Biolabs in Your Backyard
There are
11 biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) labs in the United States
. If you count the BSL-3 labs, there are more than 200!
Is there one in your backyard?
Find out here
, then let us know below.

If you’re in Maryland
, you’re in the belly of the biolab beast with three BSL-4 and thirteen BSL-3 labs.
We’ve already got a
Stop Weaponizing Pathogens protest
targeting
Anthony Fauci
every Wednesday at noon outside the
National Institutes of Health
and
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
. (They're right across the street from one another in Bethesda.)
Fauci also manages the
NIAID Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick
in Frederick, MD.
Fort Detrick is where the anthrax used in the
2001 false flag attacks
originated, according to the FBI's official story.

If you're in North Carolina
, you’re in the vicinity of six BSL-3 labs on the University of North Carolina’s campus, where virus engineer
Ralph Baric
works.
Baric is the scientist who worked with
Shi Zhengli
of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and
Peter Daszak
of EcoHealth Alliance to create viruses eerily similar to SARS-CoV-2.
In fact, one of Baric’s viruses may even be identical. We can't be sure because
he didn’t publish its genetic code until 2020
!
Baric also works with Moderna, which holds the patent on the engineered
gene needed to create the furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2
. On December 12, 2019, before anyone would admit to knowing about a coronavirus pandemic,
an agreement
was signed to transfer “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates developed and jointly-owned by [Fauci’s] NIAID and Moderna” to Baric.
Baric justifies his risky gain-of-function research, claiming it was necessary to develop drugs like
Remdesivir
, but this "cure" is worse than the disease, as
Dr. Bryan Ardis
has revealed.

If you’re in Washington
, you’re close to one of the BSL-3 labs funded by
Bill Gates
, the
Center for Global Infectious Disease Research
.
At the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates employs one of the nation’s top virus hunters,
Scott Dowell
.
When
Anthony Fauci
decided to fund research on the H5N1 bird flu virus that was akin to weaponization,
Gates Foundation grants
supported Fauci’s hand-picked scientists and their gain-of-function experiments.
Gates has even funded experiments at the Pentagon’s military labs in foreign countries through Foundation grants to the
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
and
Naval Medical Research Center
, which operate labs in
Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore
,
Georgia and Ukraine
, among other countries.

If you’re in California...
Bayer
recently got
approval
to build an expanded biological research facility on its 46-acre Berkeley campus. This is where Bayer had an
ammonia leak in 2016
. As the
Intercept
reported, Bayer’s
30-year development plan
included a request that restrictions on certain kinds of DNA research be lifted. Bayer claims that it will not manipulate viral particles to make them more pathogenic, but the company has refused to commit to ruling out all gain-of-function research.
Since Bayer acquired Monsanto in 2016, the company has been mainly known for its agrichemical business, primarily its
carcinogenic glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup
, but we can’t forget that it is also a vaccine company.
Bayer is manufacturing
160 million doses
of CureVac’s mRNA jab this year. The agreement between Bayer and CureVac also covers potential SARS-CoV-2 variants.
CureVac
was one of the first companies to receive funding from DARPA to develop mRNA vaccines.
Stefan Oelrich of Bayer
said that if they had surveyed the public two years ago, asking people they wanted to inject mRNA gene therapy into their bodies, they would have had a 95 percent refusal rate, but the pandemic "has opened people's eyes."
Bayer
is one of the companies behind the Orwellian-named “Disinformation Dozen” campaign to censor and deplatform vaccine safety advocates. The project is likely run out of its PR firm Edelman, a notorious Monsanto spin-doctor. Matthew Harrington, global chief operating officer at Edelman, was an Event 201 participant.

If you’re in Massachusetts
, you live in the shadow of Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), a BSL-4 facility that the city tried to prevent with a ban on risky research in
2004
and
2014
. You’re also in a hub of nine BSL-3 biolabs, including the
Broad Institute
.
In 2021, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard launched the new, $300 million
Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center
, a collaboration of biopharmaceutical companies, including Genentech (a member of the Roche Group), AstraZeneca and Novartis, and technology and research companies, including DeepMind, Google Research, and Microsoft.
The Broad Institute is run by founder
Eric Lander
who made a brief cameo as the richest member of Biden’s cabinet before resigning in acknowledgement of a well-known, decades-long
problem
of abusive workplace behavior, particularly towards women–but not before doing a
pump-and-dump on his BioNTech stocks
.
On the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology during the Obama Administration, Eric Lander and
Eric Schmidt
crafted a
pandemic planning document
for the 2009 H1N1 outbreak that now reads like a blueprint for the government response to COVID-19 replete with terms like “social distancing.”
Eric Lander's Broad Institute was involved in the COVID origins cover-up through its DARPA-funded Foundry, which in January 2020, "to test the veracity of online stories,"
claimed to have analyzed the SARS-CoV-2 genome
and found that it was not genetically engineered.

If you’re in Kansas
, you’re in the new home of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Plum Island laboratories, the likely source of
Lyme Disease
and the
African Swine Fever
the CIA used to attack Cuba 1971.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is funding the construction of the NBAF, estimated a 70-percent chance that within the lab’s 50-year lifespan an accidental release from the lab could cause
a disaster with an economic impact of $9-50 billion
. As
Independent Science News
recently reported, when a National Research Council committee reviewed these DHS estimates they concluded “
the risks and costs could well be significantly higher than that
.”

Pennsylvania
is home to what Prickly Research's Edward Hammond cheekily dubbed "
CoronaTHRAX™
", the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research's gain-of-function research on combinations of SARS-CoV-2 and anthrax.
“It’s completely unnecessary and frankly bizarre,” Edward Hammond told Whitney Webb for her article, “
Engineering Contagion: UPMC, Corona-Thrax And ‘The Darkest Winter’
.”
It’s terrifying―but not surprising―that the Pitt Center would be doing such risky experiments. As Webb reports, its director W. Paul Duprex is a gain-of-function enthusiast who’s received significant funding from the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

If you're in Texas
, scientists in your state are cooking up airborne Ebola.
Outside the lab, Ebola only spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids and the scientific consensus is that it would be
virtually impossible
for Ebola to naturally acquire aerogenic infection potential. Moreover, military experts have concluded that Ebola is
not an effective biological weapon
for terrorists.
The Pentagon has been researching airborne Ebola since before the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) first published their “
Lethal experimental infections of rhesus monkeys by aerosolized Ebola virus
” in 1995. (One author is
Army Colonel Nancy Jaax
of Hot Zone fame.)
More recently, defense contractor Battelle Memorial Institute subcontracted part of a
$6.8 million award from Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
to the University Of Texas Medical Branch At Galveston for “Evaluation of Ebolavirus in a Novel Ferret Model.” This is concerning because respiratory droplet transmission among
ferrets
is a proxy for human-to-human transmission. The Galveston researchers wrote in their 2016 paper, “
The Domestic Ferret as a Lethal Infection Model for 3 Species of Ebolavirus
,” that their success in killing ferrets with Ebola “demonstrates the utility of this intranasal infection model in potential mucosal-mediated transmission experiments or small-particle aerosol challenge, the latter being highly relevant for biodefense-related concerns.”
