Shut all of this crap down and incinerate everything. I can’t see any reason for continuing this kind of work!

Completely agree! This is the diabolical side of the military industrial complex that Ike warned about.

That my friend is the naked truth. Unfortunately a diseased culture at large will have much difficulty understanding that.

The perpetrator deserves punishment.

Is anyone going to punish the perpetrator?

Or will Fort Detrick just give him a raise and let him go? This will be another opportunity for a Democrat communist to destroy America from the inside.

Now you know full well that there are never any consequences. What's a little murder attempt with the plague?

Outstanding reporting, Sharyl! Safety first before everything else. Whether it’s patient safety in medicine or public safety with respect to bio labs!

It’s past time to close it down permanently.

This lab has a long history of safety violations. Any so-called journalist framing this move as "anti-science" is either ignorant or disingenuous.

The level of disregard is astounding. To sabotage a containment suit to 'punish' a coworker (or even an enemy) while disregarding the potential risk beyond the laboratory is supremely evil. Today's criminal justice system would forbid this but such ego and pride is worthy of pillory and stock in a public square.

Obviously it was "only a matter of time" until safety was compromised, or an employee went crazy, But Fort Detrick has had a long history of dangerous "mishaps" like the Anthrax release back in 2001, which prompted more stringent marshal law measures in the Patriot Act, based on the Dr. Bruce Ivans story, which was probably all intended to frame Ivans as a patsy, for what the W. Bush Administration needed as a cover-up and power grab.

"Adding to the controversy, Richard H. Ebright, a prominent microbiologist and biosafety advocate, commented on X on May 7, 2025, noting that the lab’s operations are managed by Laulima Government Solutions, a Native Hawaiian LLC based in an office park in Orlando, Florida. The company oversees the facility under a $116 million minority-set-aside contract, a detail Ebright criticized as raising questions about proper oversight for such a high-risk operation."

I think that contractor should be investigated to determine if they are controlled by the Chinese. Many firms there are.

I would also like for them to be visited by DOGE.

Has Laulima been fired? It should be. And if fired are we still paying the contract even as it has proven to be horrible at its job? Like typical USAID payments why do we continue to pay for nonsense and/or breech of contract. The revelation in all of this is that we have an extremely stupid government. When I think about the huge amount of federal taxes I pay as a retiree every year and the waste in spending at the federal level I want to ….

The corruption runs very deep. Just a couple of examples that make me question everything;

ALPHAWARRIOR @xAlphaWarriorx

Is the Trump card incoming? Hear me out!

The reason federal judges are suddenly stripping Trump’s ability to control USAID, fire unelected bureaucrats, or deport foreign criminals has nothing to do with “law” or “justice.” It’s a psychological operation. They’re trying to force Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act or Sedition Act, so they can paint him as an out-of-control dictator.

They used USAID to change the judiciary in Brazil, Romania, Ukraine, Israel and now they are working on doing it in the United States.

NGOs, Internews global media cartel, the ABA, street protests… it is all intrinsically linked.

Norm Eisen literally wrote the book on this.

EXPOSED: J6 Committee Member Jamie Raskin's $160M USAID Connection!

You won't believe this - Representative Jamie Raskin, one of the key figures on the J6 Committee sho received a pardon from Biden, is linked to a MASSIVE $160 MILLION from USAID!

Not only was he part of the squad trying to 'keep us in check' during the J6 hearings, but he's also the representative for Global Communities, a giant USAID contractor that raked in $160,000,000 in 2023!

George Soros received $260M from USAID.

He didn't spend his own money to destroy the American justice system.

He used ours.

There is so much more and even if only 10% are true, we have a huge problem.

Hmmm.... I used to know someone from Ft. Detrick who claimed that everyone there was subject to regular psych reviews after the anthrax terrorism incident. Guess that's not true.

I wonder what a "psych review" is. Maybe just checking that their thoughts are politically correct?

Susan Keller's avatar

As you recall, the anthrax incidents happened in 2001. Americans were pulling together at that time. The psych reviews were meant to weed out the mentally unstable, IMO.
