Unearthed Evidence Shows Fauci Defended ‘Integral’ Gain-Of-Function Research Despite Pandemic ‘Risks’.
MAY 28, 2021 NATALIE WINTERS


Writing for the American Society for Microbiology in October 2012, Fauci also posited that the risky form of research could “trigger” a pandemic:

“In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?”

“Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks,” he adds before alleging it is “more likely” that a pandemic would occur naturally in the paper first reported by The Australian’s Sharri Markson.

Fauci In 2012: Gain-Of-Function Research 'Worth Risk Of Lab Accident Sparking Pandemic'

America's top virologist, Anthony Fauci, argued in 2012 that the risks of a lab accident sparking a pandemic are outweighed by the potential benefits of manipulating viruses via gain-of-function research, according to previously unsurfaced remarks reported by Sharri Markson via The Australian.

 "In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?" Fauci wrote in the American Society for Microbiology in 2012, adding "Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?""Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks," Fauci continued. "It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky."

 

The experiments are also opposed by prominent scientists, including the Cambridge Working Group of 200 researchers which issued a public warning in 2014.

“Accident risks with newly created “potential pandemic pathogens” raise grave new concerns,” the group’s letter read. “Laboratory creation of highly transmissible, novel strains of dangerous viruses, especially but not limited to influenza, poses substantially increased risks.

An accidental infection in such a setting could trigger outbreaks that would be difficult or impossible to control. Historically, new strains of influenza, once they establish transmission in the human population, have infected a quarter or more of the world’s population within two years.”

And Steven Salzberg, of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in 2015 said the benefits of gain-of-function research were “minimal at best” and they could “far more safely be obtained through other avenues of research”.

“I am very concerned that the continuing gain-of-function research on influenza viruses, and more recently on other viruses, presents extremely serious risks to the public health,” he wrote.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT ANTONIO VITOLO; JAKE’S BAR AND GRILL, LLC, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. ISABELLA CASILLAS GUZMAN, Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Defendant-Appellee: OPINION THAPAR, Circuit Judge. This case is about whether the government can allocate limited coronavirus relief funds based on the race and sex of the applicants. We hold that it cannot.

OPINION
 _________________ 

THAPAR, Circuit Judge. This case is about whether the government can allocate limited coronavirus relief funds based on the race and sex of the applicants. We hold that it cannot. 

Thus, we enjoin the government from using these unconstitutional criteria when processing Antonio Vitolo’s application. 


It has been twenty-five years since the Supreme Court struck down the race-conscious policies in Adarand. And it has been nearly twenty years since the Supreme Court struck down the racial preferences in Gratz. As today’s case shows once again, the “way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” Parents Involved, 551 U.S. at 748 (plurality opinion).

The government shall fund the plaintiffs’ grant application, if approved, before all later-filed applications, without regard to processing time or the applicants’ race or sex. The government, however, may continue to give veteran-owned restaurants priority in accordance with the law. This preliminary injunction shall remain in place until this case is resolved on the merits and all appeals are exhausted.

The Fall of Saint Anthony Fauci & Anthony Fauci backed virus experiments ‘despite pandemic risk’

The Fall of Saint Anthony Fauci
By MICHAEL BRENDAN DOUGHERTY May 27, 2021
On the unforced errors of America’s most political doctor

If this is the last “conspiracy theory” and disinformation campaign to become transformed into the accepted wisdom — which may shortly occur — then Fauci will have to explain why it was that he accepted the role of Pandemic Hero in the first place. Or why he joined a phony and flimsy consensus that the virus had emerged in nature. Or why he so consistently downplayed the risks early on, given what he must have known or suspected the minute reports emerged of a coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. Given that he’s already told us he lies because the public isn’t ready for the truth, how likely are his denials to be believed?

Writing in the American Society for Microbiology in October 2012, Dr Fauci acknowledged the controversial scientific research could spark a pandemic.

Gain-of-function experiments – often with bat-derived coronaviruses – centre on manipulating, splicing and recombining viruses potentially into strands of highly infectious and little understood diseases.

This type of research carries such a risk of causing a pandemic that the Obama administration paused funding for gain-of-­function experiments in 22 fields in 2014, including those involving SARS, influenza and MERS.

In December 2017, the National Institute of Health, of which the NIAID is a part, announced it would resume funding the gain-of-function research.

TASSINARI, DEBRA O’MALLEY, AMY COHEN, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE ELECTION DIRECTORS, TWITTER, INC., all in their individual capacities, and WILLIAM FRANCIS GALVIN, in his official capacity as Secretary of State for Massachusetts, Defendants.

VERIFIED COMPLAINT & JURY DEMAND

Introduction 

This is a Complaint to redress the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' repeated violations of Plaintiff Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai's civil rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 16 of the Declaration of Rights of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

COUNT I 
Violations of the Freedom of Speech or Expression 

COUNT II 
Violations of the Right to Freedom of the Press 

COUNT III 
Violations of the Freedom to Petition the Government 

COUNT IV 
Violations of the Freedom to Peaceably Assemble 

COUNT V 
Violations of the Right to Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech Guaranteed by Article 16 ofthe Declaration ofRights of the Massachusetts Constitution 


PRAYER FOR RELIEF 

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff demands that Judgment be entered against the Defendant to compensate the Plaintiff for damages, and so that justice might be upheld as the Defendant violated the Plaintiffs Constitutionally-Guaranteed Rights, applicable to such parties, and order that the following damages be awarded: 
a. Damages for Loss of Liberty; 
b. Compensatory Damages; 
c. Punitive Damages; 
d. Attorney's fees; 
e. Court costs; 
f. Pre- and post-judgment interest; 
g. Injunctive relief; or 
h. Any such other relief as this Honorable Court might deem appropriate and equitable. 

Temporarv Restraining Order 

In addition to the relief requested above, the Plaintiff requests that this Court issue a Temporary Restraining Order, restraining the Defendant from again bidding Twitter to remove, ban, or otherwise silence the Plaintiff at least until the results of the race for the U.S. Senate are announced-likely by November 4, 2020, the day after election day. 
A restraining order is necessary because: 
The Plaintiff has a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of the case, since the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth has admitted it silenced the Plaintiff. 
Absent an injunction, the Plaintiff would suffer an irremediable loss of rights during his campaign for the U.S. Senate. While the Plaintiff has already lost essential time and means to campaign during his race for the 2020 U.S. Senate seat, the Plaintiff would incur even more losses if the Defendant were permitted to continue to violate the Plaintiff's constitutionally-guaranteed rights; and 
Granting this restraining order will serve the public interest, as it will preserve the public's ability to hear political speech and consider a public petition. 
Granting this restraining order will no prejudice the Defendant-as no harm may come to the government being preventing from silencing peaceful political speech.
