    Bill G adding to his virological post... Let's just say it's a bit like Angie and Alex C-C greatest hits, but amped up with insights from close to 5 decades of actual virology.

    "No matter what eDim says, this is "unequivocally" *not* gain of function." That's exactly what I told Politifact - not sure what they will come up [prob something like yes chimeric viruses were made but it's not GoF] yeah - simply making a chimeric virus in not GoF. If it was we'd not have J&J, AstroZenica or for that matter a Sputnik C19vaccines. Similar restrictions called for by the GMO crowd would make most gene therapy for cancer illegal andGMO crops would not continue to be be a major force for good in improving food inequities/decreasing pesticideuse.

    He really is that - well - dim, but it also would not shock me to find out that he's getting paid by the word, tweet and news article citation.
