US illegal molecular research, biosafety lapses & Gabbard biolab probes
Key Questions
What charges were filed against NIH virologist Vincent Munster?
Vincent Munster and colleague Yinda were charged with smuggling 113 vials of deactivated monkeypox, chickenpox, and human DNA from Congo through Detroit Metro Airport while lying to CBP officials. The incident highlights ongoing gaps in select-agent transport oversight and echoes prior cases like Reedley.
What actions has Rep. Paul Gosar taken regarding Rocky Mountain Laboratory?
Rep. Paul Gosar formally requested that HHS and NIH close down Rocky Mountain Laboratory due to the Munster smuggling case, a monkey bite CCHF exposure incident, and ongoing bat virus experiments. This escalates prior oversight letters into concrete legislative action.
What has DNI Gabbard revealed about US-funded biolabs?
DNI Gabbard declassified evidence of 120+ US-funded global biolabs, including in Ukraine, involving gain-of-function research and alleged cover-ups. The disclosures link to broader probes into biosafety lapses at facilities like Reedley and Rocky Mountain Laboratory.
