Exclusive-WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy pathogens in health labs to prevent disease spread

(Reuters) - 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.

It’s hard to end a program with such lucrative kick backs to the funders.

There are thousands of these “dangerous biological" labs in the US, in every major city! US labs are working with "dangerous pathogens". Idiots.

Government programs always run forever barring - I don’t know what. Global thermonuclear war?

The Rural Electrification Administration (1935) still exists as the Rural Utilities Service.

Ya would think 1 bomb could incinerate everything. Bomb the building.

Bombs generally don't incinerate.

The limited hang out:

Hang out a little truth & sprinkle on a little BS

Russia will import some, turn them loose and blame Ukraine and America. China will join in but not curtail stealing what is left of our wealth.

My guess is it was scripted with Nuland and Rubio trying to get ahead of the story and control the narrative.

The US bio research labs in Ukraine are the subject of a UN Security Counsel meeting today, so maybe more about them will be brought to light.

These DoD fund projects in foreign countries need to be shut down imo.

You do not need to destroy pathogens if you are only working on food safety and have E. Coli and Salmonella.

Neither are that dangerous from release.

Indeed, Reuters would not normally admit things like this.

We went from “There are no biolabs in the Ukraine” to “Those bio labs don’t have any real dangerous pathogens” to Victoria Nuland (State Dept) saying they are very concerned that the Russians will release those dangerous pathogens.

And now we have Reuters, of all people, reporting that the WHO warned Ukraine to destroy their dangerous pathogens. But we don’t know when WHO made this warning or even if it was followed. I expect we will find out soon.

From the article:

“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.

The WHO would not say when it had made the recommendation nor did it provide specifics about the kinds of pathogens or toxins housed in Ukraine’s laboratories. The agency also did not answer questions about whether its recommendations were followed.
