Exclusive-WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy pathogens in health labs to prevent disease spread

(Reuters) - The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories to prevent "any potential spills" that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters on Thursday.

Biosecurity experts say Russia's movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an escape of disease-causing pathogens, should any of those facilities be damaged.

Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans including, most recently, COVID-19. Its labs have received support from the United States, the European Union and the WHO.

Yes, it is wartime, and truth goes out the door, but the propaganda is almost as clunky as the old Soviet era agitprops: "health labs". Good one!

Anyway, here we have WHO warning that things stored in those "health labs" may well turn out to be very dangerous indeed.

Amazing how we went from the media two weeks ago EMPHATICALLY claiming there were no Bio-hazard labs in Ukraine to “aw shucks, these things are as common as house flies across the globe”.

I hope this won’t become the next wave of pandemic released so Charles Schwab et al can finish the Great Reset.

And this is the project where we were helping them dispose of Soviet era labs and programs? Thirty years in and we still aren’t done?

LOL

True. OTOH, it might still all be hush-hush, since there is no way on earth Putin would have invaded if Trump were still in office.

I’m old enough to remember an anthrax fatality
happening in a Florida location prior to the
Senate Office building attack, I believe.

The USA has biolabs in Ukraine for research. What could they possibly need to research? SOMETHING STINKS!!!!!!!

You know, nothing has eternal life except a government program.

The WHO attempts to fall in the sword for the derps. They just keep digging a deeper and deeper hole...

The other one I’m hearing from Leftists is that we were funding the cleaning up of Soviet era labs. I was unaware that biowarfare materials have a longer half-life than low-level nuclear waste, for them to still be an issue 30+ years in.

It was a program started during the Bush years. The idea was to 1) “clean up the labs” and 2) employ the scientists. There was this scare that Soviet era scientists who had worked with WMD would have to look for employment elsewhere, and terrorist states with lots of money would happily employ them.

However, I don’t think anyone thought this program would run on for ever. Big mistake!

15 years to supposedly destroy or transfer materials. Questions arise. If job was completed, when was it completed? If it was completed, why is Nuland concerned the Russians could do something. If disposal or re locating wasn’t completed, what steps have been taken to secure the pathogens. Have contingency plans been made for pathogen release in view of Nuland’s concerns .We just went through covid for 2 years. People have a right to know the pathogens we are talking about.

Unfortunately, after Nuland’s comments during the Senate hearing and the WHO statement, I think we can be certain that nothing has been made to secure any pathogens. The incompetence is pervasive.

And of course the authorities will refuse to answer any of the very relevant questions you posed.
