Up until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the USSR maintained an extensive bioweapons capability. Ken Alibek (aka Alibekov) defected to the U.S., debriefed the CIA and wrote a book about it called Biohazard. But it was never clear what was dismantled with Russia under Putin. I don’t have any inside baseball on this, but it was a reason I became concerned when DHHS under RFK Jr dismantled our pandemic preparedness and cut off vaccine development. It was tone deaf to the bioweapons from our enemies. People forget that it was both flu and the threat of bioterrorism that led DA Henderson and PK Russell to build BARDA for new countermeasures. Guessing this will be contained but it’s a wake up call that our national biosecurity is being dismantled and we’re vulnerable

What he says might be true…on the other hand it might not. It’s impossible to trust any statement coming out of DHHS. That’s not a judgement, it’s a simple reality. Let’s review the track record: since Q1 2025 they’ve made the following public pronouncements all fake, and knowingly fake: 1. Vaccines cause autism, 2. Same with aluminum or Tylenol, 3. Vaccines contaminated with aborted fetal remnants, 4. Measles hospitalizations in W Texas due to quarantine or isolation, 5. You can take Vitamin A, budesonide, clarithromycin instead, 6. “Leaky” vaccine or declines in protection 4% annually, 7. Canceled mRNA contracts despite their proven safety and efficacy, 8. Said there was no placebo testing for vaccines when I put up several pages listing all the vaccines tested in placebo controlled studies, 9. Forced unnecessary quarantines among Americans who did not have hantavirus…so much for “health freedom,”10. Waged war against biomedical journals that countered the pseudoscience from the corrupt wellness influencers, 11. Issued a conspiratorial MAHA Commission Report that’s little more than a thinly veiled PR pamphlet for the corrupt wellness influencer industry, 12. Halted most pandemic preparedness efforts in the U.S. we now have no plan for what happens when the next zoonotic spillover event occurs or next big arbovirus, 13. Demoralized the NIH to cause a significant exodus of some of its best talent, same with CDC, FDA…guess I’ll pause for now..
