Apr 2025

Bio labs are never totally secure because of human error. Plus Fort Detrick lab closed for months after lapses in 2019.

Wiki - “This list of laboratory biosecurity incidents includes accidental laboratory-acquired infections and laboratory releases of lethal pathogens, containment failures in or during transport of lethal pathogens, and incidents of exposure of lethal pathogens to laboratory personnel, improper disposal of contaminated waste, and/or the escape of laboratory animals. The list is grouped by the year in which the accident or incident occurred and does not include every reported laboratory-acquired infection.”

Plus more than 100 labs studying deadly viruses

“Growing number of high-security pathogen labs around world raises concerns
New analysis tallies more than 100 labs studying deadly human and animal viruses”

“The number of high-containment labs studying the deadliest known pathogens is booming. A new analysis warns the growing number of labs is raising risks of an accidental release or misuse of germs such as the Ebola and Nipah viruses.“
