Bill Gates: Patron Saint of Gain-of-Function Funding Hopes to Move on to Nuclear Reactors in Wyoming

Wyoming officials need to remove the stars from their eyes and take a sobering look at the public record of Bill Gates and his Bill Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).  This would have been the #1 responsible thing to do before ever considering letting Bill Gates loose in our state to toy with uranium and nuclear reactors – most likely under a pre-arranged MOU agreement with the Chinese Communist Party.

Most people are unaware that Bill Gates does not hold a college degree in anything.  He enrolled at Harvard College in 1973 and dropped out two years later.  Period.  Just because he was a co-founder of Microsoft and is a fairly brilliant financier does not make him a brain surgeon – or a nuclear physicist – or a nuclear engineer.

If Wyoming elected officials would just open their eyes they would clearly see that Bill Gates is not Einstein – he is Frankenstein – with billions of dollars, that he distributes to play global chess with human lives.

People have always been used as experimental animals by Gates in whatever new and interesting scientific endeavor that strikes his fancy.  This is exactly what we should expect in Wyoming from Gates’ experimental nuclear reactors engineered by his expensive billionaire-boy-toy called TerraPower.

There is a plethora of issues that center around Bill Gates – much of which concerns his influence on global health, medicine, and most especially vaccines.  The video at the bottom of this page does a darn good job documenting much of that.  We highly recommend taking the time to watch it.

For now, we would like to briefly zoom-in on Bill Gates’ intense support for gain-of-function research – scientific experiments reminiscent of Frankenstein, except with microbes as opposed to humans – microbes ultimately modified to see what they can do to humans.  The term ‘gain-of-function’ should sound familiar to you, as it as it has been hot in the news as ‘the science’ that most likely led to the creation of the Covid-19 virus and the subsequent pandemic that has changed our world, for all people, on too many unpleasant levels to count.

What is ‘gain-of-function’?

‘Gain of function’ is a field of research focused on growing generations of microorganisms, under conditions that cause mutations in a virus.  These experiments are termed ‘gain of function’ because they involve manipulating pathogens in a way that they gain an advantage in or through a function, such as increased transmissibility.

Such experiments allow scientists to better predict emerging infectious diseases, and to develop vaccines and therapeutics.

Gain of function research may use genetic engineering or serial passaging.

Genetic engineering involves ‘editing’ the genetic code to modify the virus in a way predetermined by the scientists.

Meanwhile, serial passaging involves allowing the pathogen to grow under different circumstances and then observing the changes. For example, the pathogen may first be grown in one environment, and then a portion of it may be taken and allowed to grow in different sets of controlled environments. The process is continuously repeated, and the final product is compared to the original pathogen to understand how the microbe changed its genetic code.

Why US temporarily paused funding it

The issue of gain of function research came under scrutiny in 2012, when a team of Japanese scientists in the US published a paper that helped show how the avian flu H5N1 may have transmitted to humans.

The group had altered the virus in a way that allowed it to reproduce in mammal lungs, which are a bit colder than bird lungs. This change allowed the virus to be transmitted via coughing and sneezing in ferrets.

Although the research helped explain how H5N1 could become airborne in humans, it created an outcry in the US, with The New York Times stating in an editorial opinion “that the research should never have been undertaken”.

Within the next two years, the Barack Obama administration in the US paused the funding of gain of function studies, particularly those anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses — which have the potential to cause pandemics.

One of the primary Japanese scientists referenced above, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, has been an all-time favorite of Bill Gates and has received tens of millions of dollars in BMGF funding for gain-of-function research.  Below is a brief timeline of just some of the research by Kawaoka on pathogens, gain-of-function and Covid-19 vaccines.  Grants received from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are noted in yellow below.

…The project, led by UW-Madison virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka, will be done with Lentigen Corp . It will use high-throughput screening to identify mutations in avian influenza viruses that could lead to a pandemic, or global outbreak of flu…

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation , UW-Madison’s tech-transfer organization, has agreed with Lentigen to donate the resulting intellectual property to the international research community[which China absolutely loved no doubt]

Kawaoka, who has a joint appointment at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Tokyo, created a method for screening avian influenza sequences to determine when the virus jumps from birds to humans…

The grant is the first made by the Gates Foundation to UW-Madison to support a global public health initiative.

By mixing and matching a contemporary flu virus with the “Spanish flu” — a virus that killed between 20 and 50 million people 90 years ago in history’s most devastating outbreak of infectious disease — researchers have identified a set of three genes that helped underpin the extraordinary virulence of the 1918 virus.

In 2004, Kawaoka and his team identified another key gene from the 1918 virus that enhanced the pathogen’s virulence in mice. That gene makes hemagglutinin, a protein found on the surface of the virus and that confers on viral particles the ability to attach to host cells.

“Here, I think we are talking about another mechanism,” Kawaoka says. The RNA polymerase is used to make copies of the virus once it has entered a host cell. The role of hemagglutinin is to help the virus gain access to cells.

…To identify virus mutations that would serve as early warnings of potential pandemic influenza viruses…

…the potential for a hybrid avian/human flu virus to emerge from somewhere other than here.
Today, respected researcher Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (left) has issued a paper where he postulates that such an occurrence is not only possible — he has done it…

… In 2011, two US-funded biolabs – one in Wisconsin led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka and one in the Netherlands – created, in just five mutations, a potentially more deadly strain of H5N1 bird flu that is highly transmissible to and between humans – and published exactly how they did it.  Release of the scientific paper caused a stir and triggered a 2014-2017 moratorium on US federal funding (not other funding) during which efficacy discussions took place regarding “gain-of-function” or “dual use” studies (ones that make viruses more transmissible and/or deadly)…

In 2011, debate was raging among scientists on whether to block publication of the paper by a NIAID-NIH team led by Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka from the University of Wisconsin describing how they had effected human transmissibility in the H5N1 virus (avian influenza or “bird flu”, caught from poultry, 60% mortality rate) in just five mutations, a study also funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation portion alone was nearly $60 million for Health Grant OPPGH5383 reported in this Kawaoka study…

The Foundation for Vaccine Research (FVR), a privately funded group that seeks to increase funding for vaccine research, argues that manipulating viruses to make them more deadly than they are in nature is “morally and ethically wrong,” and that the ethical questions have been pushed aside in recent debate.  Such experiments have been dubbed gain-of-function research…

The studies were led by Ron Fouchier, PhD, of Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, and Yoshihiro Kawaoka, DVM, of the University of Wisconsin…

Scientists express horror over the creation of a virus that could render the human immune system defenceless…

Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has genetically manipulated the 2009 strain of pandemic flu in order for it to “escape” the control of the immune system’s neutralising antibodies, effectively making the human population defenceless against its reemergence…

> 2014 to 2017 –  U.S. Pause on Funding for Gain-of-Function Research <

A team of researchers led by University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka describes a novel strategy to predict the antigenic evolution of circulating influenza viruses and give science the ability to more precisely anticipate seasonal flu strains. It would foster a closer match for the so-called “vaccine viruses” used to create the world’s vaccine supply.

The study was supported by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Japan Science and Technology Agency, the Japan Initiative for Global Research Network on Infectious Diseases and others.

In our study, we demonstrated that a feline H7N2 subtype virus isolated during an outbreak in an animal shelter in New York in December 2016 replicated well in the respiratory organs of mice and ferrets but did not cause severe symptoms…

…The work by campus scientist Yoshihiro Kawaoka involves modifying bird flu viruses such as H5N1 so they can spread among ferrets, an animal model for studying the flu in humans.

The research aims to identify changes that could cause the viruses to spread easily among people, “so that public health officials can monitor for these changes in nature and begin to stockpile vaccines and antivirals to combat it,” Rebecca Moritz, the university’s manager for select agents — or germs considered bioterrorism threats — said in a statement.

But opponents, including many fellow scientists, have said the research could cause a flu pandemic if an enhanced virus escaped from the lab or was replicated by terrorists.

Some criticized the federal government, which issued a moratorium on the studies in 2014, for quietly approving them again in recent months without publicly explaining why. The developments were first reported last month by Science magazine.

This January, UW-Madison was informed by the Department of Health and Human Services that it could resume the work, Moritz said.  A $600,000 grant for the research comes from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.

The funds, up to $12 million, will be awarded to as many as eight teams of researchers, the Gates Foundation and Flu Lab announced Thursday (local time) at Options for the Control of Influenza, the flu world’s largest scientific conference, currently underway in Singapore.  The maximum grant will be $2 million and the funding will stretch over two years…Grantees include Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a star in the flu world who splits his time between the University of Tokyo and the University of Wisconsin…

UW has two different COVID-19 vaccines in trials.

One is by Kawaoka and his company FluGen. The other is by Jorge Osorio, a professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine.

We just gotta say… these people sure do remind us of the movie Jason and the Argonauts.
Remember?  Where the Greek Gods play chess with human beings thereby planning their life and death.
