🚨 A DEATH. A PLAGUE LAB. NEARLY 200 PEOPLE UNDER OBSERVATION. A researcher at a Russian laboratory studying plague has died after developing mysterious pneumonia. Nearly 200 people are reportedly under observation. President Trump called the situation a “big problem,” and the White House is monitoring developments. What exactly happened inside that lab? What was she exposed to? And why are so many people being monitored? We’re following every development.

At this point, this is starting to look less like confusion and more like information being deliberately suppressed. Reports disappearing. Warnings being deleted. A suspected second death being dismissed as “false reports.” If Russia wants the cover-up accusations to stop, release the evidence and answer the questions. x.com/MarioNawfal/status/210…
🚨🇷🇺 Russian plague reports are DISAPPEARING from the country’s media... The coverage of a SECOND suspected plague death at an Irkutsk district hospital have surfaced... but Russian authorities have NOT confirmed it. They're calling them "false reports." Coverage from Moscow’s Channel 5 and Kommersant newspaper reportedly vanished from their websites. Then there’s Baikalsk, a city in the Irkutsk region near the Mongolian border. The administration there had urged residents NOT to travel to the Shelekhov district just a few days ago. That warning was deleted, too. The more Russia says there’s nothing to see... The more there IS to see. WHO is seeking answers, but they're few and far between right now. Source: Insider Paper, Daily Mail / Writer: Marie

Everything We Know About the Russian Plague Outbreak — Ben Shapiro. He also raises a disturbing possibility: could this be a modified or antibiotic-resistant strain? If ordinary plague is treatable with antibiotics, the researcher’s death raises obvious questions.

Listen very carefully. They’re raising the same concern again: could this have been an altered strain of plague potentially resistant to antibiotics or more transmissible? Former CDC Director Robert Redfield says Russia’s unusually aggressive response is part of what concerns him.

THIS IS SERIOUS. A Fox medical analyst says he believes the researcher likely did have pneumonic plague, reportedly following a laboratory accident. He also notes the Soviet Union historically experimented with making plague more resistant to antibiotics.

This is exactly why we keep digging. There are still too many unanswered questions surrounding what happened in that lab.
Never sell all of $PLAGUE the conspiracies from many sides are adding up too much If that stuff would happen (if the virus is genetically modified, if it's alr spreading and they are covering it up) that would be much bigger problem than covid let alone hanta

CNN is now reporting that the situation has raised alarms across the Trump administration. U.S. officials are reportedly gathering intelligence and preparing for a potential public-health response. This is clearly being taken seriously.
The death of a Russian lab worker at an institute dedicated to studying the plague has raised alarms throughout the Trump administration, prompting a race to compile intel and plot for a potential public health response, according to sources familiar with the matter. cnn.it/4y2j9o9

The response still doesn’t seem to match the explanation. Quarantines, extensive contact tracing, international monitoring, all following one unexplained death at an anti-plague institute. Could this simply be extreme caution? Maybe. But with questions now being raised about the facility historically working on antibiotic-resistant plague, people deserve to know exactly what happened. Why such heavy precautions if there’s nothing more to worry about?

For anyone who is still wondering ⬇️
Why is this account called Yersinia pestis? Because Yersinia pestis is the bacterium that causes plague. It was responsible for the Black Death, the pandemic that devastated Europe and other parts of Eurasia in the 14th century. The same bacterium still exists today and can cause the three main forms of plague: bubonic, septicemic and pneumonic plague. So when you see Yersinia pestis, you’re looking at the scientific name of the organism behind one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. The plague has a name. This is it.

The CDC is now officially monitoring the suspected pneumonic plague case in Russia. They say the circumstances remain unconfirmed and there is currently no indication of a broader threat to the U.S. The world is watching Irkutsk closely.
CDC is aware of and closely monitoring reports of a suspected case of pneumonic plague in the Irkutsk region of Russia that resulted in a death. We are working across the U.S. government to assess developments as additional information becomes available. While the circumstances of this reported case remain unconfirmed, plague is a serious bacterial disease that is treatable with antibiotics, particularly when recognized and treated early. Pneumonic plague can spread person-to-person through respiratory droplets during close contact, which is why rapid identification and treatment of infected individuals, and monitoring of potentially exposed individuals, are important public health measures. At this time, there is no indication of a broader threat to the United States, but CDC and our interagency partners are prepared and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
