 In 2014, in the wake of serious safety lapses at U.S. labs, including 75 CDC researchers being exposed to anthrax, and the chance discovery of 16 misplaced small pox vials at another facility, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and Department of Health and Human Services declared a moratorium on funding for gain-of-function research for influenza, SARS and MERS. Gain-of-function research involves the manipulation of viruses and other pathogens in order to enhance their capabilities. The 2014 moratorium followed an earlier year-long moratorium on H5N1 research that was instituted in 2012 after researchers had enabled airborne transmission of avian influenza virus H5N1 between ferrets. In addition to the dangers posed by H5N1 research, and the recent safety lapses at U.S. labs, the moratorium was prompted by the potential dangers associated with gain-of-function research on particularly deadly viruses like SARS and MERS.((//U.S. Government [[:Gain-of-Function]] Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses//, October 17, 2014. https://web.archive.org/web/20190726151418/https://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/documents/gain-of-function.pdf))((Jef Akst, "Moratorium on Gain-of-Function Research," //The Scientist//, October 21, 2019. https://www.the-scientist.com/the-nutshell/moratorium-on-gain-of-function-research-36564; https://web.archive.org/web/20190726122011/https://www.the-scientist.com/the-nutshell/moratorium-on-gain-of-function-research-36564))

+==== Biological Weapons Programs ====
+Bioweapons Expert claims US Government funded Bio-labs in Ukraine to make Bio-Weapons for use against Russia
+By Mercola reprint The Exposé on April 11, 2022
+[[:Francis Boyle]], Ph.D., a Harvard educated lawyer and [[:bioweapons]] expert with a Ph.D. in political science, was interviewed recently about the Bio-Labs in Ukraine, which Russia claims are engaged in U.S.-funded bioweapons research.
+For decades, Boyle has advocated against the development and use of bioweapons. In fact, he was the one who called for biowarfare legislation at the [[:Biological Weapons Convention]] of 1972. He then went on to draft the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by then-president George Bush Sr. in May 1989.
+While the U.S. has vehemently denied Russia’s accusations, Boyle says that based on what he’s discovered so far, the labs in Ukraine are all conducting biological warfare research — including ethnic-specific biological weapons — at the behest of the U.S. Pentagon, just as Russian authorities are claiming.
+“The Pentagon does not do missionary work,” he says. “They kill people, and that’s why they are there.” He also points out that everyone involved is subject to life in prison under the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which explains the mad scramble to project these labs as something other than what they are.
+President Reagan put Dr. [[:Anthony Fauci]] in charge of the U.S. biological weapons program, and he’s been at it ever since. “About 95% of this biowarfare death science has been funded by Fauci, the NIAID and the NIH, since about 1984,” Boyle says.
+In previous interviews, Boyle has stated he believes [[:SARS-CoV-2]] is an engineered bioweapon, and here, he again reviews some of the reasons why. He points out that Shi Zheng-li, the famous bat coronavirus researcher at the [[:Wuhan Institute of Virology]] in China, was trained at the biolab in Galveston, Texas, which is “part of U.S. biological warfare industry.”((https://web.archive.org/web/20220411135533/https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/04/11/us-funded-bioweapons-ukraine-use-against-russia/))
+==== Ethics Loopholes ====
+How Fauci and Grady Degraded the Standards of Ethical Requirements for Clinical Research in the US Compared to the Rest of the World
+In reading Nuremberg, The Belmont Report, and now the Helsinki Declaration, I can say that up to 2020, US had far lower ethical standards for human subjects research than WMA. Now? None. Substack - James Lyons-Weiler - Jul 27, 2022
+Nuremberg focused primarily on the rights of patients’ protection from harm by doctors performing “human experiments”. Helsinki changed the langued to “clinical research”, but the intention was the same. The Belmont Report was an early draft of a guidance-type document in the US meant to inform professionals of the general expectations of normative standards; it is now only considered a “historic” document.
+Nuremberg, Helsinki and Belmont carry no legally enforceable language in the US. Instead, Nuremberg and Helsinki were meant to provide international standards by which individual countries could gauge their governance and regulation of clinical, human subjects research. It takes a while, but comparing the Helsinki Code to the US policies in play prior to 2020 (before COVID) shows that US researchers (meaning US-based pharmaceutical companies) wanted to weaken the concept of beneficence - the principle that all involved in a trial should benefit from being part of a clinical trial.
+Where the US had departed (prior to 2020) from the rest of the countries that backed Helsinki (WMA) and participated in its updates included, according to Kimmelman et al. (2009) included:
+      * Disclosure of conflict of interest;
+  *
+  *     Public disclosure of study design;
+  *
+  *     Benefit for populations in which research is conducted (beneficence);
+  *
+  *     Reporting of accurate results and publication of negative findings;
+  *
+  *     Access to treatment after research has been conducted, and
+  *
+  *     Restriction of use of placebo in a control group where effective alternative treatment is available.
+The departure formally came when issues related to HIV clinical trials run in less wealthy countries seemed to depart from Helsinki standards. Rather than work to reconcile differences with Helsinki, US companies, and the US government came up with a different international standard called “[[:Good clinical practice]]” - standards in place in the EU (codified as Directive 2001/20/EC), and the US (enforced as policy by NIH), all backed by Pharma.
+The most well-known sticking point seems to have been the insistence by countries within which US-based pharmaceutical companies were testing their drugs that, at the end of any clinical trial, patients be given access to the best available standard of care for the condition being studied.
+But that’s just the topic that people feel comfortable talking about.((https://web.archive.org/web/20220728004837/https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/how-fauci-and-grady-lowered-the-standards))
+=== The Role of the Virtuous Investigator in Protecting Human Research Subjects ===
+[[:Christine Grady]] and Anthony S. Fauci
+abstract
+In his famous 1966 New England Journal of Medicine article, Henry Beecher concluded that a critical safeguard for protecting human participants, more reliable than informed consent, was the “presence of an intelligent, informed, conscientious, compassionate, responsible investigator.” This article examines Beecher’s appeal to reliance on the “virtuous” investigator in light of the critical role that investigators play in research ethics and the systems of research protections that have been developed since Beecher’s writing.
+It addresses the extent to which **research ethics rely on virtuous investigators**; the meaning of virtuous, as distinct from compliance with the rules and regulations that guide ethical research; the particular virtues that it might be important for investigators to have; and the impact of the existing system of human subjects protections on the virtuous investigator. The virtuous investigator who is motivated to take ethical responsibilities seriously is an essential safeguard for the protection of human research participants and an important complement to the system of oversight protections. However, since the current human subjects protection system does not promote virtue or ethical resourcefulness by investigators, attention to enhancing a culture of professional responsibility might serve to forge a synergy between the protections afforded by the current oversight system and those provided by the virtuous investigator. [End Page 122]
+Unfortunately, the current human subjects protections system has had the ironic effect of diminishing explicit reliance on the virtuous investigator and in some cases alienating investigators. Strategies that synergize the regulatory protections with a more rigorous culture of responsibility among investigators could help restore a healthier balance.((https://web.archive.org/web/20180603122920/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/627988))

+AG Eric Schmitt tweeted "The phrase “I don’t recall” was prominent in Fauci’s deposition. He said it a total of 174 times"
+For example, Fauci couldn’t remember what anyone said on a call discussing whether the virus originated in a lab.
+During that same call, Fauci couldn’t recall whether anyone expressed concern that the lab leak “might discredit scientific funding projects.” He also couldn’t recall whether there was a discussion about a lab leak distracting from the virus response. Fauci did remember, however, that they agreed there needed to be more time to investigate the virus origins - including the lab leak theory.
+What else couldn’t Fauci remember? Whether, early into the pandemic, his confidants raised concerns about social media posts about the origins of COVID-19.
+Yet Fauci did admit he was concerned about social media posts blaming China for the pandemic. He even admitted the accidental lab leak “certainly is a possibility,” contradicting his prior claims to [[:National Geographic]] where he said the virus “could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated.” ((https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-fauci-deposition-transcript))
