Feds charge foreign nationals working at the National Institutes of Health with smuggling monkeypox into the United States and lying about it (Michigan)
DOJ ^ | U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Michigan

Posted on 06/02/2026 6:49:26 PM PDT by dynachrome

Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe, both researchers with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory were charged today in a criminal complaint with conspiracy to smuggle monkeypox into the United States and giving false statements to federal law enforcement, United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. announced.

According to the criminal complaint, Vincent Munster, a citizen of the Netherlands, 53, is the Chief of the Virus Ecology Section, Laboratory of Virology at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton, Montana. Claude Kwe, a citizen of Cameroon, 38, is a research fellow in Munster’s section. The work of both men is focused on “emerging viral pathogens” and how those pathogens “cross the species barrier.” They work at a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory, which employs the highest level of biosafety precautions for scientific research of known and potential human pathogens.

On January 25, 2026, Munster and Kwe arrived at the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with travel originating from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, where an outbreak of monkeypox was occurring. Monkeypox is an infectious virus that can result in painful rash, enlarged lymph nodes, fevers and other ailments.

Munster and Kwe were inspected and interviewed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials upon their arrival. CBP officers observed Kwe and Munster traveling with a large black plastic case. Munster and Kwe falsely told CBP officers that the black case contained diagnostics and testing equipment. But subsequent investigation by CBP and FBI agents revealed that the case actually contained 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers. As of the date of the complaint, the FBI has tested 20 of the 113 vials. Seventeen of them contained deactivated monkeypox virus, one contained the Chickenpox virus, and two contained only human DNA.

Vincent Munster

Until now I always thought Herman Munster's last name was entirely fiction. LOL

Why didn’t they just go to San Francisco to capture some of the virus?

Well, by all means. Let’s ignore all the harm and destruction these mongrels do and continue to let them come here. BTW, are those 600,000 chinks still coming?

COVID was a pretty clear object lesson to the world - stop pursuing nuclear weapons and invest in bio-weapons. Much more cost-effective. Has the US upped its game on bio-weapons intelligence and defense? Very hard to know.

They also named a cheese, and a city in Indiana after him.

sounds to me like the lab also needs a reduction in Federal funding, you know, just so they’ll think twice before thinking about involving themselves in such illegal activity again ...

Ought to be pretty easy to spot the smugglers - they're the ones constantly scratching their butts in plain sight.

Smuggling monkey pox?

Uh... no the homos smuggle it in their pants after sticking their Johnson in to some unprotected anus of an African homo.

The lab is not safe. Those two clowns walked out with 120 vials in Styrofoam coolers.
