Decent odds that they’re doing this specifically because NIAID is the institute that Anthony Fauci led.
Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub “pandemic preparedness” and “biodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.

The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.

More lawless slaughter at sea.

First strike in the Caribbean in a few months.

As usual, the “designated terrorist organizations” (note plural) supposedly operating the vessel are unidentified.

And no details on the victims smeared as “narco-terrorists.”
