“Gain of function” is the innocuous sounding term for the manipulation of a toxic virus to make it more toxic. Gain of function is essentially the weaponization of a virus to make it more lethal and explore the consequences of the biological outcome. Because there are risks this type of research could produce a dangerous pandemic virus that would escape the biolab environment, “gain of function” research was previously banned.
As the COVID-19 pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) now appears to have originated as an outcome of “gain of function” research, White House spokesperson for strategic policy, John Kirby, is asked if Joe Biden supports that type of biological experimentation. Kirby delivers a lot of words, but eventually admits, yes, the White House supports experiments with viruses to make them more dangerous. WATCH:
First, Pfiser exec goes ballistic, after saying on tape that “gain of function, by any other name, IS the same (and they are doing it) now Bidens Kirby says its great, too.
what tape is that?
Project Veritas on Rumble. It is what ended the work of James O’Keefe at PV.
Of course, “necessary” to remove James O’Keefe in order to stop the flow of “opposition” truth. PV experienced a coup with the purpose of blocking the truth of Fauci’s “Science” being proven lies used to control/manipulate millions of people that believed in the lies!
Can you link to or give more detail on who said that and when?
Don’t be so lazy. Use the internet.
Here, I’ll make this easy for you:

Most of the time comments like the one you responded to are trolls looking to discredit (IDK if that’s the case here). You killed that attempt by posting the link.
My point- don’t assume people are being lazy. Sometimes they hope you don’t respond and they use that as proof you’re full of it. It’s very common on tge Twit, FB, and other platforms.
And also, sometimes people agree or disagree with you on one issue, only to have the opposite on the next issue. Just because someone has a particular view does not make them generally a “leftist” “socialist” or any term you might use to disparage someone when you can’t get them to swing around to your position on a certain topic. And vice versa.
One big thing I learned since 2020 is – It’s okay to disagree – possibly even healthy.
If not, you may be in the wrong company.
I laughed at the willful ignorance / idiocy.
Jane,
I’ll give everyone a chance until they burn our bridge of trust.
PV-James O’keefe broke a story on a Pfizer senior vaccine researcher, on a date with a dude-PV reporter, claiming to engage in “Directed Evolution” making infections more deadly but critical to the discussion was the mRNA gene therapy was impacting the Hypothalamic-gonad-hormone axis
The shirt stain claims to not understand how this is occurring. The effect could be detrimental to human reproduction and the FDA panel that approved mRNA gene therapy down to 6 mos was not provided this nor the long list of serious adverse reactions including death in the healthy 49 and below who have no benefit from injection with initial Covid and much less so with current (URI grade) variants.
Link to the researcher flipping out locking the door claiming he’s a liar and breaking James’ tablet provided below.
Of note is how swiftly his digital footprint was erased from the public domain…. With at least one “fact checker” disputing the video as the person could not be linked to Pfizer, swiftly destroyed by the public as no one would speak at Pfizer.

Do the math.
Why would you pay attention to ANYTHING Kirby says?? the guy has no idea what Truth is
There is no scientific difference between gain of function research and bio-weapons research. The only actual difference is what the people sponsoring and conducting the research claim is the intended application.
That’s why the labs were moved to other countries. So the REALLY dirty work could begin. With our funding, of course.
i.e. Ukraine
In fact, it is not legal to carry out this type of research in the U.S.
Not true. It is being done and always has been. It is just covert. If they know it is being done, forget what the law says, they are upholding their own version of the law. Matters not what any citizen thinks.
And to the DOE, where no one would expect to find them.
My sense is that a low lethality illness is actually a more desirable wmd than a completely lethal one. You want to debilitate the enemy at the right moment but then be able to use your troops to overrun that region.
John Kirby seems to pride himself on not being very smart.
I believe him. But who pays for all those nice suits?
Maybe what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for with his slimy subterfuge.
It’s true. Somewhere a village is missing their idiot.
Feigning idiocy/incompetency. Works for many in government.
Will have to slightly disagree on one point. A ‘gain of function’ mutation is one that imparts new/different properties to any gene. It is not specific for toxic viruses, though the term has been co-opted by the MSM/Fauci/govermnent in a way that makes one think it applies only to toxic viruses.
In basic research, ‘gain of function’ mutations are often quite useful in gaining insight into the function of a particular gene, who it might interact with, etc. Gain of function experiments to increase lethality, host range, transmissibility, etc. of toxic or potentially toxic pathogens under the guise of ‘we want to be able to predict the next epidemic’ are criminal. Just because a scientist ‘can’ do something, doesn’t mean it must be done.
Probably didn’t mean it that way in the post, but that’s how it comes across (at least to me),
Having followed the amazing Stephen Meyer build his case for intelligent design upon such books as Signature In The Cell and having read a great deal on the topic by other authors and the amazing James Tour discuss the state of chemistry, I have a fairly good grasp of the state of science in this area and guys playing with the genetic code they don’t understand to learn about it is understandable but, it is scary also because we know human nature and we know mistakes happen and we know sometimes all the precaution in the world avails nothing. The state of science is really pretty dismal for the most part with too many spending their lives trying to prove what they want to believe rather than gaining knowledge and following the evidence. Tnis is due to that culprit human nature. We see it in all its splendor in climate change and the study of genes is little farther along and as divorced from reality most likely.
You only have to be moderately intelligent to understand what happened before and during the rollout of COVID-19. Even the totalitarian objectives for the rollout are quite easy to understand. It only takes a limited amount of research understand the objectives and outcomes of what the totalitarians hope to achieve.
So why are the totalitarians releasing this information now? Is the dam finally breaking, or is this a new and more complex implementation strategy?
I thought I read that Fauci started this…Obama said..no but as soon as Trump was elected Obama took off the ban. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Was this a grand “coup” in multiple ways?
“Hey, here’s a really bad virus that will cil people!! Let’s see if we can make it mega strong to REALLY cil people!!!
John Kirby has shark eyes. They are dead and lifeless, when he smiles it’s creepy.
Like the goosebumps dummy my kids watched
Very familiar with Slappy from Goosebumps in my house. Lol nice obscure reference!
They have to say it’s AOK now, since they have been, and never stopped doing it. They created Sars COV-2 and caused the plandemic. The word is out, so now it’s PYA time.
Disgusting, evil psychopaths, the lot of them!
Oh…and CHINA did it! 😉🙄
Kirby’s persona is the epitome of a feckless, hen-pecked shell of a pathetic man. And I use the term”man” very loosely.
Whatever garbage he is peddling is simply not watchable.
Of course they support it! They have every intention of eradicating “us” (the conservatives, older people, white people, etc.) and replacing us with a less civilized, more easily controlled populace they can eradicate when they want.
They are planning on exterminating us. Remember what this federal government did to the Native American Indian population? Remember what they did to the black race in the 50’s -70’s? They have never made a promise they kept. I don’t forget that Hillary was telling donors one thing and the public a different story. That’s what we have here. It is a global onslaught of people they consider beneath them.
Evil bastards.
Bad enough when highly educated and skilled professionals play “G@d”.
But Biden and team…… …
Lord help us!!
it appears that the modern technique is a slow, stealthy and carefully worded rollout acknowledging every evil deed and lie (complicity in wuhan/GoF, masks, lockdowns, vaccines, etc.). As long as you do it this way the majority of the public eats their well prepared crap sandwich without complaint.
Gain of function research to make microorganisms more toxic or lethal does not prevent future pandemics. That is a lie.
There is no justification whatsoever for creating bioweapons that kill innocent human beings.
SARS COV2 is/was a bioweapon.
The vaccines are also bioweapons, causing more adverse effects and deaths than all previous vaccines combined.
The US and other countries were put under a reign of terror that convinced otherwise reasonable people to accept home imprisonment, and to accept a drug that had not been adequately safety tested as their only means of escape from imprisonment.
The pandemic was planned, and resulted in a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite 0.1%.
The government paid hospitals for every COVID 19 diagnosis and paid them three times as much for every COVID 19 patient put on a ventilator. Most of those put on ventilators died.
The government tried to destroy the careers of doctors who wanted to treat their COVID 19 patients at home with repurposed drugs.
The only reason for the government to refuse the use of repurposed drugs such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine was that the vaccine makers would not have been able to get an Emergency Use Authorization for their toxic shots. You cannot get an EUA if other drugs are available that can treat a disease.
Thus doctors and hospitals were controlled by the government and doctors knew they could lose their admitting privileges or medical licenses if they treated their patients with medicines that worked and were safe. Doctors have estimated that hundreds of thousands of people died unnecessarily due to withheld early treatment.
These actions by individuals in the government constitute Crimes Against Humanity.
Americans can now submit their letter for indictment for Crimes Against Humanity here: https://www.flemingmethod.com/
Gain of function research to make microorganisms more toxic or lethal does not prevent future pandemics. That is a lie.
CORRECT. It’s more likely to CAUSE them. The extensive PDF I linked to below is filled with examples of lab leaks BEFORE SARS-CoV-2.
As a former insider who should know, Dr. Robert Malone has said that “biodefense” gain-of-function research = BIOWEAPONS gain-of-function research. It’s the giant loophole around the loophole filled bioweapons treaty. Dr. Malone lists the required fixes (which won’t be made) to that treaty in his book, “Lies My Gov’t Told Me.”
Thinning out the Chattel, especially the older.
NOT “just the flu.” And it’s not over. China should suffer the consequences for creating it and intentionally allowing it to spread. Same for everyone in the West involved in funding it, treatment suppression, and the Warp Speed injection creation fraud.

A possible way to prevent or treat lung damage associated with long COVID
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-02-lung-covid.html
Called long COVID, the damage wrought by the virus can occur in a variety of organs, including the brain, the heart and the lungs. In this new effort, the team in California noted that more than 200 people have undergone lung transplants due to the damage done by a COVID-19 infection. Suspecting that it might have a genetic basis, the group undertook a sequencing study comparing such patients with others who had no such damage.
https://www.youtube.com/live/CMSz209wV8g?feature=share
It was created by the U.S.
I watched a show the other day, I think it was called Innocent or Guilty. It was about a man who was driving his pickup truck to work, in the mid afternoon, along a stretch of two lane highway in upper peninsula Michigan, and he hit a road crew worker in the road, pushing him into another pickup truck on the road behind him. He sliced the man in half between the two trucks.
The gubt went after him for murder and his lawyer when talking to him about what he remembered of the accident found out he had blacked out before the accident. The 1st thing the man remembered was coming to consciousness in his truck and he couldn’t breathe, he managed to get his door open, and fell out on the ground and was finally able to breathe. At that point, another road worker came up asking where the other road worker was, and that is when they realized he was partially between the two trucks.
Turns out, this not being able to breathe had happened to the man about a week before and this was Dec 2020. I am immediately thinking China Virus, and all the breathing problems I had, and still have on occasion. He had gone to a doctor and the doctor said he had a paralyzed diaphragm and that they needed to operate, but because of all the China Virus nonsense it was put off for a month or two. The doctor never said don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle and he never even tho’t about it. Then the accident.
The attorney brought in a medical specialist in this area and at trial the jury thankfully saw the light and found him innocent of any crimes alleged. He never braked, not even once, and he was on cruise control at 55 mph. There were no skidmarks and he was still driving straight on a straight road. He never swerved either. China Virus was never mentioned, but in hindsight it could/should have been.
All you have to do is look up this ailment and COVID is widely mentioned as a cause.
Don’t worry about nuclear war. That has to be CHOSEN.
Worry about GREED and STUPIDITY resulting in another, fat more deadly pandemic by accident.
“Gain-of-function” biodefense efforts are the loophole around the loophole filled bioweapons treaty as detailed by Dr. Robert Malone. Biodefense development = BIOWEAPONS development. So, good luck with that ban until some SUPER lethal engineered virus escapes a lab…
Lab leaks have been common and not just in China. The first link is a PDF with a nice list of them:

Lab Accidents Prompt Calls for New Containment Program
SCIENCE – 28 May *2004* – Vol 304, Issue 5675 – pp. 1223-1225
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.304.5675.1223a
While breathing a sign of relief that the latest outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in China is over, health officials are still deeply troubled that they have not pinpointed the original source of the infection. They are also questioning whether research on the virus should be restricted to prevent further lab accidents.
Investigators are convinced that the infections in April involved two separate biosafety lapses within the Institute of Virology at China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Beijing. But they have been unable to pin down what went wrong. With four separate infections within the last year at three different institutions in Beijing, Singapore, and Taipei, health experts fear that the next SARS epidemic may be more likely to emerge from a research lab than from the presumed animal reservoir. [Doh! – W]
On that more lethal virus thing:
Dr. Steven Quay Joins Hearing on Virus Research Funding
Aug 8, 2022
Excerpt starting at 4:36. The Chinese accidentally gave away the proof of this in a very interesting way and it was cleverly caught:
Six. In December 2019 the Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting synthetic biology research on the nipah virus which is 60 percent lethal in low containment blsa 2,3 facilities. The nipa virus was in a infectious clone format. Nipah is a blsa 4 level pathogen and a CDC designated bioterrorism agent. This is the most dangerous gain of function research I have ever encountered. We should assume this research continues to this day at the WIV.
On C-Span in case it goes away on YouTube:
https://www.c-span.org/video/?522133-1/hearing-virus-research-funding
So, IMO, extinction level asteroid impacts or even nuclear war aren’t the main threats to the survival of the human race.
Engineered pathogens are.
Yes, Virginia, we ARE stupid enough to destroy ourselves…
Quoting the Russel Casse character in the movie Independence Day (who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in his past):
“Good God! I’ve been sayin’ it. I’ve been sayin’ it for ten damn years. Ain’t I been sayin’ it, Miguel? Yeah, I’ve been sayin’ it.”
***
I’ve also been saying it for years. Going back to the early “stem cell research” days:
If they make illegal something the government wants to do, the the government will still do it; but in secret and by “partnering” with other countries.
(Apply that filter to anything and everything else our corrupt government does).
Never for even one moment did I ever think the USA was not doing “gain of function” research.
Of course they were. No way they’d be left out of the action, just because it’s “illegal”.
Another way of putting this, experiments in development of depopulation.
gain of function, def. make more deadly, worse.
Why did Barack Hussein Obama issue the order to restrict gain of function research? Since the challenge to show that he has ever done anything based on honest commitment to America remains open, we should be asking, “what was the motivation for that?” I read yesterday that DARPA began investing in experimental RNA technology in 2011
(https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/02/the_us_government_created_the_vaccine_did_it_also_create_the_virus.html)
The same article asks the leading question, was the pandemic an accidental or intentional event to provide a clinical trial for DARPA’s mRNA technology? Did the article lead to retired Rear Admiral Kirby (who took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies) appearing behind the microphone to launch the deflection campaign?
Kudos and credit to commenter “Allen” from Political Moonshine’s substack https://politicalmoonshine.substack.com/
The more I investigate and research, the more I agree with his analysis which I’ve copied below.
“This is utter horsesh#t. Li-Meng Yan is as trustworthy as a wooden nickel. You don’t just “show up” on the Tucker Carlson show who is also not to be trusted.
“Lab leak” confirmed? Who didn’t see this coming. Total garbage.
You’re being played. It’s an “approved” story. They want you obsessing over origin. It’s a distraction from the policy-related slaughter of the last 3-years. It preserves the “pandemic preparedness industry” via which big corporates can siphon trillions from taxpayers.
There was no “lab leak.” There was no “biowarfare strike” either. There was no pandemic- Full Stop. These are all distractions.
There was no pandemic ever- there is no “lab leak”- there is no “unique viral pathogen”- there is no “China Virus”- there is no “bioweapon”- There is no “There” there. It is all fraud piled on top of fraud.
It is all a massive intel/military/psyop operation by the US-led West designed to wipe out the global economy and install a digitized control structure in the context of a ‘hot’ geopolitical economic war against China that is being waged by the West.
All of this as the Western financial system was in total freefall culminating in the Repo crisis of 2019
Anyone rolling out or parroting these lies is directly responsible for fomenting war with China.
That you or anyone would believe a story rolled out on the same day by the NY Times, WaPo, Wall St. Journal etc. indicates you selectively choose which lies to believe. That you don’t recognize this as a psyop when the “sources” are professional liars is profoundly troubling.
The entire narrative around the “China virus” or “CCP this” or “CCP that” is US State Department propaganda. The entire story that has been swallowed about China during these past three years is propaganda mainly churned out by the National Endowment for Democracy.
It’s just warmed over “yellow peril” BS just as the Russia bashing is the post-modern version of “The Red Scare.”
The Covid Operation is one of Western multinational organizations (WHO, NATO, IMF, World Bank, GAVI, US-AID, NED, etc.) attempting to halt the dissolution of the US and allies as global cop and to maintain dollar hegemony/petrodollar as the world’s currency.
You got the right-wing reactionaries answering the call of the “yellow peril” dog whistle and the retarded liberal wokesters supporting Nazis in the Ukraine.
America is a certified nuthouse.
And too many US citizens still haven’t figured out that they are being shafted every minute of the day not by Putin or Xi but by a bunch of English speaking bureaucrats that live right here in the DC swampland and the technocrats from Brussels and London.
That both Russia and China have their countries encircled by another nation’s military, a nation (the US) that has a history of unremitting bloodshed against people of the world over the past century and more should be an obvious clue.”
The engineered destruction of human life by the minions of Belial.
Pharma owns the govt. Period.
They are determined to kill us.
This should not come as any surprise when we consider “Operation Paperclip” that brought some 1600 Nazi scientists to the U.S. following WW 2. These scientists built our space program but many of them were key Nazi scientists of Hitler’s regime working on bio-weapons and who had experimented on the prisoners in the death camps. No doubt they brought the same scientific knowledge to the United States. Many of these same scientists brought to America were probably part of the Nazi plan outlined in the Red House Report which was devised by Nazi leaders when they understood that Germany would not win the war. It was a plan for a fourth German Reich (empire) that would be more of an economic empire but would also be a major military force in the world. Germany is the economic powerhouse of the EU and the fact they have openly acknowledge their decision to re-arm militarily should put fear in the hearts of us all.
And yet, still nobody being implicated for prosecution for bio-weapon manufacturing.
I believe it will never happen.
So this administration advocates for effing with viruses to make them more lethal. And why would one want to do that unless they intended to use it? Well, we know now they will…and have! These people are our ENEMIES! They want to sicken and kil us. Why? So we are controlled easily, cant put up a fight when they bring down America, or just dead! There are certain facts
Sundance needs to add a very key sentence to his article, describing “gain of function” and “weaponization” of a virus.
It goes far beyond evolving the virus into more dangerous forms … “gain of function” and “weaponization” includes making a virus DEPLOYABLE by vectors. This is the significance of the mRNA as well as other genetic material and chemical bonding described in the patents for COVID and associated “vaccines”.
The virus is NOT the dangerous part of COVID nor are the viral elements of other shamdemic viruses to come. It is the genetic materials and chemicals added that enable DEPLOYMENT, which includes the ability to impact the Targets.
However, such research is not legal in the U.S. Not that this administration cares.
They will murder all of us, one way or another. They are selling us out to world domination.
US Committed to WHO Pandemic Accord, Ambassador Says
By Chase Smith
28 Feb 2023
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-committed-to-who-pandemic-accord-ambassador-says_5088716.html
So they’re “supporting” what they, and everyone else knows is a bioweapon designed for the purpose of depopulation as they continue their war against America. Expect more of this type of “honesty”, or rather hubris in the future. I am.
Every GOF produced virus and vaccine is the end product of a lot of patents. Each patent means money to the scientist that constructs it. COVID is not an exception, but an example with at least 73 patents. Stretching from the U.S. to the CCP.
Now, who would you say is guilty? The person who invents the trigger, the person who invented the bullets or perhaps the person who invented the handle or the person or organization who paid for all the parts.
But wait, one last person is missing. What person or organization that came up with the design.
COVID was designed for a purpose starting around 2014. What good was a virus without a vaccine?
Good points to remember.
Plans were prepared and Hillary was not supposed to lose…
To think how things changed so much after that fateful escalator ride.
The man is an imbecile and of course at the highest levels of power in our federal autocracy. Secession. Secession. Secession.
Do you think our GOF problems are contained?
How many more have been designed and how many more are setting on the shelf ready for release?
That is the most asinine answer ever !
If you were Russia and these GOF labs sat on your border. What would your reaction be?
Computational biology that imagines it has manipulative therapeutic power is at the root of this madness. And that’s being courteous. We cannot describe the coordinated workings of a single cell, much less an entire organism, and yet we have contrived phrases like “gain of function” to provide cover for the undaunted hubris by intellectualoids in lab coats who have found DNA novelty a playground. Complexity in biology is not addressed by gain of function, it is run over by a steam roller that has military applications putting the weight and the money down.
We are at War, with the demonic swamp rats whether we like it or not.
I did not get myself one of those shiny history degrees so the following too might make little sense to Mr. Kirby.
Rather than doing gain of function in order to understand the potential for future pandemic outbreaks (whoopsie, lab leak), why not try gain of de-function and learn how to stop potential pandemics right now?
After all, the brakes on a car are developed to slow and stop a vehicle, not make it go faster.
What am I missing?
Kirby is the DoD spokesman who fills in for the current press secratary or shows up when they need somebody competent.
Also even BHO that itvwas bad ju ju and banned it. Barry may be many things, but he isn’t foolish enough to let that go
Until they are arrested, tried for their crimes, found guilty and executed, this evil will continue.
What insanity. They will create something that makes nukes look like toys.
Maybe somebody can find out how well this guy did in school. Yes, he wears a suit, has some important job and a title, but gee, his expression is one of someone as completely lost as the other characters in this clown show. Just take a look.
interesting theory re: Mo$$ad assets & covid bioweapon$
https://stateofthenation.co/?p=158279
You get two options, both false. Either a bat or a lab. No one bothers to ask for proof SARS-CoV-2 exists, or if they do, they are called nutjobs. This is how it works. It doesn’t exist but they have to convince you GoF is a thing so you will buy into their next plandemic, which is coming as sure as night follows day. They will probably claim it was a bioterrorist working for either China or Russia who unleashes it. Or they will use the non-existent avian flu virus or the non-existent Marburg virus and their fraudulent PCR tests to get the numbers. At this point, they can go with hundreds of different options. This is how dumb it is getting.
Does John Kirby have a strong resemblance to Mike Wallace? Facially too.
Pfizer=pfuneral.
Now that we KNOW that the COVID jabs are being pushed with the end to LOWER the global population numbers, is it any wonder that we now KNOW that the evil faux Biden regime is supporting gain of function virus manipulation?
If the cause is evil, the left is supportive of it & most likely behind it.
Next question.
Oh, & when the tribunals & executions start happening & are made public, I’d also like to see these bastards jabbed multiple times with the worst of the worst “vaccines” & then turn the cameras on them for about 1-3 days to document the suffering that they are actually experiencing.
These politicians (starting with Fauci) areevil…Fauci needs to be brought before Congreess to asnwer questions of about his misdeeds as far back as the initial AIDS crisis…where he ran the exact same game plan- any notable scientist who disagreed with his (flawed and incorrect) understanding of AIDS was cancelled and defunded- and millions of young men died because Fauci could not accept that ANYONE but him was right…this replayed when Covid hit- and now that Fauci is gone we are hearing what those of us with ANY sense knew all along: there WAS NO pangalon, Covid was created by gain of function in a CHinese lab financed by Fauci – the CHinese government let people from Wuhan travel all over the world spreading it…and Fauci lied to us all about the vaccines, about masks, about other therapuetics. He needs to be brought before Congress- presented with the facts, not allowed to shout down his accusers, and then have his pension stripped. He has been an evil force in government for almost half a century
They get away with all of their shit in plain sight.
Oxen eyed media just stares.
Kind of a Catch 22.
He HAS to agree because Hunter is involved.
If he says it’s too dangerous, his kid gets in bigger trouble.
