米国NIHは病原菌の研究(Gain of Functions)への関与を認めた!

米国NIH(National Institutes of Health)は2021年10月20日に自社Webで上記を発表。

 

これは「アメリカがCovid-19の責任の、少なくとも一部、は負っている」という衝撃的なニュースであるが、アメリカや日本のメディアは報道しない。なぜか?

 

ファウチ博士はアメリカ議会で「そんなこと(gain of functions関与)をやっていない」と証言していたが、ファウチ博士は偽証罪で告発されるべき。

 

以下に該当部分を引用するが「limited」や「reasonably ancitipated to」等のあいまいな表現で断定をさけてるようだが、結論は「NIHは関与していた」。

 

これは世紀の大ニュースである。

--------NIHの上記記事からの引用------

On limited occasions, when justified by compelling public health need and conducted in very high biosecurity laboratories, NIH has supported certain research that may be reasonably anticipated to create, transfer or use potential pandemic pathogens resulting from the enhancement of a pathogen’s transmissibility and/or virulence in humans. The U.S. Government and the Department of Health and Human Services define such research as enhanced potential pandemic pathogen (ePPP) research. NIH-supported ePPP research requires strict oversight and may only be conducted with appropriate biosafety and biosecurity measures. This research can help us understand the fundamental nature of human-pathogen interactions, assess the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents such as viruses and inform public health and preparedness efforts, including surveillance and the development of vaccines and medical countermeasures. While such research is inherently risky and requires strict oversight, the risk of not doing this type of research and not being prepared for the next pandemic is also high. While ePPP research is a type of so called “gain-of-function” (GOF) research, the vast majority of GOF research does not involve ePPP and falls outside the scope of oversight required for research involving ePPPs.
