There is little question that Fauci took the wrong road years before 2019. Evidence is mounting that he ignored warning calls from experts aware of the lethal risk, but instead chose to take a deliberate risk of human life that should not have been allowed to happen. National Institute of Health (over Fauci's NIAID's department) messed up majorly. They have questions to answer as well for their negligence.
"The new policy
outlines a framework that the HHS will use to assess proposed research that would create pathogens with pandemic potential. Such work might involve modifying a virus to infect more species, or recreating a pathogen that has been eradicated in the wild, such as smallpox.
There are some exceptions, however: vaccine development and epidemiological surveillance do not automatically trigger the HHS review."
"The goal is to standardize “
a rigorous process that we really want to be sure we’re doing right”, NIH director Francis Collins told reporters. Does the rigorous process include vaccine development and epidemiological surveillance or not? From Collin's public statement alone,
why exclude vaccine development?
Why exclude epidemiological surveillance or does the journalist have it wrong?
