Hundreds Of Deadly Virus Disappear From Australian Laboratory

[RAMROD 117,119]

 

The government has instructed Queensland Health — Australia’s public health department — to launch an investigation into what’s being described as a "major historical breach of biosecurity protocols," according to the online media statement, News.Az reports, citing foreign media. 

It was reported that 323 vials of multiple infectious viruses — including Hendra virus, Lyssavirus and Hantavirus — went missing from Queensland’s Public Health Virology Laboratory in August 2023.

Hendra is a zoonotic (animal-to-human) virus that has only been found in Australia.

Hantavirus is a family of viruses that can lead to serious illness and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while Lyssavirus is a group of viruses that can cause rabies.

The lab where the samples went missing provides "diagnostic services, surveillance and research for viruses and mosquito and tick-borne pathogens of medical importance," the release stated.

It is not known whether the infectious samples were stolen or destroyed, the statement said, and there is "no evidence of risk to the community."

The government has launched a "Part 9 investigation."

Is it worth noting this happened in 2021, was discovered in 2023 and is just being reported now. Also what is implied is they could have been disposed of without documentation, not necessarily stolen.

So thankful this is old, I'm already overwhelmed with following the drone/ufo situation

Or maybe a white knight secretly got rid of it so it wont be in the wrong hands or those who would use it to create another outbreak

Worst case scenario, it is in the wrong hands and there will be another outbreak or pandemic

There's been tons of sightings of drones recently around the US, I guess mostly in New Jersey?

There was a press conference a couple days ago with the FBI I watched part of on tiktok and started going in the hole watching all the footage, and it's quite weird because no one knows where they're from  I guess they haven't been able to capture one yet either
