      @@cornebod although I do agree that it is weaponizing the virus in a way, I think that's not the intention of the research. What I mean by that is that it is weaponized, yes, but not in a way that it was intended to be some bio weapon or something like that. It's mentioned in the video that gain of function research is used to better understand the virus and to better prepare us in case the virus causes a pandemic. However, despite the good intention, I don't feel comfortable supporting this kind of thing because this doesn't seem safe. But idk I'm not a virologist so what do I know 🤷‍♀️

      A gain-of-function gives the virus greater function. Which is why COVID-19 isnt going to be stopped by the current vaccines. And notice how they're using vaccines that are based off the original variant and not the newer strains? They have NO intention of stopping this pandemic.

    A long time ago when I was a Masters's student, my project was to mix two viruses and make a new one and study the infectivity and other characters of the new virus. We were dealing with the loss of function research where you hope to generate a harmless virus. Recombinant viruses are a core and routine thing for thousands of virology labs around the world and it is an exciting prospect for virologists. The experiments are pretty easy for anyone with basic biology lab experience. Most of the time these studies are done in BSL 2 facilities. I have always wondered, what if we unleashed a monster virus through these studies.

    The WHO has had a deplorable role in this health crisis. Why did they try to cover up chinese errors from the beggining? The US, China and other countries must be absolutely transparent and fully disclose these activities. Next pandemic could be the last for humankind.

    Put in other words, gain of function means disabling limitations given by nature... compare Goethe "Der Zauberlehrling" (~the apprentice of magic)
    We do not even manage viruses in PC, we should stick to our boundaries.

    • @terra8511
      @terra8511 3 года назад

      Its not in our human nature to be restrained by boundaries. Getting to know things and trying to understand everything starts when youre born and only ends at the moment of death. Research will always be done if youre not being restrained by a power other than possible death from your experiments but by lets say the government. And if theres a use for it, be it for the military or for economical advantages, they wont stop anyone.

    • @adamgoodword7888
      @adamgoodword7888 3 года назад

      Interesting view but not quite correct.
      Gain Of Function vs. Loss Of Function, means that a harmless to human virus becomes harmful to humans.
      It's not so much about disabling or even removing limitations but enhancing the virus so that it can work in the human body.
      Think of it as a fish hook. If a fish hook becomes stretched and straightens out then it loses its function and can no longer hook into fish. This is Loss-of-Function.
      A normal fish hook will hook into fish.
      But a Gain-of-Function fish hook will have multiple hooks added to it so that it can hook into more things.
      The Flu is a loss of function virus.
      COVID-19 is the result of the bat corona virus being enhanced so that it became infections to humans. It was given gain-of-function. Which is why COVID is known as Gain-of-Function.
      The fact that it is mutating is also a result of gain-of-function.

    • @Calligraphybooster
      @Calligraphybooster 3 года назад

      @TheDoubleLibra Yes, I am aware of these things. My point was that we do whatever even is but slightly effective to get the virus down, because we have to, or suffer the consequences of it mutating constanly in the population. And facemasks are worn to protect the community. If two are naked and one starts to pee, the other may get wet. He can put on a pair of jeans, but then still gets wet. If however the one peeing wears jeans, no-one beside the pee-er gets wet.
