The details of a potentially dangerous virus contamination that affected research labs in four European countries may remain shrouded in mystery. While acknowledging responsibility for the mix-up, health care company Baxter says it will not reveal the exact chain of events that led the unsuspecting labs to receive H5N1, the highly lethal avian influenza virus, in samples of less dangerous flu strains.

In early February, a Baxter facility in Austria sent an Austrian research company, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, samples of the human flu strain H3N2 that were contaminated with H5N1. Avir Green Hills sent the material on to subcontractors in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Slovenia. It wasn't until ferrets exposed to the samples started dying in the Czech lab that the mistake was discovered; H3N2 wouldn't normally kill the animals. Although a few press stories emerged in late February, the affair has received little media attention in Europe.

The problem was discovered when ferrets inoculated with the experimental mix died. Baxter was notified on February 6, but has kept quiet about the details surrounding the mix-up, the Canadian Press reports.

I remember that story too. Some low level tech guy in the lab decided to 'test' the vax and uncovered it.

BIG OOPS! for management if I recall... nobody was supposed to test anything!!

One could equally say Europe lost Russia! Russia doesn't 'need' EU energy, but the EU absolutely needs Russian energy!

In today's world we're pretty interconnected. I honestly believe we need each other to survive as a whole.

And Russia still has energy/oil agreements with Japan, China, India and Southeast Asia.
Europe is hurting far more than Russia.
And the BRICS are being wooed by nations from South America to the Middle East with Saudi Arabia changing sides along with its littler cousins.

The High Cost Of Blowing Up The World: Ukraine & The 2023 NDAA​

BY TYLER DURDEN

Authored by Matthew Ehret,

Will Americans wake up to the reality that they’ve been walking on the wrong side of history for too long or has the point of no-return been crossed?

Bipartisan insanity was on display again this week as the U.S. congress responded to Biden’s requested $37 billion in additional aid to Ukraine by giving him $45 billion bringing the total U.S. support to its Davos-managed disposable ward up to $111 billion.

The aid was part of an overall omnibus spending bill passed by both houses of Congress was a gargantuan $1.7 trillion and included $858 billion in defense spending which far exceeds any sum ever spent by a U.S. government in history.

Of that $858 billion, $817 billion is allocated directly to the U.S. Department of Defense while the remaining $29 billion will be allocated to national security programs within the department of energy.

Continuing to Weaponize Taiwan​

2023 NDAA Funds will be used to “strengthen” Taiwan in the Pacific with $12 billion authorized to assist Taiwan in purchasing weapons from the U.S. military industrial complex (with the $12 billion in ‘loans’ needing to be paid back over the course of the next five years of course). Of this fund, $100 million will be given directly to contractors to fill up a “contingency stockpile” to be used by Taiwan “in case of any future conflict”.



Additionally Taiwan will be invited to participate in the next U.S.-led Rim of the Pacific Military Exercise in 2024 and thus greater “Pacific NATO” strategy encircling mainland China. This exercise and broader Pacific NATO (aka Quad) anti-China arsenal of puppet colonies will be boosted by an additional $11.5 billion will be allocated to the Pacific Deterrence Initiative ‘to counter malign Chinese influence in the Pacific’.

Ex-Russian space boss sends shrapnel to French ambassador​

Dmitry Rogozin is believed to have been wounded in Donetsk by a French-supplied Caesar self-propelled gun
Ex-Russian space boss sends shrapnel to French ambassador

The former head of Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, who was injured in a Ukrainian strike in Donbass, says he has sent a piece of shrapnel removed from his body and a letter to the French ambassador in Moscow.

Rogozin was wounded in the Russian city of Donetsk on December 21, when the hotel where he was staying came under artillery attack. Russia’s Investigative Committee claims that Kiev’s forces used French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzers, which Paris supplied to Ukraine, to carry out the attack.
The former space boss said he was wounded in the right shoulder with shrapnel which landed “a millimeter”away from his spine. Local medical personnel could not extract the fragment, and Rogozin was transported to Moscow, where he underwent surgery before New Year’s.

On Wednesday, Rogozin told the media that the piece of metal removed from his body was sent to the French envoy in Moscow, Pierre Levy, along with a letter.

“You probably know how many civilians were killed in Donetsk and the frontline cities by French weapons and French mercenaries. It’s hundreds of people, including children,” the letter reads.

Rogozin, who was in Donbass leading the ‘Tsar Wolves’, a group of volunteer military advisers, said he hopes that Levy understands the extent of his personal responsibility for these deaths.

“As for the piece of shrapnel that the surgeons cut out from my spine, I ask you to pass it on to French President Emmanuel Macron. And also tell him that no one will escape responsibility for the war crimes of France, the US, UK, Germany and other NATO countries in Donbass,” he wrote.

The strike on the hotel in Donetsk killed two people, with several others wounded, including the prime minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Vitaly Khotsenko. Those killed were officers from the Tsar Wolves, Rogozin confirmed, adding that some members of his group were also gravely wounded.
The former space boss, who was once deputy PM and Russia’s envoy to NATO, promised to return to the frontline later this month and continue assisting those taking part in Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine.
