Just replied to a comment on a front page article, but I figured its worth posting here for posterity since it took me ages to collate the links.
Gain of Function research got blocked in 2014 in the US after 300 eminent Scientists from the Cambridge Working Group sent a Consensus Statement on the Creation of Potential Pandemic Pathogens, after so many lab leaks caused various pandemics, of course they redefined GoF research and Fauci et al worked around the ban anyway. [1]
There has been a concerted effort to control the narrative around GoF since DRASTIC raised concerns regarding a lab leak origin of Covid, again calling for a complete moratorium on GoF research. DRASTIC was infiltrated by the compromised Yuri Deigin, who managed to cause enough rift to oust some of the original researchers, Dan & Karl Sirotkin, & JJ Couey (who was fired from his research position in relation to his reviewing the Sirotkin paper). DRASTIC has since split into two completely seperate groups, yet the compromised Dergin is the only one getting any attention in the media (recently interviewed in a doc featuring D. Trump).
There has been a concerted effort to sideline the original research of Dan & Karl Sirotkin, DOD, DARPA, and CCP connected scientists in the field opperated an email campaign[2] which seemed to be designed to sideline anyone calling for a complete moratorium on GoF research, while promoting those calling for "more legislation" to control it, allowing those in the field to carry on bioweapon research avoiding a complete ban.

Part 2
In the UK the narrative control is headed by Sir Matt Ridley (the disgraced banker, and liar, who led Northern Rock, and the British economy to ruin)[3], who's book "Virus" written with the spooky Alina Chan is designed to control the narrative, limiting by omission the full history of lab leaks and the subsiquent pandemics they caused, whilst leaving the door open for continued GoF research by calling for "More Legislation" rather than a full moratorium and a complete ban.
Matt Ridley has also attempted to sideline the Sirotkins research by removing funding from another research group because they had the integrity to refuse to remove the Sirotkins name as coauthors from the research paper prior to publishing it.[4] which spurred Dan to complain to the House of Lords Standards Commissioner[5]
Dan pretty much tells the whole story on his blog[6] via rather long winded posts and their own published papers, also on his substack page[7]
Clearly there should be a concerted effort by the global scientific community to call for a reniewed moratorium and complete ban on this dangerous research for the greater good of humanity.
