Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known environmental lawyer and activist, has recently shed light on some controversial topics surrounding biolabs, bioweapons, and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in their development.
U.S. Biolabs in Ukraine
Kennedy began by referencing a revelation made by Toria Newland during a congressional testimony about the existence of U.S. biolabs in Ukraine. This revelation was largely ignored by mainstream media, and those who reported on it faced criticism. Kennedy suggests that these labs exist for the development of bioweapons, utilizing advanced technologies like CRISPR and synthetic biology, which were not available to previous generations.
Shift in Biosecurity Authority
According to Kennedy, after the reopening of the bioweapons arms race in 2001, the Pentagon began heavily investing in bioweapons. However, due to concerns about violating the Geneva Convention, the responsibility for biosecurity was transferred to the National Institute for Infectious and Allergic Diseases (NIAID), headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci. This shift resulted in Fauci receiving a significant raise, making him the highest-paid government employee.
Bioweapons and Vaccines
Kennedy explains that every bioweapon requires a corresponding vaccine. This is because deploying a bioweapon can result in “blowback,” where those on the deploying side also fall ill. To counteract this, vaccines are developed alongside the bioweapons. This development process is part of a field known as “gain of function” science, where infectious agents are modified to increase their infectivity or to jump species.
Concerns About Lab Escapes
Kennedy highlights the risks associated with these biolabs by referencing incidents in 2014 when dangerous pathogens, including smallpox, escaped from labs. These incidents led to public outcry and congressional hearings. In response, 300 scientists wrote to President Obama, warning of the potential for a global pandemic due to a lab-created microbe. As a result, Obama signed a moratorium, halting 18 of the most concerning experiments.
However, Kennedy alleges that instead of adhering to this moratorium, Fauci moved many of these operations offshore, with a significant portion ending up in the Wuhan Lab in China and others in Ukraine.
Funding and Oversight
While Fauci’s NIAID was a significant funder of these operations, Kennedy claims that other government agencies, including the Department of Defense, also began funding them. Interestingly, Kennedy points out that the largest funder is USAID, which he describes as a “CIA cutout.”
Conclusion
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s revelations provide a concerning perspective on the world of bioweapons, biolabs, and the individuals and agencies involved in their oversight and funding. As with all such claims, it’s essential to approach them with a critical mind and seek corroborating evidence.
