U.S. government officials still
unsanitary The Chinese Communist Party-run laboratory at the center of the pandemic, where patient zero was conducting radical experiments on the coronavirus, was the very source of the virus. Time and federal lawsuits may reveal whether bribery allegations contributed to America's murky waters.
This fact does not depend on Anthony Fauci's apparent cover-up and the agreements of government agencies that may have been influenced by it. denial of communist regime This means that there will be a leak in the laboratory. Even in countries like China, where biosafety is strict, these problems not only occur, but recur frequently. notorious second ratealso in Western countries.
This is especially true in the UK.
recently highlighted Since the emergence of the coronavirus, laboratory breaches and accidents have increased by 50%.
This significant increase in leaks comes as Freedom of Information requests to the UK government, UK universities and government research institutes reveal that deadly viruses and bacteria ranging from anthrax and rabies to Middle East respiratory syndrome are being transmitted. Now that this has been revealed, it is even more worrying. In large groups they are kept close together.
As demonstrated early on in the coronavirus pandemic, the Chinese regime
knowingly allowed hundreds of thousands of potentially infected travelers to travel abroad; Although there are restrictions on domestic travel, problems abroad can quickly become problems in the United States.
The Health and Safety Executive, the UK government agency responsible for workplace health and safety, reportedly recorded 286 laboratory accidents or near misses between January 2010 and December 2019. This equates to an average of about 28 cases per year.
The coronavirus pandemic has clearly not punished the white-coated Brits. Since January 2020, the HSE has recorded 156 incidents for her, or 42 lab incidents for the year.
The HSE published this shocking figure only because it was threatened with contempt of court by the Information Commissioner's Office, but it is not entirely clear that some of the incidents involved viruses and bacteria listed under the Terrorism Act. The Telegraph reported that he refused to provide further details.
Colonel Hamish Stephen de Breton-Gordon, a chemical weapons expert and former commander of NATO's Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense Force, said: “One clear laboratory leak in this country “It just shows that we're all sitting on a ticking time bomb.” ”
Breton-Gordon told the Telegraph: “It's very likely that[the coronavirus]was man-made, but it's also very likely that it was an unintentional laboratory accident.” “Given the ease and unregulated nature of synthetic biology, the next pandemic is likely to be man-made and could kill millions.”
Even with regulations in place, dangerous experiments continue behind closed doors.
On the other hand, the Obama administration announced In 2014, the National Institutes of Health suspended funding for new research, including gain-of-function experiments on influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses, but the National Institutes of Health still approved it. Continuation of GOF research The coronavirus research was funded by Peter Daszak's scandal-hit EcoHealth Alliance, which also received some funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The Telegraph noted that laboratory accidents revealed through freedom of information requests include:
- Bird flu has leaked from a cracked test tube at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency's laboratory in Hertfordshire, England.
- Manchester Royal Infirmary has had to be evacuated after an incident involving meningococcus, a bacteria linked to life-threatening sepsis.
- A new coronavirus infection has occurred in a non-contracted laboratory at the University of Liverpool.
- Escape of mutant mice.and
- A lab worker was accidentally injected with a mutant form of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
As worrying as the UK's inability to contain the virus is the 2023 outbreak.
Global Biolab Report This suggests that the UK does indeed have a relatively high biosafety score. 18 out of 20 points. Australia and Canada both rank highest with 20 points. India, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Saudi Arabia rank lowest on her score of five. They are 3, 3, and 1 respectively.
The Global Biolabs Report points out that the UK has a score of 17 out of a possible biosecurity score of 18. As a comparison, the United States has a perfect score. Again, India, Ivory Coast, Gabon, and Saudi Arabia had lower scores of 5, 1, 1, and 2, respectively.
The Chatham House report revealed that there were 309 laboratory infections from 51 pathogens worldwide between 2000 and 2021. In 16 incidents, pathogens escaped from biocontainment facilities, the Telegraph reported.
Dr David Harper, former Chief Scientist and Director of Health Improvement and Protection at the UK Department of Health, was deeply disturbed by the Telegraph's findings, saying: “An accidental breach in laboratory biocontainment has potentially devastating consequences.'' There is a possibility.”
“There is no doubt that the incidents reported today underestimate the true scale of the problem,” Harper continued. “Increased transparency through better reporting, documentation and analysis is urgently needed, along with improved governance and oversight.”
The HSE recorded 376 incidents where biological agents were released or leaked outside the laboratory.
“There are approximately 4,000 laboratories and a million scientists with the ability to manipulate genomes to create devastating pathogens, yet no one is currently looking closely at them,” Dr. Brereton-Gordon wrote. Ta.
