Trump ends funding for "Gain of function" research overseas.

 U.S. RESEARCH UNDER REVIEW

IS THE U.S. THE LEADER IN THIS RESEARCH?

It is reported that President Trump has issued an executive order ending funding for "Gain of Function" research overseas. This research is an endeavor to aid in the ability of animal viruses to be able to infect humans. So far, I have yet to hear a reasonable excuse for the reason for this research.

President Obama made a similar effort to ban research in the United States, then the National Institute of Health funded the research in Wuhan, China, were it is  suspected that the Covid-19 virus leaked from the lab. Again, no one is willing to answer the big question, WHY is this research being conducted.

In the last year, a University in Boston made the statement that they had been successful in creating a much more deadly and more infectious strain of Covid virus, no explanation as to value of this research.

We also learned that the U.S. has operated dozens of Virus and communicable disease labs in Ukraine, near the Russian border. Again, never a real explanation as to what they are doing.

One must wonder if this country is still engaging in dangerous biological warfare or population control research?

While Trump's order bans funding for overseas labs, it does not ban funding for domestic research, but does put it under review, hopefully we will get some explanation of the purpose of this research.

I would hope that not only funding is ended but the research should be banned worldwide, it does not appear to have any positive impact on the human race, only the increased chance of another leak or possibly intended use of these agents for negative consequences for humanity.
