There was blood and other bodily fluids in Gatorade bottles labeled in Mandarin, samples of at least 20 potentially infectious agents including malaria, dengue fever, and COVID-19 — and a pungent odor from what turned out to be nearly 1,000 mice.

Isn't this is pretty much what Russia accused the USA of doing in Ukraine?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes:

"Russia has claimed without any evidence that biological weapons are being developed in laboratories in Ukraine with support from the United States."

Another projection? "I said it first so now you are the culprit"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The Russian state isn’t exactly a reliable source of information about Ukraine or the US. They also claimed the Ukrainian government were Nazis.

Not to mention the 3 day special military operation that is 653 days past schedule.

Well they were found to have multiple copies of The Sims in their possession.

This is old AF and the only thing really going on with this place is that the people running it were disgusting pigs who could care less about bio waste disposal regulations, this place needed to be shutdown because it was a public health threat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It never should have been active in the first place.

I have to wonder who is in charge of monitoring medical supply orders entering from China, and who's watching over businesses that have dozens of shell companies that are able to run bio weapons' manufacturing on foreign soil?

This is some scary shit.

It's absolutely not a bio weapons lab. It's a COVID test manufacturing facility, they had a horribly ran research facility that was not properly disposing of their bio waste that they used for their research. So basically they weren't properly disposing of the COVID samples that they were using for their research for creating the COVID testing equipment that they were manufacturing. There is nothing scary about except corporate and foreign disregard for rules and regulations in something pertaining to public health, this company should be barred from operating in California and the greater US as well as other WHO sponsored nations.

The story is months old and this is basically just clickbait for the conspiracy chucklefucks.

It's a COVID test manufacturing facility

Unlicensed at the city, state and federal level. The 1000 mice were bioengineered to grow COVID antibodies but (the CDC also) found "infectious agents in the refrigerators including E. coli, coronavirus, malaria, hepatitis B and C, dengue, chlamydia, human herpes, rubella and HIV." Source

I’m not sure. Was Ukraine accused of manufacturing at-home test kits outside of FDA regulations?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does Ukraine even have an FDA?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

That was a joke. That’s what the Chinese lab was doing, so if the Russians were looking for biolabs like this one, that’s what they were looking for.
