Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with Millions of U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research
The linked article goes on to describe Gain of Function research as:
 “Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release. SARS-CoV-2 , the virus now causing a global pandemic, is believed to have originated in bats. U.S. intelligence, after originally asserting that the coronavirus had occurred naturally, conceded last month that the pandemic may have originated in a leak from the Wuhan lab. (At this point most scientists say it’s possible—but not likely—that the pandemic virus was engineered or manipulated.)”
It appears that Dr. Fauci chose poorly.

Can you guarantee me that our level 4 lab in Maryland at Fort Dietrick did not place this virus in a position where it could be stolen from a lab in Canada where they knew there were two Chinese nationals loyal to the CCP ? Didn't think so . Lavoy , Waco , Ruby Ridge , ad infinitum
