Exclusive-WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy pathogens in health labs to prevent disease spread
Reuters via Yahoo ^ | 03 10 2022 | Jennifer Rigby and Jonathan Landay

The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories to prevent "any potential spills" that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters on Thursday.

Biosecurity experts say Russia's movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an escape of disease-causing pathogens, should any of those facilities be damaged.

Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans including, most recently, COVID-19. Its labs have received support from the United States, the European Union and the WHO.

In response to questions from Reuters about its work with Ukraine ahead of and during Russia's invasion, the WHO said in an email that it has collaborated with Ukrainian public health labs for several years to promote security practices that help prevent "accidental or deliberate release of pathogens."

"As part of this work, WHO has strongly recommended to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and other responsible bodies to destroy high-threat pathogens to prevent any potential spills," the WHO, a United Nations agency, said.

China is the only one so far to actually have an accident...

Uhhh, accident?

tsk, tsk, tsk.

p.s. In a strange coincidence, the good old U S of Derp paid for the Wuhan lab just like it paid for the Ukranien labs. That makes Russia the odd man out in even your scenario.

Reconcile.

I’m going to predict that you’ll be going silent on these threads in 48 hours. Or maybe not, but you’re sounding mighty desperate now.

How silly are you? Disgusting useful idiot for our enemies.

This just in. Siding with the Deep State, Soros, Hillary, CNN, Schwab, democrats, and Biden is siding with our enemies. And that would be you, derpenstein.

Let me draw you a picture real quick....

a.) USA invades Iraq because they had 'weapons of mass destruction' (they did, actually).

b.) Russia invades Ukraine cause they have weapons of mass destruction.

The difference is, the Ukrainian weapons are on the very border of Russia, the raggedy ones were halfway around the world.

Please explain to the class the difference, you derp state, water carrying, embed, propagandist, warmongering mole troll. I'll just wait over here.

The title SHOULD read...

“Exclusive-WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy deadly pathogens in bioweapons labs to prevent evidence spread”

Those biolabs are nothing and the focus on them is silly.

Just like the Wuhan lab was nothing?

Bruh, you get stupider by the minute. All due respect.

And I'll repost what I replied on another thread since it clearly bears repeating:

Let me sound a cautionary note when it comes to the truth...

A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent.

We can no longer deny the presence of US-funded labs in Ukraine.

So now the official narrative to be disseminated through the Fake News media has to be that since we are the "good guys", our explanation has to be that we are working hard to counter any biological warfare efforts by the "bad guys", and we are doing it for the good of humanity.

China is facilitating it’s nationals to occupy the Easter portion Russia. Has Putin demanded they stop?

Didn't you just get through explaining to me that China and Russia were evil step brothers out to take over the world together? Now China is fidna take part of Russia? Make up your mind. Like I told you, Russia/Putin is the enemy of Derp America (Biden). They are the ally of Real America (Trump and us).

In the middle east, it's Iran vs. Saudi. Iran is with the derps. Saudi is with us. Putin is currently at war with the derps. Oh, yea. For the record, Trump also flipped North Korea from the derps while he was in office. Now they too are anti-derp America again.

The trouble with you, Doughty, is you don't know the players in the big game, and as a result, you're on the wrong side of history. The same side as Hillary, Soros, and the rest.

p.s. I actually DID agree with SOME of your theorizing on the other thread. Like us all (myself included), we all have SOME truth in us. Some of us more than others.

Can no longer deny...

Well, FWIW, I can.

Because I have yet to see any proof.

Of anything.

And if the labs are proven to exist, I’d still need to see proof of what was going on in them.

But what’s going on in Ukraine is a distraction as far as I’m concerned.

That omnibus and our Deep State are a far more dire clear and present danger to us than Pootie.

My advice FWIW...

Assume nothing.

Verify everything.

Keep asking questions.

Victoria Nuland, in a carefully worded and evasive reply to Marco Rubio, has admitted in open testimony that there are biological labs in Ukraine.

The US Embassy in Ukraine has admitted to US funding for and involvement with at least some of those labs.

https://ua.usembassy.gov/embassy/kyiv/sections-offices/defense-threat-reduction-office/biological-threat-reduction-program/

And there is this:

Is this proof? Maybe not, but...
