Yes, everything Zhengli Shi did was Gain of Function. I’ve read all of her papers in English.
Rand Paul seems unaware of how strong his case is. Zhengli Shi is also a PLA officer, biowarfare specialist and when this funding from Fauci/NIH was made available via EcoHealth Alliance/Peter Daszak, Zhengli Shi’s title was director of disease engineering.
The US funding for Zhengli Shi started after she published her paper bragging about how she got SARS-CoV to enter the lungs by using the spike protein in the ACE2 receptors. It’s right there in her papers.
Why was she doing this? She was funded by the PLA to create bioweapons. She’s not a medical doctor trying to heal people. She was trying to give the PLA viral weapons to kill people.
And Dr. Fauci was well aware of this.
Take this into account as you see his antics and attitude.
