Fmr. Obama CDC Director: We Need Tighter Rules on Gain-of-Function Research, Fewer Labs Need to Be Able to Do It

On Monday's broadcast of NewsNation's "The Hill," Dr. Tom Frieden, who served as CDC Director under President Barack Obama, argued that while no one can say for sure how COVID-19 originated, we do know for sure that lab leaks are a "major" risk and we "need to be regulating gain-of-function research more and reducing the number of laboratories that could -- on purpose or by mistake -- create a deadly organism that causes a lot of death and destruction."
