Chief of the RKhBZ troops: In the USA, they created a variant of the coronavirus, which leads to 80% death of laboratory animals
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the RF Armed Forces, announced today at a Defense Ministry briefing that a new strain of coronavirus has been created in American biolaboratories. The pathogen was tested on laboratory animals and showed that as a result of infection, at least 80% of individuals die from a new disease.
The artificial pathogen of coronavirus infection was obtained as a result of experiments with the Omicron strain and the original Wuhan virus at Boston University in the USA in October this year.
Kirillov said.
The head of the RKhBZ troops said that when interacting with a new pathogen, the protective properties of the antibodies of an infected organism decrease by eleven times, and existing vaccines against it are ineffective. Kirillov believes that the very setting of such an experiment indicates that in the United States there is no system of state supervision over R&D in the field of genetic engineering and synthetic biology:
Kirillov stressed that the Pentagon monitors the use of dangerous pathogens in biolaboratories scattered around the world in real time. The US military department has the opportunity to access the results of experiments that are "ambiguous from an ethical and legal point of view." The creation of a new highly pathogenic strain of coronavirus was attributed by the head of the RKhBZ troops to the number of such experiments.
The head of the RCBZ troops said that on October 18, the White House published a new strategy to counter biological threats. Within the framework of the Strategy, the task is set to continue the study of pathogens of especially dangerous infectious diseases endemic to specific regions. In addition, according to the new doctrine, the United States intends to strengthen global control over the biological situation in the world and reserve the right to conduct "dual-use" research, including outside the national territory.
