#2The answer is clearly yes, as money was granted to WIV, which specializes in corona viruses.
The questions are:
- why was EcoHealth Alliance/Daszak used as a cutout between the NIH and Chinese govt? The US govt. sends money directly to the Chinese govt. for many programs.
- why didn't Fauci admit he granted money to WIV in 2020 when he did hundreds of interviews?
- did Fauci pay for GoF research in Wuhan because there was concern about it inside the US? or paid for what exactly?
- why is Fauci combative when the Senate attempts oversight?

#3Does Colorado state do a lot of this type of (supposedly debatable) gain of function research? It seems like they selected an expert randomly who said basically, “everything is subjective.” Good piece but it would help to explain why they consulted this particular expert for comment.

#4How's that even a question?
The new viruses created in the research gained human transmissibility.
Maybe it doesn't fit whatever loose definition of gain of function exists in the field, but, in layman's terms, it gained a function and it definitely sounds like risky research.

#5Maybe people will finally stop making cringe music videos painting Fauci as a saint and hero.

#6US wasn't the only country involved in their virology labs. France too.

#7From the article, it sounds like the response is "it wasn't gain-of-function research, it was just research that involved gains of function."
It sounds like the fact the money was going to the lab isn't in question, but the exact nature of the research is still a little handwavy.

The point is the headline. "Risky Coronavirus China".
The entire lab leak theory gets smuggled in as a background assumption.

To me it sounds like damage control lawyer speak: "Only admit what you can't deny any longer".
None of this is new information, only that you were called a 'conspiracy theorist' for bringing these up until now and at the risk of being ostracized, just like with the 'lab-origin' theory. Doesn't exactly inspire trust in BBC reporting when journalists could have asked these exact same questions 6 months or more ago, unless the reporting was suppressed on purpose.
You have to wonder what else will be admitted as true and if they will throw Dr. Fauci under the bus eventually.
