===Gain of function===

In a 2012 scientific paper, Fauci argued that the alleged benefits resulting from gain of function research outweighed the risks.<ref>https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1398286881306128402</ref>  Fauci's reasoning was that the probability of a pandemic arising in nature was greater than a viral pathogen escaping from a lab, or his trusted communist partners in the [[Peoples Liberation Army]] using it as an offensive biological weapon.<ref>https://youtu.be/_Rt_dcAh8JI</ref>

In March 2018, Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance submitted a funding request to the [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA) for bat coronavirus research but it was rejected as too dangerous.<ref>https://twitter.com/VigilantFox/status/1480740626161414145,/ref>  Fauici however, picked up the project and funded it to be continued at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and in [[North Carolina]]. Fauci's reasoning was that the probability of a pandemic arising in nature was greater than a viral pathogen escaping from a lab, or his trusted communist partners in the [[Peoples Liberation Army]] using it as an offensive biological weapon.<ref>https://youtu.be/_Rt_dcAh8JI</ref>
