The Justice Department announced Tuesday that two foreign researchers with the National Institutes of Health have been charged with conspiracy to smuggle monkeypox into the United States and giving false statements to federal law enforcement.
The department accused 53-year-old Vincent Munster, a citizen of the Netherlands, and 38-year-old Claude Kwe, a citizen of Cameroon, of allegedly lying to Customs and Border Protection officials at an airport in Detroit about the contents of a large black plastic case they carried with them from a trip to the Republic of Congo in January, where an outbreak of monkeypox was occurring.
The two men, who worked at the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Montana, claimed the case contained diagnostics and testing equipment, but a subsequent investigation by CBP and the FBI revealed it contained 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers. The FBI has tested 20 of the vials so far and 17 have contained deactivated monkeypox virus.
“These NIH experts apparently broke our laws by smuggling viral pathogens on a packed commercial airplane from an outbreak in the Republic of Congo," United States Attorney Jerome Gorgon said in a statement. "Let that sink in."
Both men worked for the Virus Ecology Section of the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratory, where they focused on “emerging viral pathogens” and how those pathogens “cross the species barrier," according to the DOJ.
Both men face up to five years in prison if convicted.

After the fair trial, mind you.
This should be a capital crime.
Also, why is it not possible for tax-funded organizations to find qualified American citizens? Another case of our money be taken from us and then used to fund our own destruction.
Are ya’ll ready for our new sign on to Bill and Melinda’s GAVI?
Nothing ever changes.

So many questions unanswered...
Foreign national, illegal alien RAT “neighbors” aren’t going to be happy until they kill every American. Especially “da white gringo ones.”
I bet they hid it in their anus.
In their prison suitcases
They are everywhere. First dibs on jobs, police, in elected office and now scientists and look at the damage they have done.
That is in line with the queers back in the ‘70s who donated blood trying to infect straights with AIDS, because then real research would be done on the disease. Infect America, and reap the benefits.
prison in the Congo would be better, no federal prison is bad, in the hierarchy of confinement, city jails are the bottom.
Srednik has direct personal knowledge of researchers at NIH with absolutely no ethical compass. Pathetic. Many geniuses in a specific discipline are idiots overall. It goes with super-specialization detached from responsibility for others.

The two smugglers. Shoot them.
Not just NIH, EVERYWHERE!........
