Title: Can a virus be made in a lab?
Post by: Ellaaaaa on 24/12/2020 16:07:05
Making a virus
Like aids it was made from gorilla
what happens if we mix and match animal eggs and animal semen together or
airborne H5N1 influenza virus strain (“bird flu”) that has been  genetically altered to be easily transmissible (between ferrets, which  mostly closely mimic the human response to flu), and which if released,  could trigger an influenza pandemic, quite possibly with many millions  of deaths?
OK, it seems like a totally evil idea, one that even Dr. Josef  Mengele, the “angel of death,” probably wouldn’t have hatched. But not  to virologist Dr. Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, who wants to publish a paper describing how he did it, Science Insider reveals.

What was that internet convention? The first one to reference the WW2 Nazis loses the argument....

...of course, that convention may have been invented by neo-Nazis or other right-wing groups, trying to get everyone to forget the past, so they can repeat it!

What has fertilisation got to do with "gain of function" experiments?

For 3 years, from 2014 to 2017, the USA declared a moratorium on Federal funding on Gain-Of-Function research.
- This research could continue outside the USA. Privately-funded organisations could continue such research, even in the USA.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-08837-7

A recent conference tried to define what types of Gain Of Function experiments may be helpful, and where they may be dangerous.

This definitely belongs in "That CAN'T be true!"

Do you have any actual evidence to support your claims?
