Trump management seems to surrender in the war against germs. A new report from the Wired Road Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) closed the federal laboratory dedicated to learning the world’s most deadly infectious diseases.
According to a string report, published Wednesday, the Integrated Research Institute in Frederick, Maryland was completely suspended in April 29 to suspend experimental research. The institution has long been investigating the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, including the high result “of infectious diseases, including Ebola and Lassa. The final fate of the enterprise is indefinitely at the moment.
This Integrated research facility It operates under the Umbrella of the National Allergy Institute (NIAID). This is one of them in North America, one of the research laboratory, allowed the biosafety level 4, the highest level of Bozafety to control the microbes that meet the criteria for the level; Also, the BSL-4 of scientists is one of the few places where medical footage can do in infected animals. BSL-4 pathogens usually cause serious or deadly diseases, can be easily spread with a laboratory setting and there is no existing treatment or vaccination. These pathogens include the reconstructed flu virus that caused Ebola and Lassa, as well as 1918 pandemics.
An e-mail sent by Michael Holbrook, Associate Professor Director for high construcation in an integrated integration facility, this is detailed for the closure of the object. Holbrook’s employees said that the enterprise’s Lassa fever, Sars-Cov-2 and Eastern Equestrian Encephalitis (EEE), A rare but often fatal mosquito virus Found in the northeastern US. However, the animals used for these studies will not be destroyed. He added that officials of the Department of Homeland Security will lock the freezers used for BSL-4 research.
“Sacrifice for research”, “Gigi Kwik Gronomill, a great scientist in the health safety center of Johns Hopkins.” If things are not used for a while, it will make more money to be ready to reuse. “
The closure of the integrated research institution of the HHS should not come in full surprise. On November, President Donald Trump promised to promise to be the head of the HHS since the victory of Donald Trump’s election victory To close the infectious disease research In the National Institutes of Health as soon as Trump coming to the post. Kennedy during confirmation hearings (error) claimed Federal financing for infectious diseases very preferred to study chronic diseases.
While connecting with the string, a NIH spokesman characterized the closure of the object as a “research situation” and blamed staff members without information. It should be noted that the director of the facility Connie Schmaljohn was put on administrative leave.
“This decision is to identify this decision and documenting documentation documents with the participation of the contract of contracting in this study,” Bradley Moss, the Director of Communications for the Research Services Department in NIH.
Given the basis for interrelated work in the government’s integrated research facility, some skepticism, how much the “reconstruction of the HHS) made by RFC JR, went up to date. Seeing the worst pandemic, which is still seen in a distance of more than a century, the investigation of infectious diseases can be bad news.
