RFK Jr. talks Ukraine, COVID-19, the CIA and border crisis
Scientists called for the shutdown of ‘gain of function’ research nearly 10 years before the COVID-19 pandemic
Kennedy discussed how the U.S. government had been doing “gain of function” research for several years, where “you take an infectious microbe and you amplify its infectivity” as part of a process to preemptively develop a vaccine for bioweapons deployed as part of international warfare. He insisted that this type of research restarted after the 9/11 terror attacks when the Pentagon transferred the responsibility for creating bioweapons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Several labs were set up across the U.S. to work on “gain of function” research. According to Kennedy, “In 2014, three bugs escaped from three different labs and they were high-profile breaks and they were very dangerous, they had smallpox and ... a couple of other bad, bad, bad microbes.”
Kennedy explained how following this incident, “300 scientists wrote President Obama and said, ‘You’ve got to shut down Anthony Fauci because he’s going to create a microbe that will cause a global pandemic.’” While Obama shut down what Kennedy described as the “18 worst of Anthony Fauci’s experiments,” he lamented that “instead of obeying that law, Anthony Fauci shifted a lot of his operations off-shore and those operations ended up, most of them, in the Wuhan lab.”

The Wuhan lab, formally known as the Wuhan Institute of Virology, gained international attention as the site where the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. Kennedy elaborated on the belief that scientists conducting “gain of function” research at the Chinese lab unknowingly got sick with a virus they were tampering with and then spread it unintentionally as they traveled on the subway.
The COVID-19 pandemic has killed millions of people worldwide and resulted in the implementation of lockdowns that led to adverse economic effects as well as negative impacts on global mental health.
