Unfortunately, the story from the Telegraph is behind a paywall, but there is a report of it from Modernity News, detailing that there has been a 50 percent increase in leaks and accidents in UK bio-labs since the age of Covid in 2020. These labs, as with all such labs across the West, are jam-packed with dangerous pathogens such as anthrax, rabies and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), to name but a few that we know of, and the labs are really close to major population centres. Who actually thought of putting these labs where they are?
Since January 2020, there have been 156 reports of lab leaks or accidents, around 42 per year in the UK, and that is a rise of 50 per cent relative to the years from January 2010 and December 2019. In that time 286 incidents were recorded in total, approximately 28 per year. Among the accidents was a lab worker getting pricked with a syringe with a virus similar to smallpox. Another lab worker lost a genetically modified mouse. It just disappeared and was not found. It would have been too bad if the mouse had been jabbed with the near-smallpox syringe.
As Robert Kennedy Jr, presidential candidate, who the media are now starving of publicity, says, these labs are all a threat to human life and need to be either better controlled, moved to remote areas, or shut down.

“The Telegraph reports that it has found a FIFTY PERCENT increase in leaks and accidents at laboratories in the UK since the outbreak of COVID in 2020, warning of “potentially catastrophic consequences” in the future.
The report notes that a Freedom of Information Act request sent to all British universities, government research bodies and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) yielded results showing that “dozens of dangerous viruses and bacteria including anthrax, rabies and Mers (Middle East respiratory syndrome) are being stored close to large populations, potentially placing citizens at risk.”
The investigation also found that since January 2020, there have been 156 reports of lab leaks or accidents, around 42 per year. That is a rise of 50 per cent on the years between January 2010 and December 2019, when 286 incidents were recorded in total, approximately 28 per year.
Some of the incidents recorded since 2020 include a worker dropping plates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bug responsible for TB at a former Public Health England lab at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham. At the same lab a worker was pricked with a needle containing HIV, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 2, and Candida albicans.
At other facilities, avian flu leaked from a cracked sample tube, an accident involving the bacteria responsible for life-threatening sepsis was recorded, and a worker was stabbed by a needle containing the Vaccinia virus, similar to smallpox.
At another lab, workers “lost” a mouse that they had genetically modified.
The Telegraph notes that not all incidents were disclosed because “some of the biological agents involved are listed in the Terrorism Act.”
American molecular biologist Richard H. Ebright, who has been vocal regarding his opinion that the COVID pandemic was a gain of function lab leak, further highlighted several terrifying quotes from the Telegraph report.”
