There is not animal resevoir for this strain. Boom, mic drop.

Question now isn't what they did or who funded it.

Question is what other Dr Frankenstein Gain of Function virus work are they doing now that they aren't telling us about?

Meh. Nothing new about experimentation on beagles... When I worked maintenance on JAL aircraft here in Anchorage, we would sometimes get an entire 747 filled with nothing but crates of beagle puppies, being sent to Japan to be used as test subjects.

Call me uninformed, but is there a non-nefarious reason to alter a virus for gain of function? It kind of sounds like classic mad scientist type stuff.

The # of adverse events logged by Feb 2020 should have been enough.

Before dismissing Dr Peter McCullough as a nutter check out his CV. Ignoring him reflects more poorly on those who do so and have worked to cancel him than it reflects on him.

This from June 30 2020
Asked to address the possibility of underreporting of COVID-19 vaccine-related "cardiac complications," McCullough said he thought the CDC was "overwhelmed" by the massive increase in reports of vaccine adverse events.

"The CDC every year with all the vaccines combined get about 16,000 safety reports and about 25 deaths reported to the VAERS system. So far with COVID-19 they've received over 300,000 safety reports, over 6,000 deaths, nearly 20,000 hospitalizations, I think they're completely overwhelmed," he assessed.
RTWT, just one random source, plenty long form interviews and speeches by him are out there for those with inquiring minds.

OSHA said that employers don't have to report vaccine related adverse effects.

...and even with officially sanction underreporting these flu "therapies" are breaking all records for adverse events. More adverse events from these than all previous combined. Last I looked/estimated more by and order of magnitude than the sum of all previous.

The theoretical idea is developing new strains so treatments can be developed before they hit from the wild. The actuality of it seems to be more WTF why not.

Yeah GoF needs to be put on the shelf in a dark room and locked up right next to "The Fly" and Jeff Goldblum.
