H5N1 Bird Flu Detected in Antarctica Right Next to U.S. Biolab After USDA Performs Risky Gain-of-Function Experiments On and Develops Vaccine For Same Virus

Virus now "spreading from pole to pole."

The United States operates only three year-round research bases in Antarctica: McMurdo Station on Ross Island, Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station at the geographic South Pole, and Palmer Station on Anvers Island in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Palmer Station, designated as a long-term ecological research site by the National Science Foundation in 1990, conducts various biological laboratory studies on marine ecosystems, birds, seals, and other organisms.

The Palmer biolab is located just miles away from Primavera Cape on San Martín Land, where Argentinan researchers recently detected the H5N1 bird flu virus in two dead seabirds.

H5N1 is now “spreading from pole to pole,” across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Antarctica, per National Geographic.

The detection of H5N1 so close to a United States-run biolab is concerning given that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been conducting dangerous gain-of-function experiments on the H5N1 bird flu virus to make it more infectious and deadly, as JonFleetwood.com has recently reported.

Even more concerning, the same USDA also happens to be developing a vaccine for H5N1.

A “loophole” in the international ‘Biological Weapons Convention’ (BWC) treaty allows world governments to produce bioweapons from “the most dangerous pathogens” known to man, so long as the stated purpose is for “peaceful uses,” like vaccine development.

The detection of H5N1 just miles from a biolab operated by a government that is simultaneously performing gain-of-function on- and developing a vaccine for the same virus raises questions.

Especially given the fact that the COVID pandemic has brought to light a pattern of viral outbreaks coincidentally occurring near research laboratories:

• Wuhan, China—where the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) biolab is located—is said to be ground zero of the first COVID outbreak.

• Mumbai, India—home to mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturer Pfizer Inc.’s research and development laboratories—is where the Delta COVID variant was first detected. An undercover video released in January 2023 by Project Veritas showed Pfizer executive Dr. Jordon Trishton Walker admitting his company had been exploring ways to “mutate” coronavirus via “directed evolution.” He confirmed that Pfizer scientists had been “optimizing” the virus’ mutation process by putting the virus “in monkeys,” and even emphasized the potential for an outbreak.

• Gauteng, South Africa—where Pfizer’s sub-Saharan Africa headquarters is located—is where the Eris coronavirus variant was first confirmed.

Dr. Richard Bartlett, a thirty-year Texas emergency room (ER) physician, sees the BWC treaty loophole as a grave danger to Americans.

“I believe it’s a disaster to possess a weapon of mass destruction with the government’s only solution being engineered at the same time,” he said.

Dr. Bartlett emphasized the coincidental nature of the virus’ discovery so close to a U.S. laboratory in the middle of nowhere.

“What a coincidence that a deadly pathogen has been found right next to a biolab at the end of the world,” he said. “What are the odds?”
