Summary

The thread claims that U.S. government-funded biolabs conducting gain-of-function research exist in Ukraine and other countries, with details allegedly exposed by the DNI showing lab locations, pathogen storage, and defense industry connections. It asserts this research was covered up and calls for ending U.S. funding of such programs.

🧵 Here is the TRUTH: Dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr Fauci. @DNIGabbard exposed that yesterday. Using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the Intelligence Community and other government agencies, yesterday’s release highlighted one example of the many overseas biolabs funded by the U.S., the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war. 🔗 dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_S…

Slide 1: A draft President’s Daily Brief, written after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, details threats to Ukraine labs due to dangerous pathogen storage. Biden officials confirmed this on the record. The biolabs in Ukraine and other countries held and may continue to hold hazardous pathogens, they were built/funded by the U.S., and received substantial funding that powerful people and interests want to keep flowing.

Slide 2: A map created by ODNI using U.S. government data to show lab locations, biosafety levels at each location, the type of research being conducted, and if biological weapons were being stored.
#4
Slide 3: A list of labs and data pulled from the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine website that shows U.S. government funding, the contracting company used, and whether or not the lab had a permit for “especially dangerous pathogens.”
#5
Slide 4: Data compiled from open source information that was corroborated with U.S. government information including U.S. Embassy in Ukraine data, showing connections to the defense industry and research project data on U.S. funded highly pathogenic avian flu and other highly infectious viruses in biocontainment labs in Ukraine.
#6
The existence, history, locations and funding of these U.S. funded biolabs was intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely claiming that the labs do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise to be foreign assets and traitors to America. Those lies are still being propagated today by the same powerful people and their allies who wish to see this dangerous research continue with little to no oversight.
#7
.@POTUS rightfully took action over a year ago to put a stop to U.S. funding of gain-of-function research, to protect the American people and people all around the world.
#8
@POTUS ODNI will continue to work closely with partners across the U.S. government to identify where these dangerous biolabs are located across the world, what pathogens they contain, and to end dangerous gain-of-function research.
