Anthony fauci Fauci covid coronavirus gain of function nih

Anthony Fauci in 2012 says the risk of gain of function research is worth it.

“We must continually examine and balance the immediate and long-term benefit of the critical research for the public health with the risk that the conduct of certain types of DURC and/or the broad communication of the findings might enable a bioterror attack or accidental release of a microbe. NIH plays a role— which we take very seriously— in assessing whether the potential benefits of DURC outweigh the risks, and in mitigating any such risks."
