laws, and electing officials with a backbone.

Sadly the police union is powerful and protects the thugs, and most officials daren’t touch the topic due to fear of losing votes.

This is a great answer. Thank you.

Being enraged is also being engaged (see Fox News).

So this was a great tactic because all the people that could have left reddit are still there yelling into the void.
