President Donald Trump can sign a drastic executive order banning gain-of-function research – Research to make viruses even more dangerous in the lab – According to a source who immediately worked with the National Security Council on the issue on May 6th.
The enforcement order bans studies amplifying the infectious or pathogenicity of any toxic and replicable pathogens, according to sources that have adopted a broad stroke approach and called for anonymity to speak openly about anticipated administrative measures. However, sources say important unresolved questions remain, such as whether violators will receive criminal penalties as Bioweaponers.
The executive order is piloted by Gerald Parker, head of the White House office for pandemic preparation and response policies built into the NSC. Parker did not respond to requests for comment.
During the drafting of the executive order, Parker has long defended its function and frozen federal agencies that have defended regulations, primarily the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the former Institute of Anthony Fauci research.
The latest policy guidance The gain-of-function research published under the Biden administration in 2024 was previously expected to come into effect on May 6th. March 25th letter It has not been instructed by the NIH for its guidance, co-signed by the American Society of Microbiology, the Biosafety and BioSecurity International Association, the Council of Government Relations, and the organisations conducting pathogen research.
The 2024 guidance changed the scope of experiments that were subject to more rigorous reviews, but it claimed researchers, universities and fundraising institutions like NIH for its implementation. Critics say Remove the report. Many Scientists say Researchers and NIH should not be the key entities conducting cost analysis for pandemic virus research.

Parker previously served as head of the National Scientific Advisory Board for BioSecurity (NSABB), a group of external experts who advise NIH on biosecurity issues. Recommended Congress will launch a new government agency to advise on research into functional benefits. Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield Center has approved the gain-of-function decision to move from the NIH to the Independent Committee.
“Given the well-documented lapse in the NIH review process, policymakers should… remove final approval of the Functional Benefit Research Grant from the NIH,” Redfield said. I said this at the OP-ED in February.
It is still unclear whether the executive order will clarify carbates for research that works without risk of harm like research. Non-replica pseudovirusthis can be used to study the evolution of the virus without generating pandemic viruses.
It is also unclear whether the executive order will adequately define “working research” enough to confront legal surveillance if a violator is charged with a crime.
The dangerous research on coronavirus funded by the NIH of the Uhan Virus Institute through the US nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance represents a loophole in the NIH’s existing regulatory framework. Some biosecurity experts say.

Documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act 2023 Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, submitted a proposal to Pentagon, called “Defuse,” in 2018, explaining a gain-of-function experiment on the virus similar to SARS-COV-2, but what is neglected by his intended fans is the fact that many of the tests will occur in Wuhan, China.

Daszak and Ecohealth Both were despaired No criminal charges have been faced from federal funding in January 2025.
“I don’t know that criminal penalties are needed, but we need biosafety and more sticks of carrot,” biosecurity experts who have requested anonymity to avoid retaliation from employers place emphasis on anticipated policies. “For example, biosafety is part of the tenure review and whether they will get funding for future work.”
Some experts say it is likely that the Covid-19 crisis is a laboratory-generated pandemic and may not be the last without major policy changes.
“A gain-of-function study on potential pandemic pathogens has led to the Covid-19 pandemic, killing $20 million and costing $25 trillion,” Rutgers University Microbiologist and longtime critic of high-risk virology, Richard Ebright, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “If not stopped, gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens could trigger future laboratory-generated pandemics.”
