If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:30.280
It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:35.280
That's why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:39.560
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:48.460
Dr. Redfield, I think a lot of people might say,
00:01:07.640
But if we had them in the U.S., we would close them.
00:01:12.820
on gain-of-function research, which expired in 2018.
00:01:16.360
My understanding is some exceptions were granted anyway
00:01:30.600
Do you think we should re-implement a moratorium
00:01:36.380
Yeah, I mean, the reason that I've taken the position
00:01:44.240
But I took this position because I feel very strongly
00:01:57.680
It's going to become from gain-of-function research
00:02:04.160
that is manipulated to be able to transmit human to human,
00:02:12.220
that they finally learned how to take their COVID virus
00:02:28.480
which is, I think, has a number of signature sequences
00:02:40.080
the fact that COVID right now can barely infect bats,
00:02:48.660
to be able to be highly transmissible among humans.
00:02:55.800
that largely was trying to make a vaccine vector
00:03:08.880
which was probably somewhere in the September timeframe.
00:03:22.720
and they put a contract in for a new ventilation system.
00:03:32.100
And I do think the gain-of-function research moratorium
00:04:03.400
because the potential good is greater than any harm,
00:04:59.620
that this pandemic was a direct consequence of science.
00:05:16.080
This obviously didn't come from the laboratory.
00:05:49.080
Tony's right that prior to gain-of-function research,
00:05:59.720
But now in the presence of gain-of-function research,
00:06:02.800
where you can take a pathogen into a laboratory
00:06:16.360
and I think it's going to be the great pandemic.
00:06:29.440
But I think the species barriers are very real,
00:06:33.200
but it's much more probable that it will happen
00:06:38.600
and then we're going to have a pandemic with flu,
00:07:03.340
The president obviously has to balance transparency
00:07:17.700
and added the Department of Energy to that list.
00:07:23.320
If we're talking about the beginning of his term.
00:07:31.360
Some of that has to be in a classified way right now.
00:07:40.580
and our obligation to protect national security.
