The article treats this board as if it were a council of indispensable scientific giants.
Nowhere does it explain who these people are, what they accomplished on the board, or why replacing them is supposed to be a national crisis. Many appear to be career bureaucrats.
US legal requirements to screen genomic material being ordered and who is ordering it is common sense safety & security. This letter shows support for this in research & public health community, key industry sectors, & security community. Congress should move forward on it
“Any deliberate effort to conceal and smuggle biological materials into the United States without proper authorization is a breach of the public’s trust and could have placed the public at risk,” said Marcus Sykes of the Office of Inspector General at HHS.
2006 REWIND - FACTORY OF DEATH PART ll, FROM ERASMUS NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN LABORATORIES USA 🇺🇸
Vincent Munster and his wife Emmie de Wit obtained their PhDs in 2006 at Erasmus MC, with Ab Osterhaus as their supervisor. Ron Fouchier served as co-supervisor for Munster’s thesis. At the time, Marion Koopmans worked on the same Virology department and was a close colleague within Osterhaus’s group.
In 2009, Munster and de Wit jointly moved to the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), where they have since run parallel but complementary research groups. Heinz Feldmann has been Chief of the Laboratory of Virology and Chief Scientist of the BSL-4 facilities at RML since 2008. Feldmann, who is originally from Marburg, Germany, previously worked in Canada (PHAC) before joining NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in the United States in 2008. He recruited Munster and de Wit to RML in 2009. Feldmann is the overarching laboratory head under whom the research units of Munster and de Wit operate.
In early 2026, Munster was caught smuggling deactivated monkeypox virus from Congo. Emmie de Wit actively contributed to the scientific validation and licensing of Remdesivir — a drug that has proven extremely deadly for many patients — as a treatment for COVID19.
If you thought Parts I & II were explosive… Part III surpasses them both 💣

No, GOFers will re-emerge without clear legislation and proactive oversight. Remember how they used word games to try and wriggle out of the moratorium
On this day 10 years ago. Important to remember that concerns about biosafety/biosecurity breaches and government oversight didn’t begin with questions about the origin of Covid-19 … 1/
Last month, WCW was the first to report rogue NIH animal experimenter Vincent Munster’s suspension.
Read the anonymous whistleblower letter we received that blew the lid off the NIH’s virus smuggling and monkey bite scandals👇
@Rebecca21951651 I can only speculate. The original plan was that Institut Pasteur Shanghai would be involved in sequencing.
Jie Cui, who was responsible for RaTG13 at WIV, joined IPS in 2019. He may have had something to do with it. Idk. His name isn't on the paper,or the RaTG13 paper either.
Institut Pasteur sampled coronaviruses in Laos and Cambodia before SARS-CoV-2.
1965 bats - 0 sarbecovs.
But in 2020, the first cave they went to had all the answers.
Rocky Mountain Labs virologist Vincent Munster was "charged today in a criminal complaint with conspiracy to smuggle monkeypox into the United States and giving false statements to federal law enforcement"
“These NIH experts apparently broke our laws by smuggling viral pathogens on a packed commercial airplane from an outbreak in the Republic of Congo. Let that sink in,” United States Attorney Gorgon stated.

It’s basically: they were looking for a bat virus with a RBD close to sarscov2, in the next line they write where would be such bats living, they sample there and they get it! All in one go! Doesn’t this seem unbelievable! Why didn’t these authors tell this to the WIV before?
