>how about NIH funding those gain-of-function coronavirus experiments (which included human testing) in Wuhan?

Politicians expressly disallowed those experiments. Don't stir stuff up just to stir. It was a non-political agency exec (Fauci?) who apparently sidestepped the typical review process where they would have been killed, and funded them anyway

to me transfer of the research to China is exactly a typical solution by politicians - maintaining the perception of prohibition while in reality scaling the research even more into risky territory.
