Sorry, I must not have been paying attention but could someone explain to me what Gain-of-Function means?
Manipulating a natural (BIOlogical) occurrence for nefarious (WEAPONIzed) benefit.
BIO-WEAPON!
That's a war crime and treason - both carry execution penalties
I think of it as weaponizing the virus in the case of COVID

My understanding in simple terms is that a virus that innately exists in an animal may not have the ability to cross over to a human. The gain of function is the process that science uses to retrofit that virus to exist in humans. The importance here is this virus that jumped from a bat to a human, could only have occurred with gain of function help
A few can jump, like rabies. They are rare. Only one can infect every mammal
