The perspective from a credentialed scientist snd professor who has opposed GoFRoC/ePPP for decades:

Daszak falsely denied involvement in GoFRoC/ePPP/DURC, didn't disclose EH's DEFUSE, orchestrated Lancet Letter of Feb 2020 declaring w hyperbolic certainty zoonotic origin of covid & smearing dissenting scientists as right-wing anti-science conspiracy theorists. #NotAWitchHunt

GoFRoC/research on enhanced potential pandemic pathogens/DURC is an egregiously risky tiny subset of virology w no civilian benefits & has been contentious among scientists for decades. Fauci circumvented Obama's ban by outsourcing work to Wuhan via EcoHealth.

Questioning research results is an inherent part of rigorous science, as per the principles of reproducibility, verifiability, and validity.
Questioning these principles is anti-science.

Angela Rasmussen has smeared scientists critical of the egregiously risky tiny subset of virology aka GoFRoC, aka research on enhanced potential pandemic pathogens, since covid. The risky research that is widely believed by scientists & by FBI/CIA as likely origin of covid.

Why should anyone take any government's word at face value? Moreover, GoFRoC/ePPP/DURC can potentially be used for both biodefense and bioweapons purposes.

Congrats!

Perhaps you are unaware that Obama presciently banned GoFRoC/ePPP research in 2014, & Trump reinstated it at Fauci's urging. Fauci is a longtime proponent of GoFRoC/ePPP research.

Ad hominems aren't refutations. Recall that GoFRoC/ePPP virologists/funders closed ranks in Feb 2020 to declare zoonosis as covid origin w hyperbolic certainty & to denounce dissenting scientists as right-wing anti-science conspiracy theorists. That's not how science works.

No evidence for zoonosis, despite incessant "historical precedent" hype. Indeed, there is nothing less scientific than GoFRoC/ePPP virologists/funders closing ranks in Feb 2020 to declare zoonosis as covid origin & denounce dissenting scientists as right-wing anti-science conspiracy theorists.

Trump did bungle it. But far more importantly, GoFRoC virologists/funders in US & China likely caused covid by performing unnecessarily reckless research that was opposed by many scientists for decades because of its pandemic risk.

Of course not. Facts are facts. The process by which they are arrived at is regrettably too often conducive to politicization. On both sides of the aisle. Everyone has blind spots. It's part of being human.

Fact-checking in the media is performed by humans, who are biased and often have conflicts of interests. Experts often disagree within their respective fields of expertise.

What is your solution? All "fact-checking" is biased b/c all humans have biases. I'm for free speech for everyone, w/in the bounds of the law. Ppl can block their feeds if they are offended by what they read. Teach critical thinking again in schools. Treat skepticism as a virtue instead of a smear.
