Tass.com [a Russian state outlet] has just reported further charges by the Head of the Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces Igor Kirillov regarding the US-Ukrainian biological labs:
“The documents that were obtained confirm an attempt to subject them[Lila: Ukrainian military personnel] to tests of of previously untested medicines <…> that didn’t undergo an approval procedure in the US and Canada,” he continued. He said that such unacceptable approaches, with the tacit consent of the US administration, are usual business for large pharmaceutical companies.
“Thus, the Indonesian government in 2010 terminated the activities of the US Navy Medical Center in Jakarta due to numerous violations,” Kirillov said. “The work that the Americans carried out at this facility stepped outside of the agreed research program, as they carried out biological sampling and refused to inform the Indonesian government about the results that were achieved.”
He noted that the materials they received were used in the interests of the Pentagon-affiliated pharmaceutical company Gilead, which tests its drugs in countries that include Ukraine and Georgia.”
Lila: Gilead is the pharmaceutical company behind the expensive and ineffectual Covid drug, Remdesivir, that was promoted by WHO, Fauci, and the CDC, despite all the evidence showing its worthlessness and indeed counterproductive results.
Added: It turns out that Gilead was in an $800 million dispute with the Ukrainian government over monopoly rights for their antiviral drug sofosbuvir [marketed as Sovaldi] for chronic hepatitis C. There are 2 million people suffering from the illness in Ukraine and the drug, which costs $1000 a pill in the US and $60,000-80,000 for the whole treatment, was widely criticized for its expense. The dispute centered around the fact that Ukraine was not included in a deal that allowed lower income countries access to cheaper generics made by India.
Added: In 2017, Tass published findings by a Ukrainian hacker group, CyberBerkut, that US biological labs were running covert experiments in the country and were doing so under the direction of the Pentagon, via Maidan activist and US citizen, Ulyana Suprin, although formally under the Ukrainian health ministry. The hackers believed that outbreaks of rare diseases in recent years were not simply due to accidental leaks but were the results of active experimentation and testing of pathogens on the population. Outbreaks included AIDS/HIV, drug-resistant tuberculosis, swine-flu, leptospirosis, botulism, and hepatitis B and C. This would tie into Gilead’s anti-hepatitis drug sofosbuvir.
Added: Two companies involved in clinical trials of new drugs in Ukraine were Ascendis Pharma and Tricidia. It’s not clear to me yet if these were what the Russian MOD was referring to.
