The Powassan virus link connects to Obama on Martha's Vineyard:

Powassan virus - Wikipedia

'....The first human case in the U.S. was New Jersey in 1970, and Russia in 1978....The only tick-borne Flavivirus in North America with human pathogenicity....found in the warm climate across Eurasia....Ixodes scapularis....'

The black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis also vectors Lyme disease on Martha's Vineyard.

Like any effective conspiracy theory, the Russian claim relies on some truths: Ukraine does maintain a network of biological labs dedicated to research into pathogens, and those labs have received funding and research support from the U.S.
But the labs are owned and operated by Ukraine, and the work is not secret. It’s part of an initiative called the Biological Threat Reduction Program that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly outbreaks, whether natural or manmade. The U.S. efforts date back to work in the 1990s to dismantle the former Soviet Union’s program for weapons of mass destruction.

“The labs are not secret,” said Filippa Lentzos, a senior lecturer in science and international security at King’s College London, in an email to the Associated Press. “They are not being used in relation to bioweapons. This is all disinformation.”
That hasn’t stopped the claim from being embraced by some on the far-right, by Fox News hosts, and by groups that push debunked claims that COVID-19 is a bioweapon created by the U.S.

Not secret eh ? Wonder how many Americans knew about these labs ? Oh there secret alright.

We did notice that two birds that fly over Russia were mentioned for bird flu in Russian biolabs reports, though the species were not named.

Ukraine map, post #52, shows Sumy as an epidemiological lab, so this is very likely the place where bird flu research was being performed. Through time and climate change, the virus seemed to be moving northward in latitude.

Dilyana's blog mentions studies linked to Walter Reed, Pentagon, etc. in Georgia. The first discrepancy found is that the following study is available, though not freely available in the U.S.: a $59 paywall/identity wall is a blocking factor for investigations.

We see that Dilyana's blog page mentions sovaldi for treatment of patients. This is sofosbuvir and it was mainly developed with public funds. Furthermore, sofosbuvir's target for Hepatitis C virus is NS5B. This links to African Swine Fever virus (hemorrhagic) which would be comparable to CCHF in wild boars as well as SARS-CoV-2:

It will pay the reader to read the article about public funding of sofosbuvir development and its link to the NIH, above. The glaring contradiction is that sofosbuvir cost was $36,000 - $84,000 while natural bioflavonoids cost practically nothing in comparison for polymerase inhibitors. In addition, Pfizer's mode of action of their SARS-CoV-2 RdRp inhibitor is very similar to the method of action of sofosbuvir on HVC NS5B.

Note that the bioflavonoid report mentions 'DV-NS5' which is dengue virus, a flavivirus, as is Powassan, vectored by Ixodes scapularis tick mentioned previously.

The funding report above shows that both HIV and HCV were developing in parallel. The Ukraine map in post #52 shows that Poltava is also an epidemiological installation. Poltava was famous as an HIV hub, so there's little suspicion that it would be discontinued or less important.

Another virus seemed to be moving northwards due to climate change, which would ensure Poltava's importance through time, and create more opportunities for GOF studies, temperature mutants, similar to Kharkiv for CCHF:

Poor deluded scientists.

Or maybe overpaid Deep State shills

Now we have TWO senior administration officials implying there is still ongoing dangerous research in those labs.

They may be Soviet era labs, but I can positively guarantee they're not working on Soviet era biology. Are you kidding? 20 years ago? Give me a break.

Current Russian media for Ukraine biolabs mentions bird flu and two species that migrate over Russia. Two more epidemiological labs link to the map in post #52 for avian influenza in doves, wagtails and tree sparrows (Passer). The latter show no symptoms and are also vectors of H5N1 in Korea. Fau Chi's gain of function studies for bird flu shown at Dilyana's Bulgarian blog are comparable. 1.) links the Ukrainian virus to the UK:
