Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 08, 2026

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly overseen nearly $800,000 in federal funding for a research project involving a Russian laboratory with ties to the Siberian facility at the center of a suspected plague outbreak. Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that experts are questioning what really caused the lab worker's death. "Something is not adding up about this situation," said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University. "You don't quarantine 200 people for one plague case," she added. "You don't close multiple hospital units in response to one infection."

After spending years telling us that government funded virus research is a globalist conspiracy, it turns out the administration is just fine bankrolling biological roulette, as long as the roulette wheel is Russian.

Another Fauci ouchie!

I'm glad we have a personal injury attorney in place at the top of HHS. He will figure this out, and sue...somebody.

I'm confident that come January the Dems will conduct investigation after investigation. And get stonewalled at every turn. With reported death rates of 30-90% upon infection, the Red Hat Horde will be sucking down horse paste and bleach left, right and center. And our fascist regime will be busy telling folks there is NOTHING to worry about--that it's fake news from Socialists. Hang on for a wild ride in the coming year...
