gain-of-function research

U.S. Senator Rand Paul and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. share their experiences with coronavirus and censorship in this historic episode.

Here is the description of Rand Paul's new book, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up:

Senator Rand Paul was on to Anthony Fauci from the start. Wielding previously unimaginable power, Fauci misled the country about the origins of the Covid pandemic and shut down scientific dissent.
One of the few leaders who dared to challenge "America’s Doctor" was Senator Rand Paul, himself a physician. Deception is his indictment of the catastrophic failures of the public health bureaucracy during the pandemic.
Senator Paul presents the evidence that:

• The Covid virus was likely the product of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China—research funded in part by the U.S. government.
• Taxpayer dollars for that research were deceptively funneled to Wuhan without the required regulatory review.
• Fauci and his scientific yes-men knew from day one about Covid’s origin and tried to cover it up.
• Fauci and his allies ruthlessly attacked everyone—including highly qualified scientists—who threatened to reveal the truth about the pandemic.

Why? Hundreds of millions of dollars of grants and unreported royalties were at stake, and heads would roll if the truth got out.

As more and more is revealed about Anthony Fauci’s possible role in the funding the research that led to the pandemic, Senator Rand Paul tells Tucker that Fauci misled the country about the origins of Covid and shut down scientific dissent. So, if Covid-19 was deadly, was the real killer the coverup, led by America’s most durable medical bureaucrat?

Good news everyone - Chinese scientists have 'created' a mutant coronavirus strain that attacks the BRAIN and has a 100% kill rate in mice, AND they admit there's a 'risk it spills over to humans'. So… do whatever it takes to stop Disease X, or madness that must be stopped before it’s too late? Hmmm

Newly uncovered evidence shows that not only did gain-of-function experiments at the WIV lead to the Covid-19 lab leak but that the blueprint for these experiments were bioweapons-related. But of course, US bio-weapon labs are a wacky RFK Jr conspiracy theory, right?

As world leaders and the WHO meet in Davos to discuss “Disease X” - a future pandemic that could cause 20 times more fatalities than Covid-19 – debate around the crucial chicken and egg question is being postponed. Namely, which came first, the risky gain of function experiments or the disease?

In this 119th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

This week, we discuss science, sophistry, mis- dis- and mal- information, and making sure that people on the fringe remain there. We discuss corruption, and the lab leak hypothesis for the origin of SARS-CoV2. We briefly discuss Hunter Biden’s laptop, before talking about Lia Thomas, the trans swimmer who competes successfully as a woman, after having competed unsuccessfully as a man. We talk about last names, and naming conventions in culture. And we talk about inclusion.
