FBI investigating vials labeled 'smallpox' found in lab near Philadelphia

The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating “questionable vials” labeled "smallpox" and found in a freezer last night at a Merck facility outside Philadelphia, according to an alert sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership on Tuesday night.

There were reportedly a total of 15 questionable vials, according to the unclassified "For Official Use Only" alert, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News. Five of the vials were labeled as “smallpox” and 10 were labeled as “vaccinia." The vials were secured immediately.

The discovery of the vials prompted a lockdown of the facility, which has since been lifted. The FBI and CDC launched investigations, which remain ongoing.

Smallpox, a disease caused by the variola virus, is considered so deadly that only two labs in the world are authorized to store samples of the virus, including one in Russia and the other at the CDC in Atlanta.

Nothing to worry about. The FBI is on the case.

Maybe this is a friendly reminder of the importance of vaccines. I wonder if they'll tell us we might need booster shots.

How long had these vials been stored in that freezer at a Merck facility outside Philadelphia?

“Vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) is a large, complex, enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family.[2]

“It has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome approximately 190 kbp in length, which encodes approximately 250 genes. The dimensions of the virion are roughly 360 × 270 × 250 nm, with a mass of approximately 5–10 fg.[3]

“The vaccinia virus is the source of the modern smallpox vaccine, which the World Health Organisation used to eradicate smallpox in a global vaccination campaign in 1958–1977. Although smallpox no longer exists in the wild, vaccinia virus is still studied widely by scientists as a tool for gene therapy and genetic engineering.”

Probably just another ploy to make the people think the FBI is protecting them. They aren't. The American people have had it with the FBI and they will eventually shut them down.

Vaccinia virus is why vaccines are called vaccines.

Vaccine became a generic term, like Kleenex for tissues etc...

Send Fauci to confirm. I’m sure his small pox immunity is still good.

The FBI AND the CDC! what could go wrong?

The vials labeled “smallpox” probably contain smallpox vaccine.
