Eleven days before Donald Trump was sworn-in as President, the Obama regime LIFTED a moratorium on "gain of function" research, paving the way for scientists to fiddle with germs, like COVID, to see if they could be made MORE contagious.
First a definition.  What is "gain of function" research?
". . . certain life sciences research that could enhance a pathogen’s virulence and/or transmissibility to produce a potential pandemic pathogen."
Put simply, this research looks at how to make nasty germs even nastier, and/or more EASILY spreadable to infect and harm MORE people.
The lifting of the Moratorium is still listed in the White House Archives:

PENTAGON NEVER STOPPED FUNDING
This re-authorization by the Obama regime was only kickstarting funding within the U.S. because the funding of weaponization of SARS-CoV-2 never actually stopped in 2014. The media reporting on this is misleading, if not downright false.
In the original pdf guidance for the 2014 research pause of into weaponization of SARS viruses there was a footnote that everyone seems to have missed.  It is within the red square at the bottom:

Here is a direct link to this Moratorium and its Exception HERE.
[U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses – pdf, page 2 – October 17, 2014]
This exception essentially permitted the Pentagon to continue funding the creation of SARS as a biological weapon in Wuhan, China, under the auspices of national security. Which is exactly what the defense department did: “Grants from the Pentagon included $6,491,025 from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) from 2017 to 2020” HERE.
 
Timeline:
:diamonds: October 17, 2014 – U.S. funding of SARS to create a biological weapon was paused due to the extreme risk of a pandemic.  However, the pause allowed agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”
:diamonds: 2014 through 2020 the Pentagon continued funding research in Wuhan, China. Fear of discovery would explain why many top officials in the U.S. Defense Department were against the Trump administration [with increased severity after the COVID pandemic began].
:diamonds: May 2016 – [An Election Year] “after thorough deliberation and extensive input from domestic and international stakeholders, the NSABB [National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity] issued its recommendations. NSABB’s central finding was that studies that are expected to enhance PPP have potential benefits to public health but also entail significant risks. NSABB recommended that such studies warranted additional scrutiny prior to being funded.”  Anthony Fauci is on the NSABB.
:diamonds: January 9, 2017 – [Four Days after the Susan Rice oval office meeting with Obama, Biden, Comey, et al] The Obama Administration re-authorizes funding for the creation of SARS biological weapons.  “Adoption of these recommendations will satisfy the requirements for lifting the current moratorium on certain life sciences research that could enhance a pathogen’s virulence and/or transmissibility to produce a potential pandemic pathogen (an enhanced PPP).“
Given the workarounds, exceptions and plausible deniability for the consequences, built into the original moratorium guidance in 2014, the defense department was operationally permitted to keep funding the biological weapons research in Wuhan, China.  The 2014 ban was a funding moratorium in name only; however, it appears the funding for U.S. research in North Carolina was stopped.
What was reauthorized in 2017 was the need to use “national security” as an excuse to continue the research.  It also appears funding of SARS as a biological weapon inside the U.S. (North Carolina) was now permitted again.

SUMMARY
President Obama (not Trump) started the reauthorization of SARS-CoV-2 Virus experimentation in 2017.  The funding of the Wuhan Lab for the creation of SARS-CoV-2 was originated during the Obama administration and continued during the Trump administration.  The scientific community, the Obama White House and National Security Team, and the Pentagon knew the dangers of funding the weaponization of a biological weapon from SARS.  The COVID-19 pandemic was an outcome of these originating decisions.
…. and yes, there are political and ideological benefits from the perspective of Obama’s ideological group for unleashing the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic as an opportunistic “crisis” to create totalitarian government solutions regardless of who was in office. 
However, the timing of the subsequent biological release is very suspicious in relation to the 2020 presidential election and the downstream benefits of manipulating the election via mail-in ballots.
Perhaps not a smoking gun of intent, but definitely bloody footprints walking out the door – in Obama’s size.
Want more of a clue that this ENTIRE "pandemic" was deliberate politics?   Take a look at this Joe Biden Tweet from OCTOBER, 2019 . . .  before the outbreak in China was even declared . . .
 
But the notion of a politically-motivated and INTENTIONAL Pandemic seems to many people to be a real possibility based on public comments years earlier by none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci as reported by the HEALIO Infectious Disease web site.
Way back on January 11, 2017, Fauci boldly asserted there is “no doubt” Donald J. Trump will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency.
Here.  Look:

Here is a direct link to that article in HEALIO where, it seems to some people, Fauci may have tipped his hand, HERE.
Gee, Fauci wasn't ambiguous AT ALL.   He didn't say "Trump could face . . ."  or "Trump might face . . . "  he said there is "no doubt" Trump "will be confronted . . ."   That sounds to some people as if Fauci already knew what was coming.
Normally, when a slew of people get killed and there is THIS kind of evidence that it was done deliberately, law enforcement agencies investigate.   That begs the question: Where is the FBI?   Why haven't they investigated this?
To some folks in the general public, this whole COVID-19 thing is starting to look like mass, pre-meditated, murder.
Of course, to our limp-wristed, snake-like FBI Director, Chris Wray, this seems hardly worth his time.
Alas, the FBI is apparently too busy acting like the KGB for the Democrat Party, to spend time investigating something as trivial as mass murder.
Thankfully, the ineptitude or corruption of federal law enforcement is NOT the end of this.  You see, here in America, we also have States.   Sovereign states.   With Police Departments, Grand Juries, Prosecutors and prisons.[/size]
