President Trump signed an executive order banning federal funding for gain-of-function research.
“In all of the history of gain of function research, we cannot point to a single good thing that has come of it.” Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr
“Many scientists because this GOF research is responsible for the COVID pandemic.” Dr J Bhattacharya

The order should be expanded to NGOs like the Gates Foundation.
The order will: ….end Federal funding of dangerous gain-of-function research conducted by foreign entities in countries of concern (e.g., China) … to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies… (White House).
Now he should expand the executive order to NGOs… the Gates Foundation is financing what appears to be gain of function research… pic.twitter.com/LzkBfcIs27

Trump was flanked by Marty Makary, U.S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health of the United States and RFK, Jr, Director of HHS. The signing will be hailed as a victory for the MAHA movement. New York Post: The order will yank funding from “any present and all future” gain-of-function research — money which federal agencies have had difficulty tracking — as well as deputize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies to identify biological research harmful to public health or threatening to national security. “These measures will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology,” according to a White House fact sheet reviewed by The Post (New York Post).
