Have we learned nothing? 40 new biochemical labs that handle dangerous viruses are being built around the world after the Covid pandemic ‐ with 15 in Russia alone |
2022-10-12 |
Many countries believe they were caught flat-footed by Covid and want to get ahead of the next devastating outbreak by studying pathogens that pose a threat to humans. Russia has set out its proposals for 15 of the maximum security labs and India is aiming for 18 BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs in total. The US is also adding a further highest level biosecurity lab to its existing 12. India is currently constructing five BSL-3 facilities and proposes at least nine more. Four institutions are planning to build BSL-4 labs with the highest level of security. At the moment, India has three BSL-4 labs but only one is operational. Plus India’s Government has agreed to set up four new national institutes of virology, two of which will handle BSL-4 pathogens in future. Also in Asia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines and Singapore intend to build their first BSL-4 facilities. The US is due to add another BSL-4 lab to its existing group of 12 maximum-biosafety level facilities. Russia also announced last year that it will build 15 BSL-4 labs, but gave little to no details. At the moment, there are 63 BSL-4 labs in the world. |

#3 Could it be those that are trying to steer the world, feel 7.2 Billion needs to be reduced to a more manageable number for better control? Question: What percentage of the 1,000 or so filthy Rich and Upper Leadership in the world died from C-19/22 or the Vaccident vs. say their Middle Class? |

#2 We rewarded Xi and Fauci for making this one with every goddamn wet dream they might have had, so guess what's going to happen now. |
