Trump signs executive order protecting Americans from dangerous gain-of-function research

In a decisive move to safeguard national security and public health, President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order aimed at strictly limiting and overseeing gain-of-function research—a controversial scientific practice that has been at the center of global concern since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gain-of-function research involves altering viruses or pathogens to make them more transmissible, more resistant, or more lethal. While some scientists claim it helps anticipate future pandemics, many experts argue that such practices pose catastrophic risks, especially when conducted abroad without proper oversight using U.S. taxpayer money.

The executive order introduces a comprehensive framework to bring this controversial research under control, including:

Powerful new legal tools to enforce a federal funding ban for any gain-of-function research conducted overseas.

Stronger internal review mechanisms for biomedical projects involving dangerous pathogens.

A national strategy to ensure all taxpayer-funded biomedical research is conducted under strict safety standards and ethical oversight.

Many believe that gain-of-function experiments, particularly those carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, played a critical role in the origin of the COVID-19 outbreak. President Trump has consistently pointed to China and globalist scientific bodies as potential culprits behind the pandemic and is now taking concrete action to prevent similar disasters in the future.

“This is important. It could have kept us from having that problem. But now we’re acting so it won’t happen again,” Trump stated at a press conference. His decisive stance stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration, which allowed NIH funding to continue supporting dubious foreign laboratories with lax safety standards.

The order has been widely praised by Republican lawmakers, bioethics experts, and advocates for scientific accountability. It also represents a pushback against international elites and organizations like the WHO, which have promoted risky research practices under the banner of “global health.”

With this executive order, the Trump administration once again affirms its commitment to the "America First" doctrine—putting the safety, sovereignty, and wellbeing of the American people before globalist agendas.
