Dr Shi admitted they were studying to make viruses jump from one species to humans. That's "gain of function".
- lamontcg 5y agoShe states specifically that she was not doing GOF research into how to make viruses more virulent or jump species. You can study how viruses jump species without making them jump species. And if you disagree with that, do you have details of the experiments and how they were seeking to enhance existing viruses which goes beyond just speculation and circular logic?
- busymom0 5y agoHer statements were: > But in an email to the paper, Shi said her experiments differed from gain-of-function experiments since they did not seek to make a virus more dangerous. Instead they were trying to understand how the virus might jump across species. They have already been caught lying about not having any bats in the lab and so far they haven't been acting like someone who's innocent.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI don't see how your quote disagrees with what the OP said. It doesn't claim either that they had bats in the lab.
- busymom0 5y agoThey had bats in the lab. Australian media did an expose on that.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI can't find that, please provide a source.
