Remember when Fauci got $1million from a Holocaust Memory Group and he compared his path with those who listen to the voices of those who died in death camps? Weird comparison given that he came to the NIAID when they were still running Tuskegee and cut his chops experimenting on the terminally ill before those pesky Review Boards.

"Drawing a line between its mission of Holocaust remembrance and the ravages inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic, the March of the Living honored Dr. Anthony Fauci with an award for “moral courage in medicine” on the eve of Yom Hashoah, Israel’s Holocaust commemoration day. The award to Fauci, who for decades has been the top U.S. official handling infectious diseases, culminated in an online program on Wednesday called “Medicine and Morality.” In his acceptance remarks, Fauci referred to Maimonides, the medieval Jewish scholar and physician. “Maimonides reminded us that goodness and evil coexist, but that we are free to choose one over the other,” Fauci said. “I believe that the healing arts lie on the path of goodness, the same path, all of you have chosen in remembering and listening to the voices of those who perished in the Holocaust.”

Nice work that you and Jonathan Latham did on this, Sam. (Jonathan was a supporter of my anti-madnate article last year [https://thepolemicist.substack.com/p/danger-to-society-against-vaccine]) . Here's my rather particular take on Tony Fauci, my fellow high-school alumnus: https://thepolemicist.substack.com/p/danger-to-society-against-vaccine

It seems to me that there are two separate questions:

(1) did it escape from a lab (a question of whether we can keep lethal pathogens safe inside BSL4 labs in cities or anywhere, inckuding Kansas, apparent origin of the 1918 flu pandemic and soon-to-be replacement for Plum Island's disastrous, really unbelievable bioweapons Lab 257), and

(2) was there research to "make it worse" (gain-of-function)?

The intrinsic problem with research on pathogens is that you can't distinguish offensive from defensive intentions. You can engineer a worse bug and say "but the [name your enemy] might be working on it, so we need to develop a vaccine, and to do that, we need the enhanced pathogen."

The other intrinsic problem is the pathogens themselves. Even if we manage to keep the ignoramus nutjobs in power from testing (MK Ultra, Sidney Gottleib, Lab 257 again) or deploying them, we are like to shoot off our own faces (and eveyone else's) because they are so dangerous and because, well, humans -- and our systems, buildings, materials and procedures -- are fallible.

But most of all, this particular nation has a pretty bad rap sheet on using bioweapons, nuclear weapons, and the rest. Chemical weapons. And blaming it on others (except for nukes, which are pretty hard to false-flag -- except, come to think of it, maybe at Zaphorizia -- have you seen the recent work hypothesizing that the purported radiation "spikes" after the Russians seized control were actually manipulated- hacked - data?)

The only GOF research on a pathogenic coronavirus we know about for sure took place at the University of North Carolina. With Fauci's approval as an exception to a ban on such work. You better be able to show that that research begun here was moved to China, or that China started work before that work. WE look to be the originators of such seeming bioweapons-intended work on coronavirus.
