Police crack down on clandestine virus lab in a Californian warehouse. The lab featured:

🦠 Tissue samples included HIV, Hepatitis and Covid-19,

🦠 A thousand humanized rats, bioengineered to catch and spread Covid-19,

🦠 800 different chemicals, many categorized as ‘unknown chemicals’

Insider: »An illegal lab in California containing nearly 1,000 bioengineered mice has officials concerned after improperly stored tissue samples were tested and discovered to contain infectious diseases including HIV and Hepatitis. […]

The makeshift lab contained roughly 30 refrigerators and freezers — some of which were non-operational — as well as incubators, medical testing supplies, and hundreds of mice. Several disease samples tested from the lab included infectious agents like herpes, coronavirus, E. Coli, and malaria, SFist reported.

Wang Zhaolin, a representative of the company operating the lab, Prestige Biotech, told investigators that the mice inside the warehouse had been genetically engineered to catch and spread the COVID-19 virus, according to The San Joaquin Valley Sun.

The warehouse came under investigation in March after a local code enforcement officer discovered a garden hose attached to a back wall of the building. As officials searched, medical devices that appeared to have been created on-site, such as COVID-19 and pregnancy tests, were also discovered, NBC News reported.

"Certain rooms of the warehouse were found to contain several vessels of liquid and various apparatus," NBC reported court documents related to the incident said. "Fresno County Public Health staff also observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material."

Nearly 800 of the mice found inside the warehouse were euthanized by officials, per NBC. An additional approximately 175 mice were already dead when they were discovered.

"There was over 800 different chemicals on site in different bottles of different acids," KRON4 reported the assistant director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health, Joe Prado, said. "Unfortunately, a lot of these are being categorized under unknown chemicals."«

The official suspect behind 2001 anthrax attacks was a non-Muslim American biologist, whose subsequent apparent suicide precluded a trial. Many questions remain unanswered, likely forever. The FBI thinks the bolded A's and T's are a DNA-based secret message inspired by the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach", never conclusively interpreted. Other notes (completing the message?) were never found. #bioethics #bioinformatics #bioterrorism

Dark Winter reads like the paranoid fantasies of someone who devoured too many Cold War spy thrillers in lockdown, except it's written by one of the world's leading experts on bioterrorism, pandemics, and biosecurity - Professor Raina MacIntyre - which makes it all the more fascinating and terrifying.

After years in the IC studying this potential threat and engaging with eminent scientists on it, I remain in the camp that generally thinks the scare is overblown. People constantly minimize the level of technical skill required. But sure, it's in the realm of all possibilities that one person with the skills and necessary resources might make an attempt. I don't lose sleep over it.

Additionally, these #monkeys imported from #Cambodia seem to have frequently been full of pathogens, including B pseudomallei , classified as a Tier 1 Select Agent (potential for #bioterrorism). B pseudomallei has a…checks notes…50% mortality rate.

The article interviews scientists claiming the #CDC is being reckless and non-transparent with the public, and notes that B Pseudomallei has recently been found in the soil of the Mississippi Delta.

@Columbkille The greatest danger remains an exchange between major powers. They should adopt a launch only after attack policy, and preferably work together on missile defense. And keep tight control of their nuclear weapons, not just from terrorists, but from renegades in the military. Maybe better foreign policy would make the world more peaceful... I guess we could hope for that.

In terms of non-state actors, I suspect that they will be more interested by #bioterrorism these days.
