— about how gain-of-function research could “cause a pandemic even worse the next time,” alluding vaguely to research he claimed involved viruses 15 times more lethal than the coronavirus.“Yes, our civilization could be at risk from one of these viruses,” Paul said. “And here you sit, unwilling to accept any responsibility for the current pandemic,” he added a little later, “and unwilling to take any steps to prevent gain-of-function from possibly unleashing an even more deadly virus.
