ohh absolutely not
Ohh, absolutely not. I think people see the danger of this now. And there's two points. We come back. So it's important that you're the audience understands serial passage. So serial passage is basically you can create sort of virus or bacterial slurries and Petri dishes and you can advance this from one dish to the next with slightly different animal tissues in it or different cells, mammal cells typically. And that's one way of making what's called a live attenuated vaccine, which might have b
Technique that that existed before any of this crisper technology or splicing technology. So that's an important thing to know.
And in terms of this proposal being gain of function, so when I was hired in 2014 at Epworth Alliance in the fall and I was asked to review this there, this proposal one had already been submitted. So I don't really know why they're asking me to review it, which is interesting. But when I when I reviewed this, there is no question in my mind that this was gain of function. And in fact the executives at equals alliance, we discussed gain of function work all the time because we have two of our sc
Directly as Kevin and then another scientist who has split his time between Columbia University and he goes equal alliance and that Doctor Simon Anthony. So this this work was going on and you know we we're all aware of it and we actually you know I was actually proud for Kevin at the time because he received you know a lot of money to to do this work and that's always a big deal in science and the soft money world because we're trying to get big contracts and money S we can keep laboratories an
You know to your your last question ohh so where did where did the scientific community sit now again a function well I think it's politically polarised at least among the stupid scientists it shouldn't be and the the simple way that I explained this to to people why gain of function is a stupid idea is in the context of stars Kobe 2 or COVID, is that they advanced this this disease 100 maybe 200,000 years into the future by using.
These laboratory techniques, and if you look at it from an infectious disease evolutionary ecology perspective, they have species of of animals basically coming into contact with each other through the engineering of this, which would probably never have contact in the real world.
So.
You know I could break.

the gain of function
The gain of function, gain of function is basically also an acceleration of evolution. What we are seeing now in nature virus because it's infecting millions of people has this dish of humans to mutate and and put out all these different variants and all that. So basically what gain of function does it allows you to play God and evolve a virus, you know like you.
That 200,000 years forward.

@AGHuff
Correct. And you, you can do it in a relatively short amount of time, a matter of weeks, months. It depends how many people are working in your laboratory and how fast you're working with a lot of this technology. And the the premise for doing this though I think is even more naive. So the idea is in the way that we pitch this at Ecole Alliance to our customers or partners or investors, the people that we are trying to get money from.
That by doing the scan of function work, we can then make what's known as medical countermeasures. That's a department defence term, actually. Vaccines, drugs, treatments to get ahead of this nasty thing that we just developed in the laboratory? Well.
If it won't, if the agent won't naturally evolve that way, or it takes 100,000 years, 200,000 years, heck 10,000 years for this agent to it naturally evolve that way, why are we doing this scanner function work in the 1st place and then spending all this money and then trying to develop medical countermeasures? And there's a very sinister answer for that, which I think will get to later in this conversation. But logically it just doesn't make sense.
