In 2015 a scientist at Anthony Fauci's agency thought it would be neat to mix two Monkeypox strains together to make a nastier one. For no reason anyone can explain, the National Institutes of Health's Institutional Review Board thought it would be neat too, and approved it.
A normal person might worry that doddery Joe Biden has the nuclear codes, but all along, unnamed, unaccountable
countless others might have their fingers on equivalent bombs, and they won't need to input any codes to set off the bombs, just have a bad day. The idea was to mix a deadly but slow strain of monkey pox with a tamer monkey pox strain that spread quickly. This could have created a virus with the "best of both" — an agent with a 15% fatality rate and a reproduction rate of 2.4, which would
make it very much "pandemic potential". (With one infected person infecting 2.4 others, this was a similar rate of spread to the original Wu-Flu, but so much deadlier).
So any normal human would know this was a stupid risk to take, but the NIH did it anyway.
Worse, they knew it was bad, and they hid the approval for nine years. Even when the investigators from a House Committee came knocking, they concealed the project approval. They now say the experiment was never done, but they can't point to a single email or memo to show it was stopped. The original approval has only recently been reversed.
As long as the festering mess that gave us Covid is not dealt with — it's just a matter of time before we get the next one.Four years on and no one has been sacked for the lab leak that infected the world, or the cover up that hid the origin.Fauci swears that a biosecurity breach in Wuhan could not possibly have anything to do with his former agency NIAID, but since they hid the monkeypox approval, and told journalists it never happened, then stonewalled and denied it to a congressional committee, Fauci's assurances are worth about as much as nine years of active deception suggest.
Reckless Gain-of-Function experiments with viruses is like letting the local university make nuclear bombs in basements of skyscrapers. Except it's more dangerous.
Is there any reason the NIH should not be razed to the ground?
Comment: For NATO to not only endorse this policy, but become various parties to it is proof of intent.
