"Toxic Covid and Pregnancy Tests from Chinese-run Biolab Expose Thousands of Americans"
Tens of thousands of Americans may have used unlicensed Covid and pregnancy tests made at a Chinese-run biolab in California that housed dangerous viruses like HIV and malaria. The lab, operated by Universal Meditech Inc, was discovered earlier this year with disease-riddled mice and samples of pathogens and blood piled up in storage. The FDA recalled 56,300 unapproved Covid tests sold in Texas and California, but did not mention contamination. Residents are concerned about potentially contaminated tests and frustrated with the local government's perceived inaction. The origins and purpose of the lab are still being investigated, and experts emphasize the need for strict biosafety regulations in laboratories studying infectious pathogens.
