I've not been made aware of any NIH connection to those labs. I have read reports about them from the outsides. But if I learn of things, I'll let the public know. I mean, I've been uncovering things left and right. And some of us have been shocking. We'll talk about one thing, I'm sure, right? And so you're about to ask me, I hope, in a second about it.

But I haven't found anything yet about the Ukraine biolabs.

Oh, goodness. I've been scared by very little in the last five years, but this one really scared me. So about three weeks ago, I'd been three weeks in the job, I got a report from someone who was doing a routine inspection of this lab. The NIH runs one of the labs at Fort Detrick. They're military labs as well. The lab the NIH runs is a BSL-4 lab. BSL-4 means like the highest security level.

You wear basically, you know, spacesuits and stuff. I mean, they're called whatever, biocontainment suits, if you're going to be working in a BSL-4 lab. And some of the stuff that are analyzed in those labs are just really nasty things. You know, Ebola, encephalitis viruses. I mean, they're just terrible if they get out in the human populations.

And of course, they're not common in human populations. They're certainly not in the United States. The investigation uncovered a security incident that happened in March before I actually signed on, that a contractor had deliberately cut a hole in one of the bi-containment suits of a fellow worker. And let's go over a lover's bat as best I can tell. I'm not sure exactly what happened in any case.

It's leaving aside the contractor and this act, which is, I mean, effectively an act of attempted murder, if not worse. The the the the the the fact that this had happened essentially been suppressed. And what I learned is that the safety culture of the lab was really bad.

There were incidents going back into the Biden administration where essentially it was just like, you know, sort of waved aside as if it were just normal. This is not normal. You have people working with some of the most dangerous pathogens on the planet. doing experiments with them that could really, if it leaked, could spread out to the entire population, damage the whole population.

I mean, we saw what happened at Wuhan. And when I heard this, I mean, my blood was chilled. I thought, okay, you can't have a lax safety culture in a lab like this. You absolutely have to have 100% commitment to safety when you are engaged in experiments with these kinds of select agents. you know, like pathogens. And so I ordered that the lab essentially shut down until further notice.
