According to Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the conduct of the "Boston experiment" suggests that there is no state system in the United States...MOSCOW, November 26.

/tass/. An artificial causative agent of coronavirus infection based on the omicron strain and the initial "Wuhan" variant was created in October by scientists at Boston University. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the radiation, chemical and biological Protection Troops (RCBZ) Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a briefing before the Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (BTWC).

"In October, an artificial causative agent of coronavirus infection was created at Boston University based on the omicron strain and the initial "Wuhan" variant. The modified virus obtained by the Americans caused the death of 80% of the diseased model animals with the development of atypical neurological symptoms and severe lung lesions. Testing of the protective properties of antibodies showed an 11-fold decrease in their ability to neutralize a new pathogen and the ineffectiveness of existing vaccines," Kirillov said.

The US Department of Health decided to investigate the activities of the university management. According to Kirillov, however, the "Boston experiment" suggests that there is no system of state supervision of R&D in the field of genetic engineering and synthetic biology in the United States. "Despite the high biological risks, the study was conducted at the expense of the American state budget without the appropriate approval of the national biosafety regulator," he stressed.
