A number of long-forgotten deadly microbes have
been uncovered in US government laboratories.

The highly poisonous substances were found in a
hunt triggered by the accidental discovery in July
of vials of smallpox at a lab in the National
Institutes of Health near Washington.
They included vials of ricin and pathogens that
cause botulism, the plague and a rare tropical
infection.
The substances, some dating from nearly a century
ago, have now been destroyed.
Officials from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
said some of its laboratories were cleared to use
poisonous substances and were checked regularly.
But the recent finds were from historical
collections that were once allowed to be stored
without regulation.

'Constant vigilance'

They included a bottle of ricin, a highly poisonous
toxin, found in a box with microbes thought to be
85 to 100 years old.
"NIH takes this matter very seriously. The finding
of these agents highlights the need for constant
vigilance in monitoring laboratory materials in
compliance with federal regulations on biosafety,''
a memo from the agency said.
The authorities said the newly discovered toxins
had been improperly stored but were in sealed
containers and no employees were in danger of
infection.
The search for unregulated toxic substances was
initiated after the discovery of long-forgotten vials
of smallpox in July.
The virus, believed dead, was located in six freeze-
dried and sealed vials. It was said to be the first
time unaccounted-for smallpox has been
discovered in the US.
The disease was officially declared eradicated in
the 1980s.

A rare tropical infection? We're fighting ebola, this people want to import another one for us.
The disease was officially declared eradicated in the 80s, but somebody want to make money from africans, hence coming out to tel us this disease is in their lab and they didnt knw. And they might send it out to the tropics again.

can u imagine? They've virtually tropicalized every disease in recent time and turn africa/africans into their testing ground and we, their specimen. May God help us.

Truth is weaker civilizations have always been preyed upon by stronger more advanced ones since the inception of time, so our current situation shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Loose borders, poor medical care/facilities/research centres, poor military defence tactics, survailance and weaponry. . . . Africa has been a dormant time bomb for a very long time, that just started ticking. . . . . This is obviously neocolonialism, good thing the Western powers are only being more diplomatic with their approach this time.
