Russian Military Points to Presence of US-Funded Biolabs in Nigeria Amid Global Monkeypox Scare
The Russian military has spent over two months now detailing the extent and reach of the US military-biological research effort in Ukraine, revealing that the Pentagon has used the country as a testing ground for the study deadly weapons agents, and uncovering the tangled web of military, corporate and political interests behind these activities.
Russian Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defence Troops chief Igor Kirillov issued a fresh briefing on Friday, providing new information on US military biological activities in Ukraine, and as well as details on what his forces know about monkeypox, the smallpox cousin which has caused a global health scare in recent weeks. The Pentagon, he said, introduced a mandatory smallpox vaccination back in 2003, with US diplomats and medical personnel also required to be jabbed against the infectious disease.
💬 "This indicates that the United States considers the smallpox pathogen as a priority pathogenic agent for combat use, and ongoing vaccination measures are aimed at protecting their own military contingents," Kirillov said. The complete US "Army Smallpox Preparedness and Vaccination Program Implementation Plan" document can be found here. [...] Kirillov took note of the WHO's conclusions that the causative agent of the monkeypox virus being met today originated in Nigeria, pointing out that this is "another state upon whose territory the United States has deployed its biological infrastructure."
