As they discussed what to present to the public, the scientists determined that questions of potential lab origin might prove more trouble than they’re worth. “Given the evidence presented and the discussions around it, I would conclude that a follow-up discussion on the possible origin of 2019-nCoV would be of much interest,” wrote Ron Fouchier, a virologist at the Erasmus MC Center for Viroscience in the Netherlands, on February 2. Years earlier, Fouchier’s gain-of-function research had brought the discipline under fire for a 2011 experiment in which he infected ferrets in adjacent cages with the avian influenza virus, allowing it to become airborne and infect mammals. “However, further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from their active duties and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular,” Fouchier wrote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:800C:3101:D064:AC6C:3DBB:9690:A2C7 (talk) 20:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marion Koopmans and Ron Fouchier on NL TV (the subtitles are only helpful for those who speak German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoWgo7E7cLU produced by VPRO. Here he speaks about the project of designing an universal influenza vaccine.
In 2011, cooperating with Guus Rimmelzwaan, he warned of an adverse effect of vaccinating young children against influenza: "Annual Vaccination against Influenza Virus Hampers Development of Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Children" (now 104 citations in Google Scholar) and other similar papers
He is mentioned in Serial passage, and in Gain-of-function research.
He is mentioned in 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak, in MERS and in Influenza A virus subtype H5N1.
