At one point in the article, I was thinking, yeah that is useful information to discover how the virus evades the immune system, as well as other info. So, I guess that is a more benign form of GOF, as long as such research doesn't put humanity in danger. Recreating the 'Spanish flu' and tweaking H5N1 to make it pathogenic to humans is a recipe for disaster, human error will always lead to lab leaks. I think we are there. The vaccine panacea delusion is going to make a small group of people go beyond rich and will be used to make the rest of us walk the plank. Very sad to read of the young athlete, son of a New Zealand politician, unexpectedly die. It is a common occurrence among young male athletes in the last three years.
