Gain of function research has been going so smoothly...

Isn't it great that we're not just omniscient but wise as of a nanosecond ago? Hybris was for people who didn't have powerful tools.

Imagining Django to feel great solidarity with people based on skin color is anachronistic, not in keeping with the character, not in alignment with his primary motive nor his mentor's identity, and frankly racist.

Django knew he couldn't really do much about something as vast as slavery, but he couldn't live without trying to rescue his wife.

In actual history there is the inspiring story of John Brown and his attempt to free many slaves and start an uprising. For those unfamiliar with his story please read up on him. Historians say that his efforts though a tragic failure at the time helped insure that the Civil War and freedom would come sooner than later.

Totally free? Really? A novel biologic therapeutic researched, tested and manufactured in state of the art inspected clean pharmaceutical facilities-- and that's all free? Sounds like the opposite of free and you should realize that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and just because you don't pay up front doesn't mean it's free.

It's a government paid program. Government commissioned. Government mandated in some situations. The entire need for the "Operation Warpspeed" may well stem from parts of the uS government that decided to do gain of function research and partner with the people at the Wuhan Institute for VIrology.

What's another big way it's not free? Well some people do indeed have adverse events and some include death. As for the data on this, providers have been pressured and instructed not to record this in many places and now news of corruption of data making genuine research impossible. GIGO
