We have used facts to expose the false accusations of US politicians, and at the same time we also want the United States to clearly explain what really happened to the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory and give the world a clear account.
As for how terrible infectious diseases are, there are probably many middle-aged people who feel the same as me from that movie , Cassandra Bridge. The insurmountable infections, fleeting lives are depressing, and the wonderful performances and gripping plots are fascinating. Scientists are racing against the clock to save the lives of this train of people, desperate people are struggling to save themselves, but powerful dark forces are trying to cover up the truth at all costs, and this fictional film, released in 1976, is somewhat familiar with the scene in front of them.

In the film, three terrorists break into the "International Health Organization" building in Geneva, two of them inadvertently enter a secret location, break the container containing the pneumonic plague bacteria and are infected, one is injured and arrested, died of pneumonic plague shortly after, and the other escapes the fate of the international train to Stockholm, the fate of this car has changed, and the most frightening thing is that this catastrophic catastrophic infectious disease has no effective treatment, similar to the new crown virus that is now spreading around the world.
For the previously unrecognized new crown virus, scientists around the world have been working day and night to study, and now except for a very small number of people with ulterior motives, everyone has accepted the scientists' inference that this virus originated in nature and cannot be manufactured or modified from the laboratory. However, the forces led by some US politicians have disregarded the consensus of the scientific community and have ulterior motives in insisting that the new crown virus comes from China and promoting wave after wave of smear on China.

The hardest of these is U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo, who has repeatedly insisted that the virus "comes from a laboratory in Wuhan, China," but in fact the laboratory he says has always been open and in contact with international institutions and scientists. Pompeo insisted on planting dirt, but he never came up with evidence, even if he was exposed by reporters on the spot. This blatant act of panic is repulsive, but his repeated lies day after day also makes people wonder if he is trying to cover up anything by insisting that the virus comes from China?

In the film "Cassandra Bridge", there is a key role - the U.S. Army intelligence officer MacKenzie, as the Representative of the United States in the "International Health Organization", he knows that the germ that caused the disaster was secretly hidden by the United States there, which is a serious violation of international law, in order to "control the spread of the germ", but also to "prevent people from knowing its presence", he designed a road of no return for more than a thousand people on this train. Similarly, many people, including Americans, now suspect that the coronavirus has some kind of relationship with the U.S. government, and they think that the U.S. Army's Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory is the most suspicious!
△ Data map: Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory
The Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory, an hour's drive from Washington, is the largest biological weapons base in the United States, known as the U.S. government's "darkest experimental center," and has long been known for storing and researching a variety of deadly bacteria and viruses and for using humans for biological and chemical weapons tests. According to the US "politics" news website, more than 70 years ago, the US military chose Fort Detrick as the site of secret germ warfare, and for many years, it has been a secret chemical experiment and mind control experimental base for the CIA, and most of the activities of the base are also "confidential". According to US media reports, in the early 1990s, the Biological Laboratory of Fort Detrick had anthrax and other deadly strains and strains lost.
Last July, the CDC abruptly shut down fort Detrick's biological laboratory, saying it did not have a "perfect system" to purify wastewater. However, the CDC refused to disclose the details on "national security reasons." The New York Times previously reported that the suspended laboratory studies involved certain toxins that the U.S. government identified as "a serious threat to the health of the public, animals and plants, or animal and plant products."
Around the same time, an outbreak of respiratory illness in a community of retirees in Virginia drew public attention. At that time, 54 people developed symptoms such as fever, cough and general weakness, and 2 died. Outbreaks of respiratory illness in older susceptible people are not uncommon, but usually occur during the flu season, not the summer, local health officials said. Since the community is only about an hour's drive from fort Detrick Biology Laboratory, there was a suspicion of virus leakage at the time.
In March, netizens petitioned on the White House website to ask the U.S. government to release the real reason for the closure of the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory, clarify whether the laboratory is a research unit for the new crown virus, and whether there is a virus leak, but today the United States has chosen to remain silent.
Then, at the end of March, the CDC issued a "resumption order" to fort Detrick's biological laboratory, fully restoring its qualifications to conduct "specific biologics and toxins" research. Under the epidemic, the rapid reopening and mysterious "closure" of the Detricksburg Biological Laboratory are also of concern. As an American political analyst put it, the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory has always had security problems in its history, and if the United States asks the United States to enter the Chinese laboratory to investigate its allegations against China, should the United States also let China investigate the Detricksburg laboratory?

At the end of the film "Cassandra Bridge", the bridge breaks down, and the brave save as many lives as possible at the last moment; in the Us military intelligence agency in Geneva, after intimidating the female doctors not to reveal the truth, MacKenzie also leaves, and then his superiors instruct MacKenzie's men to keep a close eye on Mackenzie and the female doctors. Unfortunately, justice is not done in the film. The film is fictional, but the coronavirus and the people who borrow the epidemic are real. We have used facts to expose the false accusations of US politicians, and at the same time we also want the United States to clearly explain what really happened to the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory and give the world a clear account.
