PFIZER’S RESPONSE TO PROJECT VERITAS’S STING FAILS TO CONVINCE
PFIZER’S RESPONSE TO PROJECT VERITAS’S STING FAILS TO CONVINCE:
"There’s a lot of doublespeak and hiding behind language there. While Pfizer insists it performs no gain-of-function research, it goes on to admit that in a “limited number of cases,” the company engineers the COVID-19 virus to “enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.”...
...It’s obfuscatory and confusing at best, and given Pfizer’s history of misleading the public, there’s no reason to take the company’s word for anything.

About that antarctic iceberg
"You may have seen the news that a huge iceberg calved off of the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica...
- What makes this particular event interesting to me is how careful both the scientists and the media have been in noting that this event was not linked to climate change in the least.
- It was quite noticeable, given how every drop of water melting anywhere in the world is usually interpreted as a signal of doom.

The media ignored a very fateful event in the waning days of the Obama administration
...Obama appeared throughout his presidency (at least publicly) to be leery of the risks associated with GOF research...

In a November 2015 report on GOF published in the science journal Nature, scientists concluded that “building chimeric viruses based on circulating strains [is] too risky to pursue, as increased pathogenicity in mammalian models cannot be excluded.”
- The recommendation to end the moratorium also flew in the face of what Obama’s Homeland Security adviser, Lisa Monaco , considered “one of the gravest risks for the new administration”: the emergence of an “infectious disease.”
- The President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology similarly sent a letter to Obama just days after Trump’s victory warning him of the very real threat of biological attack. The 16-page letter explicitly warned that the “modification of pathogens to overcome existing immunity or to be resistant to available drugs.” In other words, GOF posed a serious threat to national security...
