Is It "Fauci" or "Frankenstein"?

By now anyone who cares knows that Dr. Fauci authorized and spent US dollars on the Kung Flu, those dollars going to the Wuhan bio-weapons lab in Communist China.

The research he funded had been prohibited in the US; it was "gain-of-function" research--analogous to moving from the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb--and the US didn't want that happening on its own soil.

"Gain-of-function":  altering natural pathogens to make them more deadly and infectious–as a result of rising fears about a possible pandemic caused by accidental or deliberate release of these genetically engineered... germs.

It's an open question as to whether Fauci's action was a violation of US law.

And there's another question:  to what end did Fauci push more of this research?
