For those interested, the specific breakdown is on this page [1].

I don’t know what good will come of this discussion, unless all countries are willing to discontinue gain-of-function research if this claim is found to be true. However that’s a lot of “ifs” and there is too much opportunity to simply place blame, which won’t help anyone.

It used to be banned here. The ban ended in 2017 https://id.elsevier.com/ACW/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.jbs...
That link just redirects to thelancet.com.
Actually, I don’t know about you, but now that link redirects to the FBI.GOV :/

This was the original link

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

If you Google “lancet ban on gain function” the first link is gone now.

what!? why does that link redirect to fbi.gov??
EDIT: The https://id.elsevier.com redirects to the FBI for me too (Australian ISP).
Obviously because you "hacked" Elsevier by sharing direct links.
