The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense released a new report urging government entities to bolster U.S. biodefense efforts and recommending policymakers formalize components of a national strategy to tackle various biological hazards. It highlights a concerning pattern where biodefense funding experiences bursts of attention followed by periods of neglect. Despite ongoing congressional deliberations on a comprehensive pandemic preparedness package, significant reforms in biodefense face considerable challenges.

Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic — ‘“Dr. Anthony Fauci off-record escorted into CIA to ‘influence the Agency's" Covid-19 investigation?’” 2019, a Furin site was identified in 2019-nCoV that pointed to potential for a leak of a gain-of-function virus. Lab leak taken off the table: [page 8 — https://lnkd.in/g5vJFQ9K] —• A Need for comprehensive Review of Origins and Dual-Use Risk Concerned about Ukraine 🇺🇦 dual-use gain-of-function labs? — Obama shared that concern as a young Senator. Richard G. Lugar and Barack Obama secured an agreement, in 2005, on dual-use gain-of-function labs in Ukraine — including Odessa BSL4 ASRI Lab.—— https://lnkd.in/gqRq3xpK “”One lab to receive funding is the I.I. Mechnikov Antiplague Scientific and Research Institute, in the Black Sea port city of Odessa. The institute was part of a Cold War network of "antiplague" stations that supplied highly lethal pathogens to Soviet bioweapons factories.”” Fact checkers mischaracterize these labs. Ukraine biolabs are publicly acknowledged by Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) as dual-use non-proliferation labs. US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, the former ambassador, cited her specific concerns on Odessa BSL4 ASRI that parallel Wuhan BSL4 WIV: "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces, may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach." All dual-use non-proliferation labs throughout the world present future risk via acknowledged gain-of-function activity. Attempts to redefine gain-of-function and dual-use non-proliferation labs is an attempt to occult what these labs have been known to be involved in for over half a century. None of us, here, should deny the incumbent risk related to gain-of-function —— post-pandemic. Science to find the origin of pandemics is well founded regardless of the whether accidental or natural. Scientists that attempt to occult or take off the table full discovery have swerved into politics. All of us should be compelled to encourage review into origins of pandemics —— without influence of politics —— and include the potential for lab-leaks, sabotage, terrorism, and most recently spoils-of-war. Everything should be on-the-table post-pandemic, and more recently with grand scale conflict in Ukraine.

Micro bioterrorism. Very interesting case study.

Within the establishment thinking the penny is beginning to drop. They have been badly let down by the very people who should be defending them.Substantial evidence that sections of the American and Chinese governments are ultimately responsible for Covid. Constitutionally it also shows the risks and benefits of allowing departments independence. The benefits , the FBI finally nailed it. The risks American departments should never have even allowed :- (a) suggesting to use and then passively allowing and using proxies in engaging in extremely high risk experiments in dodgy BSL2 labs abroad (b) encouraging the dubious concept that when there own domestic regulations would have rejected a method using third parties to carry that method out abroad. That might justify prosecution. For the Chinese a lesson that even in their own rigid system scientists and possibly the army have not been clear and honest with senior government on the grave dangers if things go wrong. Putting in some new body or unit with independence of review might be helpful There is now also time for a review of world academia, it appears that some may have used their status to hinder objective scrutiny. That matter has to be followed up. https://lnkd.in/eg-ZR4v8

The debate on the origins of #covid19 continues

Great to see the evidence finally coming into light after 4 years of cover-up. I knew that the CCP had compromised our national virological research facility back in 2020. The RCMP in Canada under Trudeau have become in effect, his Praetorian Guard (https://lnkd.in/g4t_9acF). If the RCMP can not defend Canadians, it is high time they are replaced with an entity that can. https://lnkd.in/gj5ZQtPc #cdnpoli #abpoli #canadianenergy #canadianlaw #lawandlegislation #lawenforcement #geopolitical #geopoliticalrisk #rcmp

The #European #Virus #Archive has been built up over the last decade to become an indispensable #collection of virus research materials, supporting the fight against #COVID-19. Now, the #EU #funded EVA Global project has expanded this research infrastructure to a global network, supporting the scientific response to future #outbreaks. The EVA-GLOBAL project is building the first global collection of viral biological material to support scientific #research, education and the control of old and emerging diseases. As well as building an international research infrastructure, the project is establishing #ethical, #safety and #security #standards relating to viral material. https://lnkd.in/dXmGTxWw
