JUST IN: FBI, CDC Investigating “Questionable Vials” Labeled Smallpox Found at Merck Lab Near Philadelphia

The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating “questionable vials” labeled “smallpox” at a Merck lab near Philadelphia.

Fifteen vials were found in a freezer, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Smallpox is extremely deadly (30% fatality rate) so only two labs in the world – CDC in Atlanta and one in Russia – hold samples of the virus.

In 1980, the World Health Assembly declared smallpox eradicated.

Yahoo News reported:

The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating “questionable vials” labeled “smallpox” and found in a freezer last night at a Merck facility outside Philadelphia, according to an alert sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership on Tuesday night.

There were reportedly a total of 15 questionable vials, according to the unclassified “For Official Use Only” alert, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News. Five of the vials were labeled as “smallpox” and 10 were labeled as “vaccinia.” The vials were secured immediately.

The discovery of the vials prompted a lockdown of the facility, which has since been lifted. The FBI and CDC launched investigations, which remain ongoing.

The CDC will arrive on site tomorrow to take custody of the vials and transport them to another facility for testing, the alert notes. No personnel were reportedly exposed to the material.

Those are probably the last two organizations we need handling them.

Someone should tell the FBI guys not to drink them.

Well, maybe not.

When I was working in microbiological veterinary research, several of the veterinary microbiologists had Level 1 live virus samples in their freezers that they had accumulated over the years in practice. I wondered what became of them after they retired.

The current odds are 60 / 40 that the FBI loses them before the CDC can test them on NY orphans.

Did the labels read “ACME SMALLPOX LIQUID. HANDLE WITH CARE. NOT A PRODUCT OF TRUMP INDUSTRIES!” Surely no nefarious intent.

"Did the labels read “ACME SMALLPOX... "

Well, yeah, in Chinese.

The English label reads "Booster 4".

It’s not really “smallpox”; just a reasonable mislabeling of a box one of the “secret ingredients” for the company’s Fauci Flu “vaccine”.

Who alerted the FBI? We’re they there for some other investigation and discovered the vials?

nothing to see here - probably just a little gain of function studying but according to Fauci that’s nothing to be worried about.

if it’s really smallpox, it wouldn’t surprise me any if they unleashed that on us too.

Coincidental with Gates’s call for billions in funding for his “germ games” dry run testing of simultaneous multiple airport smallpox releases worldwide?

I suspect not.

Look up “Tpoxx”... Manufactured by Siga Technologies (Symbol: SIGA). Interestingly enough, the U.S. Government recently ordered $133M worth of this product. Coincidence? Doubt it...
