Kazakhstan Denies US-Funded ‘Military Biological Lab’ Seized By Rioters After Russia Claims Potential Pathogen Leak

Kazakh officials have denied that a US-funded ‘military biological laboratory’ was seized by rioters in the recent unrest, which has seen at least 160 dead since the violence broke out just one week ago.

It is unclear whether the deaths, reported by the health ministry to state news channel Khabar-24, are primarily civilians or law enforcement according to the Daily Mail – however officials said on Sunday that at least 16 police or national guard members had been killed. Pictures of Kazakh secret service operatives killed during the unrest have also been released.

According to Russian media, the biolab near Almaty – built in 2017 and used to study outbreaks of particularly dangerous infections – was ‘compromised,’ resulting in a potential leak of dangerous pathogens. Kazakh officials have denied the claim.

"The secret bio-laboratory funded by the US defence department – which has links to Russian and Chinese scientists – was also compromised in the disturbances, according to social media claims that it was seized.

‘This is not true. The facility is being guarded,‘ said the health ministry which is responsible for the Central Reference Laboratory, in Almaty.

Official Russian news agency TASS had highlighted alleged social media reports that it was taken over by ‘unidentified people’ and ‘specialists in chemical protection suits were working near the lab so a leak of dangerous pathogens could have occurred‘.

The laboratory’s existence has been controversial and in 2020 the country formally denied that it was being used to make biological weapons.

At the time, the Kazakh government stated: ‘No biological weapons development is underway in Kazakhstan – and no research is conducted against any other states.’ -Daily Mail"

A US funded lab in Wuhan, now another in Kaza....Wonder how much they're being funded and what are they working on? Why the hell are we even doing it?

Apparently the Moronic virus escaped from such a lab in S. Africa......

That’s my thought, regardless if the lab is under control of the government or not, why is the USA funding a lab in Kazakhstan in the first place.

You have to think the reason is we are funding research that is banned in the USA but Defense department and Fauci are funneling money thru 3rd parties to conduct research they otherwise can’t do.

Bringing Revelation into focus. Have wondered for years how these plagues could be brought about upon us.

Wars, famines, etc. - easy to see. But plagues? Now right in front of us.

Comforting to know that I am sealed by my Redeemer.

Faucis Beagles got out. This is why Fauci is always so arrogant when questioned. All his bioweapins research funded by congress is classified and cannot be discussed or disclosed. Fauci knows this every time he spars with Rand Paul. Paul can’t say what he knows to be true. He can only carefully infer it.

n Kazakhstan, high-risk, naturally occurring diseases include Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hantaviruses), tickborne encephalitis (TBE), rickettsial diseases, and Q fever. [5] Historically, Kazakhstan monitored these diseases in laboratories of the former Soviet anti-plague system (APS), [6] which fell into severe disrepair after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent lack of funding. As a result, the potential for accidents and mishaps in these labs compounded the risk to surrounding populations.

The central APS laboratory in Kazakhstan, called the Kazakh Scientific Center for Quarantine and Zoonotic Diseases (KSCQZD), housed the most dangerous activities to this end. The work it routinely conducted required international biosafety level (BSL)-2 and BSL-3 standards spanning personnel practices, safety equipment, and facility administrative and engineering controls. When the United States engaged with this lab through the CTR program, none of these controls had been in place.

I'm sure that's their story and they're sticking to it........As for me, I'm skeptical, especially if Russia and China are involved.

Why would a communist country run by commies allow the US to fund a bio-weapons lab inside its own borders?

That’s not how you were expected to make use of that information.
