history of Infectious Diseases and Virology, the evidence we do have points very strongly toward a Zoonotic origin...this is why Dr. Fauci, and the very large majority of related experts initially, and to this day, believe the pathway was that one...But again, without data, we can't establish the true origin...that's the end of the conversation until China produces the missing data.
As for GOF research...it has indeed been debated in Congress and led President Obama to institute a pause in any U.S. involvement until stronger restrictions were put in place. Subsequently, in Trump's first term he ended the pause on GOF research...you might want to ask him what new restrictions he put in place. One other thing...GOF has been used every year to help design the next version of 'Seasonal Flu' vaccine....so, inherently, it can be used effectively for the benefit of human kind.
When it comes to the need for Dr. Fauci's pardon...look no further than that 'Trump'd Up" indictments against James Comey and Lettia James. DJT is a well known vengeful man who would use our taxpayer money to harm anyone who opposes him...just like his mentor, Vladimir Putin (See 'Helsinki'...'Anchorage'...)
