A Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs heard testimony Tuesday titled 'Origins of COVID-19: An Examination of Available Evidence' revealed that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding dangerous gain-of-function viral research in labs across America.

Dr. Steven Quay gave the testimony before the Committee, he is a physician scientist, medical doctor, organic chemist and has a 50-year career which
spans academic research in medicine, biotechnology and scientific fraud investigation.

"[I] include what I call "gain of opportunity" research in new oversight efforts. Going into caves where humans are seldom found, taking a bat fecal sample containing thousands of viruses, bringing those viruses back to a aboratory, and culturing the specimens, where a virus that might be controlled in a diverse natural environment but is now able to grow unrestricted in pure culture provides an immense increase in opportunity for potential pandemic risk, even without genetic engineering," the testimony document said on page 21. "This is the goal of the Global Virome Project, a Gates Foundation funded, EcoHealth Alliance associated effort. Their stated goal: collect the estimated 500,000 unknown viruses that are capable of infecting humans and bring them back to a laboratory near you. What could go wrong?"

'Gain-of-function research' is a polite way to refer to making a virus more virulent and transmissible in order to turn it into a bioweapon.

Quay said that while there is no actual benefit from gain-of-function research, he believes that the vested interest in it within the entire virology community makes it too difficult to ban.

He proposed ideas such as keeping the death labs away from locations such as subway systems in busy cities as well as closer governmental monitoring and oversight of their activities.

Quay discussed his work on Covid, which he said spread from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab thanks to the nearby 'Line 2' of the Wuhan subway train system.
