I asked GPT and it said: "gain of function research has led to important scientific discoveries and medical advancements, such as the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines. Banning all gain of function research could have negative consequences for public health and scientific progress. While there is a possibility of a lab leak, it's important to note that not all gain of function research is created equal. There are different levels of risk involved, and not all research carries the same level of risk for accidental release or deliberate misuse. There are strict guidelines and regulations in place to ensure that the research is conducted safely and responsibly. These regulations include stringent biosafety protocols and oversight by independent committees to evaluate the risks and benefits of proposed research."
