The recent Senate Health Committee hearing featuring RFK Jr. — a total and predictable shitshow of pharmaceutical talking points masquerading as deep concern for constituents’ welfare — unveiled two shocking news items that had flown under my radar, and likely yours, just within the first few minutes.
First, Sen. Rand Paul broached an alleged lover’s spat among government biolab workers that resulted in the jaded lover poking a hole in the other’s hazmat suit at a facility studying weaponized Ebola, potentially exposing him/her to the virus and, by extension, risking an outbreak — an incident that the director, Dr. Connie Schmaljohn, apparently didn’t believe even warranted reporting, much less punishment.
Via Daily Mail (emphasis added):
“A US government lab studying the world's deadliest diseases been shut down over safety concerns after a spat between two scientists who were romantically involved.
Speaking anonymously, an HHS source revealed that one of the researchers poked a hole in the other's protective equipment during a vicious 'lovers' spat'. Dr Connie Schmaljohn, the lab's director, was also placed on administrative leave after she allegedly failed to report the incident to other officials.”
The fine specimen overseeing our collective public health, Dr Connie:
The truly horrific line of questioning from Paul, however, concerned his allegation that a DHS lab close to the infamous Fort Detrick facility is working on aerosolized Ebola:
“I am told in public records that they are doing experiments or have done experiments to aerosolize Ebola at the Impact lab, that’s the DHS lab nearby Fort Detrick… The idea of aerosolizing Ebola, I think is, uh, and/or training Ebola to be aerosolized is incredibly dangerous and probably goes against the Biological Weapons Convention.”
On that score, I had known there was a concern that The Science™ might undertake such a reckless project, but I wasn’t aware there was already evidence in the public domain that they had actively looked into how to make aerosolized Ebola infectious to humans.
Back in 2012, researchers at now-shuttered Fort Detrick, which also developed SARS-CoV-2, sought to manipulate, with success, mouse genetics to make them more susceptible to aerosolized Ebola.

Via Viruses (emphasis added):
“In order to identify wild-type, inbred, mouse strains in which exposure to aerosolized [mouse-adapted Ebola virus] is uniformly lethal, 60 BXD (C57BL/6 crossed with DBA/2) recombinant inbred (RI) and advanced RI (ARI) mouse strains were exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and monitored for disease severity…
The family Filoviridae includes two genera, Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus and a third putative genus Ceuvavirus. Filoviruses have caused extremely lethal sporadic human outbreaks, primarily in central Africa, and are classified as Category A Bioterrorism Agents by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary threat of filoviruses, as weapons of bioterrorism, is thought to be as aerosols. Appropriate animal models are therefore needed for discovery and testing of filovirus countermeasures and for gaining a better understanding of the pathogenesis of airborne filovirus infection. Aerosol models have been developed in non-human primates (NHPs) for Sudan virus (SUDV), Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV). Filovirus infection of NHPs may provide the best representation of the disease process in humans…
Mouse strains were generated by a special scheme of crossing of B6 and D2 mice and their progeny leading to accumulation of recombinations in the genome of each strain….
Five BXD mouse strains had uniform lethality upon exposure to aerosolized MA-EBOV.”
This research opens up the door for weaponization because, if they can pinpoint what genetic changes in humans might make them susceptible to airborne Ebola, nefarious actors can induce those changes and create a pandemic — possibly via mRNA “therapy.”
Alternatively, they could just cook up a new strain that doesn’t require any pre-manipulation of the human genome and let it slip through any of the one hundred “accidental” “leaks” emanating from U.S. biolabs alone every year.

Via Daily Mail, March 2024 (emphasis added):
“America suffers a 'startlingly high' number of lab leak incidents at its top virus labs every year, data shows — amid calls for centers to slash the number of experiments carried out on diseases that could spark pandemics.
Official data reveals more than 600 releases of 'controlled' pathogens - which may include anthrax, tuberculosis and Ebola - were recorded in the US over the eight years to 2022, equivalent to 70 to 100 releases every year.
At least two US workers were infected after the 'release events' over the last eight years — including the crippling mosquito-borne virus Chikungunya and the bacterial infection Q fever — although no deaths were reported.”
To add insult to injury, as the cherry on the biomedical terrorism cake, they’ve also been quietly studying the clinical application of kidney-wrecking remdesivir, presumably to finish off any patients who might survive a weaponized Ebola outbreak, per Scientific Reports.
Or maybe I’m a conspiracy theorist and tinkering with a virus with upwards of 50% fatality rate in clandestine government labs devoid of any meaningful oversight is all in the benevolent service of humanity.

ReplyDelete"On April 2, 1979, there was an unusual anthrax outbreak which affected 94 people and killed at least 64 of them in the Soviet city of Sverdlovsk (now called Ekaterinburg), roughly 850 miles east of Moscow. The first victim died after four days; the last one died six weeks later.
The Soviet government claimed the deaths were caused by intestinal anthrax from tainted meat, a story some influential American scientists found believable. However, officials in the Carter administration suspected the outbreak was caused by an accidental release of anthrax spores from a suspected Soviet biological weapons facility located in the city. The US believed that the Soviet Union was violating the Biological Weapons Convention signed in 1972 and made their suspicions public. But the Soviets denied any activities relating to biological weapons and at numerous international conferences tried to prove their contaminated meat story.
It wasn't until thirteen years later - 1992- that President Boris Yeltsin admitted, without going into details, that the anthrax outbreak was the result of military activity at the facility. "
There is strong suspicion the Russian Federation has continued to carry out experiments to weaponise many forms of deadly pathogens.
So, mfer, is yr daily digging of holes on the wall of 'iron curtain' justified anything?
DeleteYr dying interest in shaming yr pet hates is blurring yr know-nothingness with patronizing Democracy to the nth!
Russia was and IS pursuing weaponisation of deadly pathogens .
DeleteBut Leftie Idiots who follow Zero Hedge will pretend it doesn't exist
Too bad for u, every since the dismantling of SU, Russia has lost the ability in furthering any advanced biological researches & development.
DeleteTheir late development of the Covid-19 vaccine is a proof that mfer, like u couldn't see.
Right now, the ONLY country who is still actively in persuasion of weaponisation of pathogens is none other than USofA.
Building on the expertise gained from the notorious Japan่ๅ unit 731.
Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that engaged in lethal human experimentation and biological weapons manufacturing during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II. It killed an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 people. It was based in the Pingfang district of Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now Northeast China, formerly named Manchuria), and had active branch offices throughout China and Southeast Asia.
While Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials & hanged, those captured by the United States were secretly given immunity in exchange for the data gathered during their human experiments. The United States helped cover up human experimentation and handed stipends to the perpetrators. The Americans co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own biological warfare program, much like what had been done with Nazi German researchers in Operation Paperclip.
The current proliferation of the hundreds of US biolabs allover the world is initiated by none other than one Anthony Fauci!
