White House Suspends Enhanced Pathogen Research blogs.nature.com/news/2014/10/w…
“CDC Director Tom Frieden has called the reporting delay the ‘most distressing’ aspect of several recent incidents involving the mishandling of dangerous pathogens at the nation’s labs, including potentially exposing dozens of employees to live anthrax. +
“Last month, several vials of long-forgotten smallpox virus were discovered in a building on the Bethesda campus of the National Institutes of Health.”
The internal CDC investigation into the flu lab incident found:

👀
“no approved laboratory-specific operating procedures existed for the work being done.”

👀👀
“There were no written records to document the procedures performed.”
(All of this is a cover-up, of course. The US is constantly researching and tinkering with dangerous pathogens. It’s why we granted immunity to Japanese scientists who committed war-crimes and conducted heinous BW experiments on humans during WWII in exchange for their research)
“CDC today released the findings of its internal investigation into the May 23, 2014 inadvertent cross-contamination of a low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) A (H9N2) virus sample with a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A (H5N1) virus and the subsequent shipment” +
(plus “the anthrax incident”)

This is like truckers keeping double-books: one to satisfy the laws; another for actual hours/mileage. Doing work “off the official books” until a snafu occurs then it’s PR containment.
(in that same thread: cover-up to prevent testimony during the Japanese war crimes tribunals so that their research could be acquired by the US)
“Cover-up at Kai Tak? Allies 'caused Hong Kong plane crash that killed 19 to assassinate British investigator'”

Life means nothing to empire and the ruling-class

The claim made by North Korea of the US’ use of C/BW during the Korean War is true and has been substantiated.

I skimmed this Nature article and didn’t find anything mentioning “inoculation” even though the NYT and Apoorva (who has blocked me) tag it on. (Please correct me if I’m wrong and you find “vaccination” mentioned in the Nature article). Image
