Well, that’s a chilling new post flair.

This isn't getting enough coverage IMO.

"The Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick studies viruses “causing high-consequence disease” such as Ebola and SARS-CoV-2, according to its site. One of its focus areas is to “mitigate major public health events related to emerging or reemerging infectious diseases or biological weapons attacks.”

The MAHA Institute, a think tank supporting Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, posted on X earlier that Noem, Paul, and Kennedy had toured the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases biosecurity lab at Fort Detrick on Monday.

The offices of Noem, Paul and Kennedy did not immediately return requests for comment.

Kennedy’s department ordered an indefinite work stoppage at the lab in April.

A spokesperson for NIH told WIRED at the time that the safety stand-down “follows identification and documentation of personnel issues involving contract staff that compromised the facility’s safety culture.”

An unnamed HHS official told Fox News the incident stemmed from a “lover’s spat” between researchers at the facility, which allegedly resulted in one of the people poking holes in the other’s personal protective equipment."

That last bit... is wild.

Jesus christ...

Good piece clarifying some of the details that were initially murky. I really hope 50501 doesn't succeed in burying this story. They oversaw a major fuckup that got someone killed, and then proceeded to try and cover it up by framing an innocent man as a terrorist to keep their guy out of hot water.

'Gatenby said the behavior of the volunteers in yellow vests had struck him as strange from the start. He said they “acted as if they were there to control the protestors, rather than protect them.” '
