RSSViral manipulation research, inserting genes from pathogens like small pox, was reported in the journal Science in the early 2000’s. One such report led to the shutting down of an Australian researchers laboratory. It caused an uproar leading eventually to a ban on what became known as gain of function research.
The little masters of the universe in white coats enjoy the attention from their corporate and military sponsors and are indifferent to the consequences of such pathogen manipulation on the broad population – especially on the superfluous poor and elderly
So this technology has been around in various forms for quite a while.
It should not surprise anyone that the policy makers and elites who fund this work are also indifferent to and immune from the consequences. Why would US trained molecular virologists working in China have a social conscience or morality any different from their mentor, like Dr Peter Dazsik of the oddly named EcoHealthAlliance ( the presumed gain of function bagman from the NIH)?
For historical context.
Consider the high proportion of German physicians who were active enthusiastic members of the National Socialist Party and what a little bit of money and flattery from the elites will buy for an empire-building agenda.
