Why does Russia now believe that Covid-19 was a US-created bioweapon?
Posted on August 7, 2023
[b]Abandoned papers found at US biolabs in Ukraine have led the Russian ministry of defence to declare its belief that Covid-19 is a bioweapon. Whether purposefully or accidentally leaked is not clear. What is becoming clear is that the holy grail of the imperialist bioweapons programme is producing diseases that will affect certain genotypes (Russian or Chinese in particular) more than others.[/b]
The Communists
Reporting of chemical, biological and genetic experimentation, ‘biosecurity’ and bioweapons has become so integral to the information war that it has become hard to disentangle fact from fiction, and truth from psychological operation, even for those with sound political instincts and a healthy scepticism.

The Communists
Reporting of chemical, biological and genetic experimentation, ‘biosecurity’ and bioweapons has become so integral to the information war that it has become hard to disentangle fact from fiction, and truth from psychological operation, even for those with sound political instincts and a healthy scepticism.
Yet the war in Ukraine is shedding some remarkable light on the global network of dual-use biological laboratories that the US state, and its military-medical research-pharmaceutical axis, has been building and operating.
When the many sources of evidence are collated – ranging from data found on Hunter Biden’s laptop to attacks on Latin-American crops, livestock, economies and national leaders, to the US-Ukrainian labs that have fallen into Russian hands during its special military operation – the systematic nature and remarkably sinister aims of the US biological programme are strikingly revealed.
Weaponising the Covid-19 pandemic – information and experimentation
As the Covid pandemic unfolded, there were multiple accusations and counteraccusations regarding the origins of the virus: Covid was a bioweapon released deliberately by China, we were told. Or it was a consequence of natural transfection due to the unnatural proclivity of the Chinese to visit farmers’ markets.
Or, there had been a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where experimentation into coronaviruses, including ‘gain-of-function’ research, is carried out – interestingly part-funded by the US company ‘EcoHealth Alliance’, which pursues such research, together with the US military and pharmaceutical companies, at multiple sites around the world, as we shall see later.
Weaponising the Covid pandemic as part of a broader anti-China propaganda war; this trope was carried worldwide by the western media and intelligence agencies.
The Chinese quite diplomatically but firmly pushed back against this propaganda, with US president Donald Trump in turn threatening to cancel Chinese treasury bonds – that is the $1.1tn of the USA’s $28tn national debt then held by China. (Was the Covid theory about a Wuhan lab leak right all along? by Jonathan Calvert, The Times, 4 March 2023)
The World Health Organisation (WHO) did not support this narrative and was promptly defunded by the USA.
In the context of escalating trade and military conflict with Russia and China, the narrative of the Wuhan lab leak is receiving another big push – although evidence of Chinese culpability is conspicuously absent from the web of assertions.
But gain-of-function research (enhancing transmissibility, virus replication, virulence, host range, immune evasion or drug and vaccine resistance) is quite clearly going on, and the prime movers behind this research are the Nato countries, and particularly the USA.
Weaponising pathogens, to be released in strategic locations as part of a multidimensional or ‘hybrid’ war on any nation that steps out of line with the hegemonic aims of Anglo-American imperialism and its allied and servant network of states, underscores this strategy.
Biological warfare and imperialism
Biological agents have been used in warfare for centuries. During the 14th century, Mongol armies catapulted the infected corpses of plague victims over the walls of the besieged city of Caffa, in what is now Fedosia, in the Crimea, to try to force the surrender of the city’s inhabitants.
But with the advent of modern capitalist imperialism, the wider extension and more intense nature of systems of exploitation extending over continents, combined with advancing scientific knowledge have increased the frequency and potency of their use.
What’s more, there are numerous post-WW2 examples of US and British state experimentation on the prison population, the military, and even on their own civilian populations to study the spread of pathogens.
If British and US workers were considered fit subjects for death-by-biological-weapons testing, one need only call to mind the colonial racism and arrogance of the British Raj and of the US elite to realise the contempt in which the imperialists hold the lives of their colonial subjects. It is thus quite easy to appreciate the penchant of these supremacist sociopaths for experimentation upon the subject peoples, with the aim of maintaining their rule and the source of their vast superprofits.
‘Biosecurity’, research and biological warfare
In February 2022, during the first weeks of the Russian intervention against the US-installed fascist junta in Ukraine, the Russian government and military highlighted their findings that the USA had been operating some 26 biolabs in Ukraine. The information they supplied was initially dismissed by Nato politicians and the western mainstream press as “Russian subterfuge”. (Russia plans ‘very graphic’ fake video as pretext for Ukraine invasion, US claims by Julian Borger, The Guardian, 3 February 2023)
“The Russian army has obtained documentary evidence confirming the Pentagon was involved in financing military-biological projects in Ukraine, the chief of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection force, Igor Kirillov, has said.
“‘We believe that components of biological weapons were being created in Ukraine,’ Kirillov said. He demonstrated a document dated 6 March 2015 confirming ‘the Pentagon’s direct involvement in financing military biological experiments in Ukraine’.
“He stressed that it was standard practice to fund US sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing projects in third countries, including those in Africa and Asia, through national health service agencies.” (Russian military has documentary evidence US funded bioexperiments in Ukraine , 17 March 2022)
Hunter Biden’s role shows direct links to the US president
Moreover, these claims were substantiated by leaked emails from the laptop of Hunter Biden (US president Joe Biden’s son), and even admitted to by some mainstream papers.
The Daily Mail, for example, noted that “the commander of the Russian nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces claimed there was a ‘scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects’ and pointed to the ‘financing of such activities by structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is headed by Hunter Biden’ …

Igor Kirillov also drew attention to the Bidens’ connection to the bioweapons programme:
“‘Incoming material allowed us to trace the interaction scheme between US government agencies and the Ukrainian biolab,’ Kirillov said, adding that the involvement in financing these activities by structures close to current US leadership, in particular Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca investment fund, draws attention to itself …
“‘At the same time, a close relationship has been established between the fund and key contractors of the US military, including Metabiota, which alongside Black & Veatch, is one of the main suppliers of equipment for Pentagon biolaboratories around the world,’ Kirillov added.” (Hunter Biden’s investment fund linked to Ukrainian biolabs engaged in pathogen research: Russian defence ministry, Global Times, 25 March 2022)

China’s view
Zhao Lijian, spokesman for the foreign ministry of the People’s Republic of China, was asked during a press conference – also on 8 March 2022 – to comment on the Ukrainian biolabs. His statement was far more balanced than anything to be found in scores of articles on the subject in the British press:
“Lately, US biological labs in Ukraine have indeed attracted much attention. According to reports, a large quantity of dangerous viruses are stored in these facilities. Russia has found during its military operations that the USA uses these facilities to conduct bio-military plans …

Lawless protectorates the ideal venue for unethical research
The extensive network of US biolabs points to the larger goal: the control and domination of the biological environment as a means of war.
Many analysts rank cultured and genetically-engineered biological organisms as the most dangerous of all existing weapons technologies, with the potential for producing far more extensive and devastating effects on human populations than even fusion nuclear weapons.

The special military operation in Ukraine
Russia’s SMO has unearthed – literally – evidence that “the regime in Kiev had urgently eliminated traces of a US Department of Defence-funded military biological programme in Ukraine. Ukrainian laboratories’ staffers testified that on 24 February 2022 pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases were urgently eliminated.” (Biden must explain his son’s involvement in biolabs operation in Ukraine – Duma speaker, Tass, 24 March 2022)

Genotyping to ‘racially’ target bioweapons
“We have already informed you that more than 16,000 biological samples, including blood and serum samples, were taken from Ukraine to the USA, Georgia and European countries.
“Against the background of the US administration’s assurances that the genetic information obtained from Ukrainian citizens will be used ‘exclusively for peaceful purposes’, I would like to quote a statement by Jason Crow of the US House Intelligence Committee at the North American security conference in July.
[…]
Increasing evidence that USA caused the Covid-19 pandemic
“In May 2022, Jeffrey Sachs – a leading expert in the respected medical journal The Lancet and professor at Columbia University, which is the leading academic institution for global biosecurity – told a conference in Spain that ‘the coronavirus was artificially created and is very likely to have been created using American advances in biotechnology’.
“‘According to our experts, this is evidenced by the uncharacteristic variability of the genovariants that cause different peaks in the incidence of coronaviruses, significant differences in lethality and contagiousness, uneven geographical distribution, and the unpredictable nature of the epidemic process as a whole. It appears that despite efforts to contain and isolate the disease, the pandemic is being artificially fuelled by the introduction of new variants of the virus in a particular region.
“‘We are considering the possibility that the US Agency for International Development (USAid) was involved in the emergence of the new coronavirus. Since 2009, the agency has funded the Predict programme, which has investigated new species of coronaviruses by capturing bats that carry the viruses. One of the contractors for the project was Metabiota, a company known for its military-biological activities in Ukraine.’
