About Time: Trump Pulls the Plug on Gain-of-Function Insanity

Fauci’s Pandemic Games Weren’t Just Dangerous — They Were Criminal

Let’s get real for a second. President Trump just signed an executive order that finally bans federal funding for gain-of-function research. You know — the Frankenstein-level science where they mess with viruses to make them deadlier or more contagious. Yeah, that stuff.

Here’s the thing: gain-of-function research was already on thin ice years ago. Back in 2014, the U.S. put a moratorium on it because even they knew it was too dangerous. That ban mysteriously got lifted in 2017, and guess who was right there pushing funding to risky labs like the Wuhan Institute of Virology? You guessed it — Saint Fauci, the media’s darling, but in reality, the man who helped bankroll the very research that may have unleashed COVID-19 on the world.

Let me say this as plainly as possible: what Fauci did wasn’t just reckless — it was criminal.

Gain-of-Function Was Already a No-Go

This isn’t new. The U.S. government had already banned federal funding for this kind of research under the Obama administration. It was widely known that tweaking viruses to “see what they might evolve into” was a recipe for disaster. Scientists were split. Half said, “Hey, this is dangerous.” The other half said, “Trust us, we’re professionals.” You’d think after the last few years, we’d all know how that “trust the science” mantra turned out.

Fast-forward to now, and Trump is doing what no one else had the backbone to do — cutting the cord completely. No more taxpayer dollars going to labs in China or anywhere else to soup-up viruses in the name of “preparedness.” That’s like handing a pyro a gas can and saying, “We’re just studying fire prevention.”

Fauci Funded the Fire

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the highest-paid federal employee and self-proclaimed savior of science, had emails and documentslinking him to the funding of gain-of-function research at Wuhan. He danced around the term, played semantics, and threw up enough smoke to confuse the public. But make no mistake — the money went from the NIH to EcoHealth Alliance and then to Wuhan, and Fauci knew it.

If you or I funded something that led to a global disaster, we’d be in handcuffs. But Fauci gets book deals and cable interviews.

It’s time for accountability. He shouldn’t be praised — he should be put on trial. We need a full investigation into what he knew, when he knew it, and how many laws were bent or broken to push this research through under the radar.

Trump Did What Had to Be Done

Love him or hate him, Trump did what no one else in D.C. had the guts to do. He recognized this “science” wasn’t just risky — it was an existential threat. Cutting off funding to this madness is a win for national security, public health, and plain common sense.

It should’ve happened years ago. But at least it’s happening now.

Let this be a warning shot: the people are done tolerating this kind of bureaucratic recklessness. We’re done letting unelected “experts” play God in overseas labs, then lie to our faces when things blow up — literally.

Final Thought

The COVID-19 pandemic flipped the world upside down. Lives lost, businesses destroyed, kids masked and locked down — all while the so-called “experts” played cover-up. And at the center of it all was gain-of-function research. If Fauci and his crew had nothing to hide, why all the deception?

Trump’s executive order is just the beginning. Next, we need justice. Not just for the politics, but for the truth. For the people. For the millions affected by this man-made disaster.
