Federal prosecutors charged NIH virologist Vincent Munster with smuggling biological materials into the United States. Munster leads the Virus Ecology Section at a top BSL-4 lab.
The case extends beyond routine customs violations.
It is a fascinating & interesting read. DARPA is mentioned. Quotes from article:
🦠
“One USG insider I spoke to in preparing this story, who has been investigating Munster and federal GOF research for years, called him “one of the worst members of the gain of function mafia.””
🦠
“Instead, many of the same institutions, many of the same researchers, and many of the same scientific objectives were then funded and remained embedded within the NIH-funded virus-hunting network overseen by Anthony Fauci’s NIAID. My USG insider source told me that Munster was a key EcoHealth Alliance collaborator. That is the part of the story Washington would rather forget.”
🦠
“Whether by necessity or by choice, NIH leadership is now doing something that should have happened years ago: treating biosafety failures as oversight failures rather than public-relations problems.”
