21. What people? Sometimes we have to close our own bio labs for violations

Sun Feb 26, 2023, 12:44 PM

Feb 2023

And our labs have mega bucks behind them. Wujan lab was underfunded and had safety violations. Also we always do deadly research in bio 4 labs- they were doing some of their coronavirus research in lower level bio 2 labs and the US was warned of this danger.

These things happen!!!
From 2019: (shut down for months)
Fort Detrick lab shut down after failed safety inspection; all research halted indefinitely

All research at a Fort Detrick laboratory that handles high-level disease-causing material, such as Ebola, is on hold indefinitely after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the organization failed to meet biosafety standards. https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/health/fort-detrick-lab-shut-down-after-failed-safety-inspection-all-research-halted-indefinitely/article_767f3459-59c2-510f-9067-bb215db4396d.html

This finding is being incorrectly reported. The headlines don't match the facts. Nevilledog Feb 2023 #41
