Expert Claims US Lost Control of Global Biolabs, Citing Security Risks
Alexey Shablya, an expert in chemical analysis and technical director of Yuzhpolimetall Holding, stated that Pentagon-funded biolaboratories worldwide have effectively fallen out of US control. Speaking to TASS, Shablya argued that these facilities, including over 40 in Ukraine, have become primary sources of biological threats rather than mitigating them. He noted that while the theory of SARS-CoV-2 originating from such a lab is not definitively proven, it remains plausible due to weak oversight and the widespread availability of pathogen data. The expert highlighted that advancements in technology and generative AI have made traditional monitoring efforts belated. This commentary coincides with reports that US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched an investigation into more than 120 overseas biological laboratories funded by US taxpayers. The probe aims to identify dangerous pathogens and halt risky gain-of-function research pursuant to an executive order by President Trump. The article underscores growing concerns regarding the security and transparency of US-sponsored biological research initiatives abroad.
