'Malarkey’: US denies Russian and Chinese claims of bioweapon labs in Ukraine
washington examiner ^ | 3/9/2022 | jerry dunleavy

Posted on 03/09/2022 6:18:24 PM PST by bitt

The Biden administration is forcefully pushing back on Russian claims that the United States is running bioweapons labs in Ukraine, with the Pentagon calling it "Russian propaganda" and "a bunch of malarkey."

The Russian government and media outlets have ramped up claims in recent days that the U.S. was operating bioweapon research facilities in Ukraine, with Chinese diplomats and propaganda outlets also amplifying the claims. The allegations from Russia have stretched back years. The U.S. has consistently denied the claims, and Russia has never provided any proof.

“The Russian accusations are absurd, they are laughable, and, you know, in the words of my Irish Catholic grandfather, a bunch of malarkey. There’s nothing to it. It’s classic Russian propaganda,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday. “We are not developing biological or chemical weapons inside Ukraine. It’s not happening.”

At a Senate Foreign Relations Commission on Tuesday, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida asked Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland if Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons.

“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops and Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of,” Nuland replied. “So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.”

does not mean that it is developing bio-weapons.

Neither does it mean they weren’t.

Run-of-the-mill level 3 labs often handle dangerous pathogens

And if some of these labs are left-over research facilities from the Soviet bio-weapons program, then it would not be surprising if dangerous pathogens were stored there

Well, you’re right, but the pro-Putin types are going to be after you anyway for insulting their conspiracy.

We were doing gain of function testing at Chapel Hill which was the precursor that warned of the bat jump. I looked at those details at the beginning of Covid.

I don’t remember the details but it slid in because of something ao was allowed to continue despite the moratorium. I think it had to do with dates.

Why would anyone be shocked if Ukraine was also doing gain o function

Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC appears to be the brains behind this push to use gain-of-function research to create more deadly coronaviruses in order to then engineer vaccines

>>But just because a lab is doing research on pathogens, like hundreds of labs around the world are doing, does not mean that it is developing bio-weapons.<<

Where in the sam hell have you been during the last two + years? Good grief!

Why would Americans be suddenly worried about Russkies using commandeered nasties. The Russians have their own nasties to use. Either as an attack or a false flag to blame on Ukranians.

Look, I know a lot of people believe that Fauci and Dasczak were intentionally developing covid as a bio-weapon to depopulate the world or something, but I am not one of them.

I think it was foolish arrogance combined with unaccountability.

Do I think the Chinese military was closely interested in what was going on in Wuhan with an eye toward possible use as a weapon? Absolutely, there is practically nothing in China that the Chinese military does not have its fingers in.

Apparently Russia’s alredy been in a couple of these labs and retrieved documentation that notice went out to destroy the lab work before things esculated. That they have copies of the notice they will release....and poof these were US labs. (Dept. of Defense)

Problem is our media will defend Biden and just dismiss the evidence as Russian agitprop. The Deep State is immune.
