definition of gain of function research. His flip flop on masks. First they didn't work, then he said they did, then he said put on two, three, etc. The nonsense that anyone who questions him was questioning science. He obviously wasn't paying attention to the science himself. The fear mongering that if you didn't get vaccinated, you would kill people because they initially said you couldn't spread or get the virus if you were vaccinated, which was total bs. Forcing vaccines on people especially those who are younger and have good immune systems was a sin. Fauci seemed only interested in vaccines as the only measure as opposed to any other therapeutic. It was Fauci's way or you lost your job or had your business closed. The schools closure and what it did to kids was by far the worst.
In my opinion, when Covid took off and during the initial bad strain that attacked the lungs, Fauci was scared shitless that he was part of funding research that was killing lots of people around the world so he did everything possible to cover his ass. Remember, the last thing scientists and researchers want is to have their funding cut and have additional regulations and scrutiny over the work they do. If Fauci and the CDC gets linked to funding such type of research, the public outcry would be enormous and would lead to the things I just mentioned which they don't want. To top it off, you have Tyrone on this board pushing vaccines on everyone regardless of their age or health. Ty has never answered why a person in great health would get a shot that doesn't stop the virus, doesn't stop the spread, has been associated (granted small percent) with young males getting myokarditis, and we still don't know long term effects on one's body for getting the shot/boosters. It makes no sense to me.
