Having some training in the U.S. Army’s Nuclear, Chemical, Biological program, I’m passingly familiar with the capability of those weapons. Having studied biology, I have a better understanding of the “bugs” part of “nukes, gas, and bugs” than I am sometimes comfortable with. Of the three, it has always been bugs that scare me the most: They can be deployed surreptitiously, they can spread through much of the population before anyone knows there’s a problem, and they reproduce and spread on their own.
There’s a lot behind that X post, but here are the high points.
White Coat Waste just uncovered a massive “biosafety breach” at “one of the most dangerous biolabs in the country.”
2 months ago, NIH quietly admitted that a deadly pathogen was “released, lost, or stolen” from its Rocky Mountain Lab in Montana.

Here’s more from White Coat Waste:
White Coat Waste’s @JustinRGoodman just broke down this shocking news with @BreannaMorello:
“Rocky Mountain Lab is where ticks were weaponized with NIH and DoD to spread Lyme and other diseases back in the ‘50s and ‘60s.”

“These are the same viruses that the Wuhan lab was doing gain-of-function with.”
Coronaviruses are good candidates for weaponizing. They are a big family; about 20 percent of the pathogens that cause what we call the common cold are coronaviruses, while most of the other 80 percent are rhinoviruses. Rocky Mountain Lab has also dabbled in things like anthrax, ebola and ricin, if memory serves.

I’ve been saying, and writing, for years now, that the first world was the war of chemists, the second world war was the war of physicists, but the third world war will be the war of biologists, and more than any other weapon, it has the most chance of making sure there won’t be a fourth world war – because there will be nobody around to fight it.
