Isn’t the lab “accident” sparking a pandemic the entire point of gain of function research? Why in the hell else would you try to make a virus more deadly to humans unless you were planning on killing a bunch of them?

The wide scope of GoF wasn't for "killing people" or making a virus more deadly, there are more uses to it beyond that, most which are positive.

Any and all scientific discoveries can be used for good or for bad. It doesn't negate the good in them because certain people use them for bad (i.e nuclear - can be used for bombs or can be used for low cost, clean energy).
It should be banned as it relies on killing babies to do so... it doesn’t matter what their agenda is. I managed clinical trials and you would be disgusted by the waste, grift and just plain sociopathic greed.
