The US has created biological laboratories in Ukraine within the framework of Pentagon programs on developing biological weapons, US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. told political commentator Tucker Carlson.
"We have biolabs in Ukraine because we are developing bioweapons," Kennedy Jr. said. "Those bioweapons are using all kinds of new synthetic biology and CRISPR technology and genetic engineering techniques that were not available to a previous generation," he said in an interview with Carlson posted on the X social network (formerly known as Twitter).
"When the Patriot Act reopened the biolabs arms race in 2001, the Pentagon began putting a lot of money into bioweapons," Kennedy Jr. added. "But they were nervous at that time because if you violate the Geneva Convention, it’s a hanging offense," he explained. "So they were nervous about actually going full force into bioweapons development. So they transferred the authority for biosecurity to one agency in the HHS [the US Department of Health and Human Services]," the politician added. "But now, when you do bioweapons development, every bioweapon, it needs vaccine so you develop them side by side because in a 100% of the cases when you deploy a bioweapon, there’s blowback. Your side also gets sick," he concluded.
