"did not fit the definition ... because bat coronaviruses had not been shown to infect humans" https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-gain-of-function-research-wuhan-institute-rand-paul-2021-10 "Even now, it’s not clear whether the research ... amounted to gain of function" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/10/29/repeated-claim-that-fauci-lied-congress-about-gain-of-function-research/
