We the People need to oversee these projects to make sure they are not producing war matterials. All War is Evil, No More War. Biolabs can be dangerous and can be used in war; Like Covid-19 fraud
My hometown of Manhattan, Kansas will be in the news when the lab leaks start at NBAF. Past tornadoes have past close to the area where the buildings are being constructed – but, not to worry, it will be safe.
The local farmers were opposed to NBAF coming to town given the history of the Plum Island disasters but not to worry it will not happen in MHK.
“NBAF is the first facility in the United States with biosafety level-4, or BSL-4, containment capable of housing large livestock. NBAF’s BSL-4 containment laboratories require the highest level of safety protocols and equipment so scientists can safely study and diagnose a variety of high-consequence animal pathogens.”
Level 4 – the highest level of dangerous unknown diseases- but not to worry, they will have safe protocols.
The local fire departments have been trained to respond and Fort Riley Military base is close, so they can also help when disaster happens – right?
NBAF buildings are located close to residential homes, a large retirement community, and next to K-State Football stadium complex, which holds 52,000 – so, when the unknown dangerous virus escapes, 52,000 people can spread the disease all over Kansas and beyond. And then CDC can study how a virus can spread rapidly though a population.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stand up the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) in Manhattan, Kansas. This state-of-the-art facility is a national asset that will help protect the nation’s agriculture, farmers and citizens against the threat and potential impact of serious animal diseases.
The DHS Science and Technology Directorate built the facility to standards that fulfill the mission needs of the USDA. DHS S&T reported construction was completed in May 2022 and contractor commissioning was completed in December 2022. In accordance with a 2019 memorandum of agreement between DHS and USDA, NBAF ownership and operation will transfer to USDA.
NBAF will replace the 68-year-old Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) where USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) currently conduct foreign animal disease research, training and diagnostics. ARS and APHIS will transfer their research and diagnostic missions from PIADC to NBAF and will operate the facility jointly.
Even after USDA takes ownership of the facility from DHS, it will still take at least a couple of years to transfer the full science mission from PIADC to NBAF.

Historically, the United States did not have a laboratory facility with maximum biocontainment (BSL-4) space to study high-consequence zoonotic diseases affecting large livestock and U.S. scientists had to rely on other countries’ facilities for that type of research.
NBAF has biosafety level-2 and -3 laboratories and is the first facility in the United States with biosafety level-4, or BSL-4, containment capable of housing large livestock. NBAF’s BSL-4 containment laboratories require the highest level of safety protocols and equipment so scientists can safely study and diagnose a variety of high-consequence animal pathogens.
NBAF also features a Biologics Development Module (BDM) for the pilot scale development of vaccines and other countermeasures, augmenting laboratory research and accelerating technology transfer to industry partners.
What about the horrific inhumane animal experiments that happen in these labs? Including dogs, cats, and primates. And then they get incinerated at the end of the experiments. It's not like they're experimented on for a little while then get adopted. Harvard has been sewing shut the eyes of baby monkeys. Most of the time it's taxpayer money.
When did all the 3 letter agencies CHANGE their formerly Well Known acromyns????
