DISINFO: The US and Big Pharma will use mosquitoes as bioweapons
SUMMARY
The US is planning to use mosquitoes to infect enemy troops with dangerous diseases. One US-sponsored mosquito factory is already operating in Colombia. These efforts are supported by Big Pharma.
Governments in the US and UK are creating a biosecurity regulatory framework that allows them to shirk responsibility for their actions under the pretext of combating a biohazard. The COVID-19 pandemic indirectly confirms this.
This truth has been uncovered "thanks to the special military operation in Ukraine".
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US producing biological weapons in Ukraine and about the war in Ukraine, portraying the US and the West as alleged aggressors. Both narratives aim to shift attention away from Russia's responsibility for its war on Ukraine and its full-scale invasion.
Ukraine has dozens of civilian public health laboratories that work to research and mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases, some of which receive financial and other support from the US, the EU and the World Health Organization (WHO), which pro-Kremlin disinformation falsely portrayed as military sites, deliberately blurring the line between biological weapons and biological research.
Russia’s claims about a US-funded biological weapons program in Ukraine have been widely refuted -including by the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu and by Russian biologists who examined Moscow’s “proofs”. This particular disinformation claim aims to push back against those debunks by falsely claiming that civilian research programs in Ukraine have a “dual use”.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives in our database, such as claims that Russia presented evidence of US biolabs in Ukraine at the convention on biological weapons, that new evidence of US military-biological activity emerged in Ukraine, that disease outbreaks in Ukraine are linked to the activity of US biolabs, that Zelenskyy ordered the destruction of evidence regarding the development of biological weapons, or that bio-experiments in US labs turned Ukrainian soldiers into ‘most cruel monsters’.
