WASHINGTON – Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan) on Wednesday bans federal grants heading for research into all “dangerous” gains of function on the virus, according to a copy of the law exclusively obtained by the Post. I moved to do so.
The Get-of-Function Research Moratorium Act for Dangerous Virus Prohibits taxpayer money from contributing to experiments that involve “genetic changes” in viruses, bacteria, or other toxins that increase their infectiousness or infectivity. I will.
President Trump reportedly reportedly Contemplation of the Executive Order It bans dangerous virus research, which has been the flashpoint for public health debate following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dr. Robert Redfield, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CIA, FBI, Energy Division, and other government scientists all said that accidental lab leaks are the most likely explanation for the origins of SARS-COV-2 I decided that was. It killed more than 1.1 million Americans.
Many current and former federal officials and virologists have been working to acquire functions in 2014 at the Uhan Virology Institute, a lab in a Chinese city in the pandemic, and have been working on more than $1.4 million. It points out grants. It's begun.
Since then, the condemned nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance has distributed grants to the current Nutrition Institute. This has resulted in 10,000 times more infected with a virus like SARS in the lungs, 1 million times more infected with the brain, and three times more lethal than a human lab. NIH officials later confirmed.
These virus experiments yielded genetically distinct sequences from SARS-COV-2, but the proposal from another unfunded ecological station was flagged for having the same characteristics But Redfield etc. Proposed Even richer projects can be tested under other research grants.
“History has proven that viruses can escape even in the safest labs, and gain-of-function research can kill more people than nuclear weapons,” Marshall said.
“The Get-of-Function Research Moratorium Act for Dangerous Virus is important to ensure that the federal government will immediately suspend funds for this irresponsible, high-risk work. In the name of “Global Health” The age of unexplained taxpayer-funded science needs to be over. ”
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) introduced amendments to national defense law last year and discovered the Pentagon, which previously funded eco-health grants, but taxpayer money makes money We couldn't track just going to taxpayers. Functional research from overseas, including China.
Wuhan's experiment occurred despite suspending all gain-of-function research by the US government due to biosafety and biosecurity concerns despite his previous mission under former President Barack Obama I did.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former White House community emperor and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has repeatedly been in Congress as US-funded research does not constitute a rigorously functional experiment. Testimony and therefore violates a government-wide suspension.
While claiming to have an “open mind” about the origins of the coronavirus, Fauci believes that the most likely explanation for the pandemic is the natural spread of the virus from animals to humans He said he was there.
Other scientists, such as Dr. Stephen Key and Dr. Richard Ebright, testified against the objection at separate Congress hearings.
Evidence of a “smoking gun” of laboratory origin for Covid-19 is a different environment to the unfunded Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which proposed “precise features” of Furin. It came from the proposal. The site of the virus cleavage.
According to Ebright, a professor of chemistry and chemistry biology at Rutgers University, this feature is found in a spike protein that is absent in any of the more than 800 known SARS viruses.
“It is important to emphasize that there is no zero in the study of the problem – there are no practical applications for private sector,” Ebright talks about the gain of function experiment.
“A gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens has not been used, has not been used, has not been used, has not been used, has not been used, has not been contributed to the development of vaccines, has not been used, or has not contributed to the development of drugs,” he added.
Quay, CEO of Biopharmaceutical Company Atossa Therapeutics, said that Marshall's bill “stops federal funds for dangerous gain-of-function research to prevent next laboratory-sensitive infections from becoming another pandemic. It's a common sense solution to this.”
The bill also prevents further experiments of this type using pathogens such as Ebola, Malburg and Nipah virus.
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) also co-hosted the law.
