Yea. I used to think some of that stuff was outlandish conspiracy theory crap.
given events of the last few years, nothing seems outlandish anymore.
TASS is a Russian owned news agency, but this article is from two years ago. So either they have been sewing the biolab conspiracy for a long time, or there's something to it:
And here is a contract opportunity announcement on the US governments own website, for:
"Exception to Fair Opportunity for Countering Especially Dangerous Pathogen Threats in Ukraine"
sam.gov
So apparently, there most definitely are us funded labs there. Our gov and Russia seem to be a long way apart on the purpose of the labs.
