2022-11-04 at 2:55 PM UTC in China biolab accidents going unreported – Whistle Blower.Some have reportedly involved deadly pathogens, and hundreds of cases have been kept from public view
Directors of America’s biolabs have admitted to hundreds of dangerous accidents in the past two decades, but even incidents involving exposure to deadly viruses have been kept from public view, an investigation by The Intercept has revealed.
“People have it in their minds that lab accidents are very, very rare, and if they happen, they happen only in the least well-run overseas labs,” Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright told the media outlet. “That simply isn’t true.”
The erroneous public perception could stem from the fact that, as The Intercept found, Americans don’t hear about US biolab accidents. The outlet obtained more than 5,500 pages of laboratory incident reports from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), compelling the agency to release the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Many lab mishaps are reported to the NIH, the world’s largest funder of biomedical research, but the agency doesn’t pass on the information to the public, even in cases involving Level 3 and Level 4 biolabs.
One such incident occurred in 2016, when a graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis accidentally pricked her finger with a needle after injecting a mouse with a recombinant strain of the Chikungunya virus, The Intercept said. The student didn’t tell her supervisor about the accident until after becoming ill and seeking treatment at a local hospital emergency room.
The university disclosed the accident and infection to the NIH, where the report was kept under wraps until The Intercept came calling six years later.
“That’s not a good situation,” said Scott Weaver, a University of Texas immunologist and expert on Chikungunya. “If that person knew they had a needlestick and they were working with Chikungunya, they should have reported it immediately. And then whatever health care people saw them should have recognized that there was a very small — but not zero — risk of them transmitting the virus.”
Chikungunya, which was first identified in Tanzania in the 1950s, is a debilitating and potentially deadly virus that can lead to chronic arthritis. In the local Makonde language, its name means “bent over in pain.” Outbreaks of the virus were reported in Italy and the US between 2007 and 2017.
The Intercept investigation found a wide range of other biolab accidents over a period spanning 18 years. For instance, in 2018, a US Food and Drug Administration researcher in Maryland contracted MRSA after working with the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The University of North Carolina reported five escapes of lab mice in 2013 and 2014. At least one of the rodents had been infected with SARS.
The Washington University Chikungunya incident was among five needle injuries reported by the school, despite its lab being a Level 3 facility where researchers wear double layers of protective gear, including two pairs of gloves.

Originally posted by aldra They succeeded in controlling most of the urban parts of two major cities, turning the country's entire economy to heroin and finding and killing the person they initially invaded looking for… in a different country.
the only reason they managed to "controll" those areas was mostly because those areas were uncontested or because they managed to bribe the local/regional warlords, or a combination of both.
those two theaters also served as US military Disneyland for grunts to earn their stars and flags to put on their chest and polish their CV and earn discounts from tactical dressing stores.
"americans" cherish their "vets" and afghan and iraq were this generation's best chances to be a proud "vets".
idk about the thing with osama getting raided in abot abad. it could very well be staged. anyway by killing him "america" had conceded defeat as the original stated goal was to bring him to justice. i'm pretty sure putting boolerts between his eyes wasn't justice.
its prole feed. -

Originally posted by Meikai There was no good way to withdraw, military brass drew up bad plans because it was the only option. Biden should not have approved those plans because they were obviously terrible. Which is why he is the only president in US history to be unanimously censured by both parties in the UK. Yes, including Presidents like George Washington and James Madison, who literally waged war against the UK (and in Washington's case, specifically because of colonial animosity towards parliament!) - even that could not unite the brits to formally censure their leadership. Biden is the only one, and it's because he bears FULL RESPONSIBILITY for the withdrawal and how it was handled.
Sorry, Vuthy. I know it's hard to comprehend what a free and open democracy looks like while you're on your back in a Siem Reap brothel getting your shitpussy pounded out by a 63 year old from Switzerland.
1- yes there are. look how the british withdrew from afghan and handing over their camp bastion to the afghais. it surely wasnt dunkirk.
2- your forgetting the sole reason for the withdrawal; it was the result of US military impotence and complete inability to achieve victory in any shade, form, or viscosity for over 20 years.
20 years. greatest military in the known and unknown universe, unable to win over sandal people with toyotas.
3- trump was right to withdraw, when bussiness arent goimg well the best strategy to cut losses is to declare bankruptcy. withdrawal is the war version of declaration of bankruptcy. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Yeah, without oxygen the brain shuts down pretty quickly 7 mins to 11 mins or so. residual electrical impulses (just like muscle spasms in the dead) isn't a sign of anything other than…residual electrical impluses. You can take a brain that's been dead for a month and pump electricity into it and then see things "firing up"…that's just the dead cells reacting to the electricity…same with muscles.
We've all heard the stories of people on the mortuary slab sitting up etc due to such things.
i prefer to think the brain as just a device like a crystal radios that turns the radio signal of our souls into electrical impulses that control our bodies. -

Q: at what range do 5.7 ammos punch thru body armors ?
A: at close range.
Q: why would anyone want to shoot anyone's torso at close range instead of their face ?
A: because faces are smaller target than torsos.
Q: which makes them easier to hit .... because
