i can say with certainty that this is not an engineered virus that s man-made efforts to make it worse or was something that emerged from the animals? remember how the virus is already not just jumped to humans but look at how many animals we have infected. dogs, cats, gorillas, ferrets, rabbits. this is good at jumping so i think the verdict is still out. i don t know if we ll ever find out and to me it doesn t really matter other than the fact we have to understand laboratory safety for all viruses is huge but also is the fact that the animal kingdom is out there today. we re seeing new influenza viruses emerge right now. most people don t realize the fact that right now we have upwards of over 32 billion chickens on the face of the earth. half of all the body weight of
let me provide perspective. i served on the board for federal organization to oversee laboratory safety from 2005 to 2014. and i actually was one of the individual that is called into question some of the research with influenza viruses and potentially making them dangerous and would they leak out of the labs so i come at this from a natural inclination to think lab accidents can and do happen. but having said that i think that what we are seeing happen right now is not new information. it s basically weaponizing in a sense old information that s very incomplete with the idea that more people in the science world speak out because a year ago to speak out meant that you were supporting the president in this approach so i saw scientists backing off of that issue. still unclear whether or not there s a potential laboratory leak from the wuhan lab.
birds in the world is a chicken. 390 million pigs. all on the phase of the earth to feed the population and all comingled and spill viruses like flu as it could be the next pandemic. so i think we have to take both laboratory safety and the potential for a natural spillover very seriously and this is the wakeup call for that. and guarantees to continue to turn to you for expertise why thank you so much for making time for us today. thank you. next hour, dr. fauci will join us for more. what comes next in the fight to defeat covid and prevent another pandemic? breaking news from israel which could put an end to benjamin netanyahu s 12-year run as prime minister there. more on that next. more on that next.
Recipients of grants from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases headlined a Wuhan Institute of Virology conference focusing on “gain of function research and gene editing,” The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.
The May 2017 event was “co-organized by U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), CAS and Hubei Society for Microbiology.”
According to the Wuhan lab, the event had five academic sessions, the first of which was “gain of function research, gene editing, targeting and delivery and other novel biotechnology.”
Among the Americans in attendance as special guests were Professors Linda Saif, James LeDuc, and David Relman. Together, the three professors have received nearly 200 grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with 75 coming from Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
