On March 28, a reporter from China Central Radio and Television conducted an exclusive interview with Onishchenko, a 72-year-old academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and an academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

Onishchenko is a Russian epidemiologist and one of the first scientists to warn the United States to set up biological laboratories in countries surrounding Russia.

  Authoritative expert in Russian epidemiology: Be wary of US "bioterrorism"

  Headquarters reporter Yuan Tinglei: The United States shipped a large number of biological specimens outside Ukraine and collected blood samples from Ukrainian soldiers. What research is the purpose of collecting these materials?

  Onishchenko, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences: According to the information released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the United States transported 16,000 biological specimens from Ukraine and collected blood samples from more than 4,000 Ukrainian soldiers. I believe the actual number is much higher than this. many.

What exactly do they want to do?

Each country has passed legislation to strictly restrict the export of biological materials, including biological specimens, blood samples and other biological fluids, because these materials can be used to study the ethnic characteristics of their own residents and develop drugs for specific groups, including biological weapons. .

The international academic community unanimously banned biological weapon warfare many years ago and put an end to "bioterrorism". What the United States is doing in Ukraine and other places is the offensive biological military plan launched by the United States, the purpose of which is to realize its "bioterrorism" conception.

  Headquarters reporter Yuan Tinglei: About 10 years ago, you warned that the outbreak of African swine fever in Russia was caused by an American biological laboratory in Georgia, and its purpose was to destroy Russia's economy.

Did the recently released information about the U.S. biological laboratory in Ukraine confirm the suspicions at the time?

  Onishchenko, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences: Georgia also has a biological laboratory established by the United States. It is 40 kilometers away from the capital of Georgia. It is a super modern laboratory, and the Georgian laboratory can directly conduct research locally.

When we got a map of Georgia's laboratory structure, we found that it was significantly different from other ordinary laboratories. There was a place clearly marked for long-term storage of biological materials.

The African swine fever epidemic and "bioterrorism" you just mentioned sometimes use non-lethal military biological offensive methods, which do not cause death, but cause huge losses to a country's food security and economy.

The African swine fever epidemic was transmitted from Georgia to Russia. My opinion is indeed unconfirmed, because due to the objection of the United States, there is no verification mechanism in the Biological Weapons Convention. If there is such a mechanism, we can confirm it.

  Headquarters reporter Yuan Tinglei: The United States controls more than 300 similar biological laboratories around the world, many of which are located in countries around Russia.

Do you think that the existence of this network of biological laboratories already poses a threat to Russia?

Are there reasons for other countries to be concerned?

  Onishchenko, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences: Because the United States has never banned the military research and development of offensive biological and bacterial weapons.

I have carefully analyzed what the two scientific research institutions under the US Department of Defense are doing. They are already engaged in the research of genetic weapons. The relevant institutions of the US Department of Defense directly command these more than 300 biological laboratories located overseas. All research funds come from Defense spending, not spending on civilian programs.

So these studies clearly have a military purpose, they are not looking at how to protect the health of Ukrainian children, but an offensive military program that other countries should be concerned about.

  U.S. biolab chaos scourges the world

  Not only Ukraine, but the United States has funded private biological laboratories in many countries around the world.

It can be said that the overseas biological laboratories of the United States are all over the world.

What is its purpose?

How is the truth?

Is there a risk of leakage of dangerous pathogens?

  The Lugar Biological Laboratory, located on the outskirts of the Georgian capital Tbilisi, started operation in 2011. The Russian side said that the laboratory was built by the US Department of Defense, and the "Medical Research Bureau of the US Army Forces in Georgia" is located here.

  This laboratory has cooperated with a biological laboratory in Kharkov, Ukraine, to study the transmission of diseases from bats to humans, and has also discovered 6 virus families such as coronaviruses and 3 pathogenic bacteria such as plague.

  In 2015, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that at least 73 people died after being injected with what it claimed was a "hepatitis C drug" at the Lugar Biological Laboratory, which may have been conducting biological weapons research under the guise of drug testing in 2015. .

  The Russian side deduced that the biological laboratory was experimenting with a chemical or biological agent with a high lethality rate under the guise of drug testing.

  The Central Reference Laboratory in Almaty, Kazakhstan, was established with a US$102 million investment and started operation in September 2015.

Plague is a key research subject for the lab, along with other high-risk pathogens such as anthrax and cholera.

This laboratory is located in a prosperous urban area, surrounded by schools, residential areas, bus companies, overpasses, railways, etc.

  In East Asia, U.S. military bases such as Yongsan, Busan, Gunsan, Pyeongtaek and Osan in South Korea also have U.S. military biological laboratories.

  In 2015, a Utah military research institution sent samples of active Bacillus anthracis to Osan Air Force Base in South Korea in the form of ordinary packages.

The U.S. military's "Jupiter" program was also exposed, which is a biological and chemical weapons research program secretly carried out by the United States in South Korea against North Korea.

  Since then, the U.S. military has continued to deliver biochemical substances to South Korea in disregard of the pressure of public opinion. Until now, it has not stopped the "Jupiter" project, and has also launched a new biochemical weapons project - the "Centaur" project.

  According to the information of the Korea Agency for Disease Control, the US military stationed in South Korea has transported biological and chemical weapons experiments to the US military storage center "Busan Port No. 8", Gunsan, Osan, Pyeongtaek and other US military bases every year from 2017 to 2019. sample.

In addition, the US military stationed in South Korea conducted experiments on highly toxic substances such as botulinum toxin, staphylococcal toxin and ricin without the knowledge of local residents.

  As the news of the biochemical experiments conducted by the US military stationed in South Korea has been continuously exposed by the media, the dissatisfaction and anger of the South Korean people have been rising, and many civil groups have continued to protest outside the US military base.
