This is another move to cull the vast American herd of poor people in a country that doesn't have universal health care, like every modern developed Western nation has. Note that Russia continued its chemical-biological weapons research after the USSR fell. The Ukrainian intelligence services did the USIC a favor when they rendered ineffective the chief of Russia's CBRN program last year (General Igor Kirillov). Let's see if USSECDEF Pete Hogsbreath cuts the budget of the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, MD.

Before the incompetent beaker washers killed 7M with covid, I would have probably said to keep the lab open. But, I have had a change of heart. We don't need these -------- doing this sort of research.
