Hotez’s own 2012 to 2017 NIH grant for the development of a SARS vaccine had the stated aim of responding to any “accidental release from a laboratory,” in addition to a possible zoonotic spillover of the virus.

As part of his NIH grant, Hotez subcontracted funding for research on combined or “chimeric” coronaviruses, a scientific paper shows. Hotez’s grant underwrote two of Shi’s collaborators on the project. [Shi headed the Wuhan lab's coronavirus modification project].

In the 2017 paper co-funded by Hotez, Shi and her colleagues generated a recombinant virus from two SARS-related coronaviruses: “rWIV1-SHC014S.” It’s not clear whether the paper co-funded by Hotez should have been stopped under a temporary “pause” on gain-of-function work before 2017.

Much trustworthy. Don't ask questions! Consume product!!!

I still think that the amazing revelations about Wuhan are a diversion from gain-of-function research and lab leaks in the U.S.

The absolute silence about domestic operations, or even those in Ukraine and elsewhere, is highly suspicious.

Yeah. The CCP don't anyone investigating their collaborating with the United States on gain-of-function research.

He now says that getting 'tag-teamed' on Twitter has been "overwhelming," telling MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan (after an establishment support strike was called in) "You know, the attacks from the anti-vaccine lobby do come in waves."

Good old Peter Hotez. I think someone needs to tell him: " 'Lobby'. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

The "anti-vaccine lobby"? Are there actually K Street lobbyists who go to Capitol Hill and schmooze and arm-twist (and commit bribery, like all good lobbyists do in D.C.) to get lawmakers to be "anti-vaccine"? What, exactly are they getting lawmakers to do, or not do, that constitutes "anti-vaccine"?

And who is paying those lobbyists to do that? Those folks don't work for free. Who, exactly, is Dr. Peter Hotez accusing of paying Big Bucks to lobbying firms to get them to engage in their "anti-vaccine" lobbying shenanigans?

(Those are mostly rhetorical questions, done within the context of sarcasm. The more I see and hear of Peter Hotez, the more ignorant and buffoonish he appears to be.)
