'Yes, we did' fund Wuhan gain-of-function research, 'virtually every lab' does it: NIH official
2024-05-18
[JustTheNews] "The broad definition is lab jargon" without regulatory relevance, and it's not dangerous, Lawrence Tabak tells COVID subcommittee. GOP reads from damning unreleased emails about evading FOIA, misleading NIH.

National Institutes of Health Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak found himself in a Clintonian callback at a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing Thursday on NIH oversight of funding that may have helped unleash the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This is sort of like what the definition of 'is' is," Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, deadpanned as Tabak distinguished between the broad definition of gain-of-function research on a "news and events" page NIH erased between Oct. 19 and 21, 2021, and the narrow definition its regulators use for grant approval and compliance on a replacement page.

#6  "The broad definition is lab jargon," Tabak answered when Meeks asked why NIH doesn't use a "universally employed" definition. "It's just the way scientists speak," whereas the narrow definition "is the important one" for oversight purposes, he said.

Wow.

Scientists, real Scientists, don't talk like that. Lawyers and Con Men talk like that.

So let's unpack this luggage. uhem.

"Every bio research facility we are associated with, directly and by career, is in the business of creating bio-weapons."

#1  "...and asked Republicans to stop "sowing extreme conspiratorial accusations" that "public health leaders" triggered a pandemic and then covered up its origin."

How about we'll stop right after the last of you bastards have swung from a lamp post.
