So a couple weeks or a few days ago there was a new story about BU creating a new deadlier strain of Omicron. They basically made a new strain that was 80% of the lethality of the original strain, with Omicrons transmissibility. it killed 80% of mice and people then reported it as being a super strain. So that was probably a little irresponsible because mice aren't humans, but now vice and other main stream outlets are running interference for the lab saying that it isnt gain of function and stop lying about the lethality! So instead of having the discussion, as we should, about gain of function research and it's inherent dangers, we can argue about fake news.
