DOJ Charged NIH Virologists for Transporting Inactive Monkeypox Virus, Article Argues
By
Bob Morris, MD, PhD
Summary
The article criticizes the DOJ's framing of charges against NIH virologists who transported inactive monkeypox virus. It argues that the DOJ press release misrepresents the situation by using loaded language like "foreign nationals" and "smuggling" to feed anti-immigrant and COVID lab leak narratives, when in fact the researchers were established scientists carrying inactive virus in a distinctive case, with FBI testing confirming the virus was incapable of causing disease.
