I’ve never seen anything like this’: Illegal medical lab discovered in Reedley (Chinese)
Your Central Valley ^

Posted on 07/29/2023 7:42:31 AM PDT by TigerClaws

An investigation into a Reedley warehouse uncovered a large-scale illegal medical lab complete with bioengineered mice, infectious agents, nearly 30 refrigerators and freezers some of which were non-operational, incubators, and more leaving officials shocked and the public worried.

Local, state, and federal agencies are all involved and what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building.

It was inside an ordinary warehouse located on “I” and Ninth Streets in the City of Reedley that a disturbing and shocking discovery was made back in April.

“This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba.

Even county health officials were left in shock.

“I’ve never seen this in my 26-year career with the County of Fresno,” said Assistant Director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health Joe Prado.

What was supposed to be an empty building used only for storage was home to a black-market type of lab testing facility.

“So there was over 800 different chemicals on site in different bottles of different acids. Unfortunately, a lot of these are being categorized under unknown chemicals,” Prado explained.

The discovery was made after a local code enforcement officer noticed this garden hose poking out a back wall of the building.

“Frankly, we knew that should not have been there and when she went to investigate, she found that there was activity or operation or something happening within that building,” Zieba said

The city then obtained several search warrants to enter the building and once inside they found something they have never seen.

“There was a special room that was built housing about 1000 white lab mice,” Zieba explained.

What they found was absolutely terrifying.

“Through their statements that they were doing some testing on laboratory mice that would help them support, developing the COVID test kits that they had on-site,” Prado said.

Health officials discovered nearly 1,000 lab mice, 200 of which were already dead.

Also found were thousands of vials, many of which contained biohazardous materials including human blood, and other unknown substances.

“A lot of these labels have been removed from bottles so there was only so much testing. We could do those chemicals,” Prado continued.

According to court documents officials with the Centers for Disease Control tested what they could and determined that at least 20 potentially infectious viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents were present including E. Coli, malaria, and even COVID.

“I think because of that swift action that was taken we had been able to maintain public safety this entire time,” Prado explained.

Over the course of several weeks, officials with local, state, and federal agencies worked to remove the materials from the location

“There are no more biologicals. There are no more mice, but they still will see us abating, 30 freezers and fridges, medical equipment, and all sorts of furniture in there. They’ll still see some activity, nothing hazardous at this point,” Zieba said.

Officials are still trying to figure out what type of operation was taking place inside that building. Prado said the owners operated under the name Prestige Biotech and the company president was not forthcoming with information.

A criminal investigation is also ongoing.

“Some of our federal partners still have active investigations going I can only speak to the building side of it,” Zieba explained.

Both Zieba and Prado wanted to remind the public that the biohazard material was contained and disposed of properly and at the moment there is no real public concern. All the mice inside the lab had to be euthanized.

Everybody is horrified! Unheard of!

Everybody except Freepers. We have a traitor in the White House and our Repugnant Congressmen are castrated and our enemies are flooding across the border unimpeded and we're surprised they are manufacturing biological weapons of war?

I'm guessing there's an identical warehouse in every blue state.

How do you illegally attach a garden hose to a building? They punch a hole in the wall & run a hose through it? That's what it sounds like. I live in a state were we have Constitutional & Open Carry of garden hoses. So I'm a bit confused.

Do they happen to have photographs made inside that lab? Is there a description of what they found instead of all the adjectives and adverbs that were extracted from that description?

“I’ve never seen anything like this,”

That is because no one in world history has ever seen illegal immigration like this. Throughout world history, it was called conquest by invasion.

There are probably more labs, preparing to unleash upon the American people.

Biden is inviting in the evildoers of the world to come in and set up shop.

There are probably more labs, getting prepared to unleash upon the American people.

And Congress goes on a six-weeks vacation.

If the CDC is in charge, we’ll never know the truth.

True.
Also notice what it does not say. I.E.:

Gun toting feds were dispatched immediately to the Talladega racist garage door rope investigation. . .

But no need here, since the owners/operators of this potential terrorist bio-weapons lab are friends of the cabal.

Yeah right. And were the COVID and pregnancy tests tainted with any of these bacteria/viruses before they were shipped out?

“I” and Ninth Streets in the City of Reedley don’t appear to connect according to google maps. There is a police station a block over.

So in California, you can leave drug needles laying around, crap on the streets, shoplift up to $1,000, illegally cross an international border and be given sanctuary,

But, God forbid you hook up a garden hose illegally...

That would take a wide definition of “restaurant.” A lot of cats won’t even eat a mouse.

“...at the moment there is no real public concern.”

Sure. I completely trust all of our governments. They are competent and would never lie to us.

I’m 100% positive that this was the only “lab” that “Prestige” operated in the USA.
