This is a patriot. And an example of what a woman cam be.
I don’t agree with her on everything, but she has earned and demands respect.
No, she is a media whore just like MTG, Massie, Ron Paul, etc. She posted this nothing burger, without context, knowing fringe people would blow this up due to lack of knowledge.
Gabbard mentions 30 biolabs in Ukraine without mentioning that Ukraine has no Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories, and the country has two Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) facilities. For context, US has more than 1500 registered high-containment biological laboratories (Biosafety Levels 3 and 4). Most of the laboratories(BSL-2) in Ukraine that are supported are on the same level as a veterinary laboratory in the US.
BSL-4 (Highest Containment): There are zero BSL-4 facilities in Ukraine. These labs, which handle the most dangerous, untreatable pathogens like Ebola or Marburg, do not exist in the country.
BSL-3 (High Containment): Ukraine has historically maintained between one and two BSL-3 standard laboratories. These facilities are used exclusively for civilian diagnostic and research purposes, analyzing airborne or highly hazardous pathogens such as tuberculosis, anthrax, and COVID-19.
BSL-2 (Moderate Containment): The majority of Ukraine's public health and veterinary labs operate at BSL-2, which handles common moderate-risk agents like salmonella and HIV.
The United States houses at least 1,500 to 1,600 registered high-containment biological laboratories (Biosafety Levels 3 and 4), though the exact grand total of all bio labs is unknown. Because basic labs (BSL-1 and BSL-2) exist in almost every university, hospital, and high school, they are not centrally tracked.
