Bidens approval sinking like the Titanic down to 36

Speaking of Biden his approval rating is now down to 36 in a new poll reports WorldNetDailycom

The analysts at Zogby Analytics chose to describe it as sinking like the Titanic after they crunched their numbers and found only 15 of respondents calling Bidens job performance excellent and another 21 good In contrast 42 said his work was poor and another 19 said only fair

The researchers said Voters cant help but wonder why the Biden administration keeps sweeping these issues under the rug and declaring them transitory citing the US economy which teeters on recession the Wall Street bubble higher gas and food prices and dont forget the USMexico border crisis potential US debt default and a once in a generation pandemic

Biden ran on the idea he could fix things and heal the country With each precious day slipping by it seems unlikely he will get his agenda passed or heal the country Another Trump presidency might not be so farfetched an idea as it was a year earlier said Zogby

NIH chief quitting amid charges he was untruthful

On Tuesday National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins announced his resignation When he claimed that his agency was not funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan China he was lying through his teeth reports WorldNetDailycom

Last month Richard Ebright a molecular biologist at Rutgers University said government documentsreported by The Interceptmade it clear that both Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci were lying when they claimed that the National Institutes of Health did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China

Exodus 2016 says You shall not give false testimonyagainst your neighbor

To be clear gain-of-function is when an organism develops new abilities or functions reports the BBC This can happen in nature or it can be achieved in a lab when scientists modify the genetic code or place organisms in different environments to change them in some way

With viruses that could pose a risk to human health like COVID-19 it means developing viruses that are potentially more transmissible and dangerous Scientists justify the potential risks by saying the research can help prepare for future outbreaks and pandemics by understanding how viruses evolve and therefore develop better treatments and vaccines

Richard Ebright was among the 16 scientists whoauthored a letter published last monthin the prestigious British science journal The Lancet They called for another look at the evidence that the COVID pandemic began with a lab leak in China funded by America

It was under Collins leadership that the NIH lifted a moratorium on gain-of-function research in 2017 that had been implemented during the Obama administration due to concerns that the research could trigger an outbreak
