Illegal Chinese-Run Virus Lab Discovered in California Raises Concerns

An illegal medical lab was discovered in Reedley, California, containing bioengineered mice, infectious agents, and thousands of vials with bio-hazardous materials. The investigation was prompted by a garden hose illegally attached to the building. Health officials found over 800 different chemicals, including unknown substances, and identified at least 20 potentially infectious viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents. The lab claimed to be testing mice for COVID-19 test kits. Local, state, and federal agencies worked to remove the materials, and a criminal investigation is ongoing. All the mice had to be euthanized.

Unlicensed California Lab Found with 20 Infectious Agents, CDC Reports

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local authorities have discovered infectious agents, including coronavirus, HIV, and hepatitis, in an unlicensed laboratory in Fresno, California. The warehouse contained lab mice, medical waste, hazardous materials, and medical devices developed on-site. Fresno officials euthanized hundreds of mice and found thousands of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material. The investigation revealed inhumane treatment of lab mice and the use of foreign chemicals without the required federal permit. The CDC, along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the California Department of Public Health, Food and Drug Branch, were involved in the investigation.
