"Gain-of-function" research is the modification of naturally occurring viruses in order to make them more deadly and/or more contagious, especially in humans.
Temporary moratorium
Safety concerns lead to the banning of "Gain-of-function" research on coronaviruses in the US in 2014, but it "came roaring back under Trump and Fauci" in 2017.[citation needed] Marc Lipsitch commented that this sort of research had “done almost nothing to improve our preparedness for pandemics, yet... risked creating an accidental pandemic.”[1]
Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| CRISPR gene editing | Breakthrough technology making gene editing easy and fast. |
| DEFUSE | A rejected proposal from Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance to weaponise naturally occuring bat coronaviruses, to preempt "zoonotic spillover". Authenticity questionable. |
| Genetic Extinction Technology | |
| National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases | |
| Operation Cauldron | Offshore test of biological weapons. |

| Sasha Latypova | “The perpetrators desperately, at all cost, need you to to believe that "mutating viruses in a lab" achieves some scary result, that then can be "leaked". That anyone can do it, even a PhD student in their garage. That our enemies are doing it and will "release" a super scary bug any time now, unless the Government is "prepared" by making a stockpile of "predictive vaccines" that can be deployed in DAYS after a new scary virus is detected in China. Or Timbuktu. It is, however, a narrative. There is no way to "mutate viruses" in a lab in the way they all imply - to artificially make them deadlier and more transmissible at the same time. This is a propaganda fairytale with a very specific goal. You should be very concerned about any person (on "their" side or "ours") who repeats it with a serious face. | Sasha Latypova | 27 January 2023 |

| Document:Was there a Wuhan lab leak? | blog post | 1 June 2021 | Jonathan Cook | No meaningful lessons will be learnt about what really happened in Wuhan. Maintaining the illusion of truth will continue to take precedence over uncovering the truth. And for that reason we are doomed to keep making the same screw-ups. As the next pandemic will doubtless attest. |
