"Dr. Anthony Fauci said it is impossible to guarantee that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology did not use American funds to perform gain-of-function research on coronaviruses, in testimony to a Senate panel on Tuesday.
Gain-of-function experiments are conducted to make viruses more deadly and/or contagious in a laboratory. The coronavirus pandemic began in Wuhan, China, leading to speculation that the pathogen may have leaked from the WIV, where experiments on bat coronaviruses have been conducted.
“How do you know they didn’t do their research and not put it on their website?” Kennedy continued.
“Theres no way of guaranteeing that, but in our experience with grantees…you would expect that they would abide by the conditions of the grant, which they’ve done for the years that we’ve had interactions with them,” Fauci responded."
'Impossible to guarantee' in govt-speak is 'YES, it happened / we did'.
