The net brainpower at CNN is probably about the level of Rogan’s, smart but not super-smart, having its own biases- but he’s a single person who can speak and reflect and admit to limitations and CNN is a collective editorial body who exist behind the scenes and never have to or choose to be publicly candid.

Joe’s wrong that they had “glee”, what they perform is sober and concerned disapproval. Which I feel too but I’m not an arrogant jackass about it.

Well that’s your take. Mine is that Gupta was exceedingly evasive. He is forced into that position because the truth is that CNN lies in an attempt to drive profit and the content they publish is closer to a steaming pile of dog **** than journalism.

The National Institute of Health confirms they funded gain of research function. From the 4th paragraph:

The limited experiment described in the final progress report provided by EcoHealth Alliance was testing if spike protiens from naturally occuring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of bindingto human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.

Don't worry though it had nothing to do with Covid-19. Just a coincidence that a bat corona virus with spike proteins decimated the world at the same time. :roll:

Where in that did you get the idea the lab was altering viruses? Testing whether naturally occuring viruses bind to human cells does not fall into that category.

Spike proteins are common in coronavirus. Thinking there is an unsuual coincidence is like saying humans and monkeys are the same because they sweat while most other animals don't.

In the 4th paragraph. They took a disease from one species and made it infect a new species. That’s gain of function.

Apparently you need clarification. Did the scientists alter anything about the virus before introducing it to the mice? Mind you I'm not talking about the mice.

I'll give you the answer. It's no, thus the research itself not being classified as gain of function.

This is way beyond simple testing on animals this is just straight malicious. Fauci is a monster. Remove this man from power immediately.

Oh please. Beagles and rhesus monkey have been used for years in drug testing. Many years ago I visited a facility in Indianapolis where hundreds of rhesus monkeys were kept in temperature controlled cages and fed various drugs--some of which were quite harmful-- to see how they would react. Would you prefer experimental and control groups comprised of human beings? That's what the nazis did in the concentration camps.

Next time you eat a steak you should book a trip to a farm to see how the steers are raised and then to a slaughterhouse to see how the animals are killed. Why is a dog more inherently valuable than a calf?

Why do we need to magnify terror in beings? What purpose is this serving?

Who knows? My guess is that the military requested and funded that research, if in fact your source is accurately describing it.

How is any of the above related to covid? Those experiments are horrible, but what's the point of posting them here? I get that you want to disqualify Fauci, but this sounds like an irrelevant way of doing it. That stuff belongs here: viewforum.php?f=69

Pro sand fly eating beagle heads is a weird take (at least we know if one drinks 18 coronas and passes out on a beach, sand flies might get you) - one might think it highlights how dichotomous views on fauci have become.

Wow. The GOP is sooooo stretching to find anything to nail Fauci with. Anything at all. Since Fauci was proven correct about the science, now it's on to attacking him personally over some tenuous connection to animal experimentation in Tunisia to "magnify terror" (yep, that sounds like the unbiased truth, lol). Think of the puppies!!! LMAO.

Follow the money. Next up it’s the children then it’s an annual booster. And you will not be considered fully vaccinated without these boosters. Have fun everyone. I’ll remain unvaccinated.

Good luck to you. Make sure you talk to your lawyer to confirm that your will is up to date (just in case your incredibly fantastic natural defenses fail against all odds).
