Cutting the Pentagon threatens programs that provide loose nuts and weapons for mass destruction

Partnership with local health authorities not only helps to prevent the next epidemic, but also guarantees that these virological samples are maintained – “So it will not accidentally run out of these public health facilities or not be stolen from terrorists In an interview with 2022S

DTRA staff works as a “early warning system,” said an Wired Congress official before every US military deployment, they say. Although it may not be a traditional type of military force, they add, it must still fit into the priorities of this administration. “This provides our border of pathogens.”

Independent analysis Conducted for the Pentagon in 2022, found that these threat reduction programs were “well -positioned to respond quickly to emerging (weapons of mass destruction); Its authorities are unique and fill an existing gap. “

Programs like DTRA should be expanded, not cut off, says Gigi Gonval, a professor at the Jones Hopkins Health Security Center. These are mainly national security programs, according to her, designed to “give themselves eyes and ears around the world to quell these fires or to prevent them from happening in the first place.”

If you do not quell the fire – whether it is a new infectious disease or a chemical weapons program in a fraudulent state – this will continue to grow, Gonval adds. “We have areas of the world that do not have fire services,” she says. “By helping them help themselves, we help them activate themselves.”

“Fire Sale of Expertise”

Efforts to reduce the threat of the Pentagon and DTRA herself stem from the work of former US senators Sam Nun, Democrat, and Richard Lugar, Republican to provide weapons of mass destruction After the fall of the Soviet UnionS America, through its work, destroyed thousands of ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads, dumped tens of thousands of pounds of chemical weapons and dismantled Soviet laboratories for biological control. In 1998, DTRA was officially created and gave a more expensive mandate to track and destroy chemical and biological threats, while helping other countries do the same.

For your work DTRA has been Directed by the efforts of Russian misinformationWith Moscow, accusing America of biological weapons in those DTRA -funded laboratories. After the full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Conspiracy theorists In America, it has raised this topic, suggesting that the invasion is covered for the destruction of these laboratories for biological lands.

The fears of DTRA’s work have since been raised by the Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy -Jr.., Director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabardand Russia itselfS Republican Senator Rand Paul has repeatedly issued summons DTRA is looking for evidence that she has been involved in dangerous virological studies and suggests that she may have had a hand in creating Covid-19.

“When Russia attacks this program, it did this because it wanted to erode our national security,” says Gonval. Russia may not believe these lies, she adds, but “they were extremely successful in making people with the power to believe in these things.”
