From your own link:
"When the Intercept obtained EcoHealth documents in September, seven of 11 scientists who are virologists or work in adjacent fields told the Intercept that the work appeared to meet NIH’s criteria for gain-of-function research"
So majority of scientists are on my side, minority on yours.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoBut exactly, the point is not to say that there is not gray area here (there is), but that the calls of "Fauci lied" and "prosecute Fauci" is what is bullshit. If you had measured people arguing in good faith that the CDC needs clearer procedures on banning this type of research, I'm all for it. But you don't, you have people shrieking that Fauci is responsible for the deaths of millions, which is nuts.
- bufferoverflow 4y agoIt's not a "gray area" minority of partisan scientists are pretending what they were doing is not a gain of function, when it obviously is.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoAh yes, you bring up data, only to paint the data that doesn't agree with you as "they're obviously partisan". Not interested in having a conversation with someone who isn't debating in good faith, or who paints all the data that doesn't agree with their preconceived notions as invalid.
