Alabama Mystery Illness Outbreak Near Gov-Funded Bioweapons Lab

The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is investigating an unknown strain of flu. Having ruled out bird flu, the ADPH suspect that Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) could explain the unidentified respiratory illness.

Dr. Mary McIntyre, assistant health officer for the ADPH said: “At this point, it could be anything. That’s why we called it a respiratory illness of unknown origin. We are testing for everything.”

Patients checking into hospitals who have the bacteria range from 20s to 80s and all came from Dothan, Alabama. McIntyre hopes to identify a communal link to what appears to be an epidemic.

She said: “Right now, we are not finding a connection…such as a place of work, a restaurant where they all ate, or a meeting they all attended.”

Two out of the seven who were treated for the mystery illness have died.

Peggy Williams, investigator for the ADPH commented that one of those hospitalized is in intensive care.

It is being circulated that flu-like symptoms are to be monitored and reported in residents; including having a fever, cough and shortness of breath.

McIntyre has defined some commonalities in the patients such as smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and morbid obesity. However in a statement , the ADPH made clear: “At this time, there is no epidemiological link between these patients.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working with the ADPH to collect samples for laboratory testing. These two governmental agencies hope to identify the origin and how it is being transmitted.

Mainstream media (MSM) are reporting of the possibility that this is an outbreak of an illness that starts “with common flu-like symptoms – shortness of breath, a cough and a fever.”



US News | Weird News | More ABC News Videos
The Southeastern Biosafety Laboratory (SEBLAB) in Birmingham, Alabama is approximately 200 miles from Dotham – where the “outbreak” of this mysterious flu-like illness has been discovered.

SEBLAB is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by $400 million annually from grants.

As an academic center, SEBLAB conducts research into bioweapons. In fact, between 2003 – 2004 the NIH signed 13 contracts with SEBLAB to construct the Regional Biocontainment Laboratories (RCLs) to “support basic research necessary to develop drugs, diagnostics and vaccines for emerging infections and biodefense, and to provide surge capacity in the event of a public health emergency.”

Six universities house RCLs as part of a consortium of facilities that study and develop infectious bacteria and research biodefense.

SEBLAB is a biolevel 1 & 2 containment facility that houses animals, utilizes “an aerobiology suite, imaging suite, irradiator, vaporized H2O2 decontamination and a decontamination” for research purposes.

Development into the possibilities of such diseases as small pox, West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, tularemia, and highly pathogenic avian influenza are permitted for research in the name of understanding bioterrorism.

Studies with these deadly viruses and bacteria are conducted nationally and internationally.

It is claimed that this research would assist local and state governments in working with federal agencies should an outbreak emerge.

In 2008, a report from the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism identified a clear and present danger of biological attack in 2013.

The Congressional Committee claimed that Middle Eastern nations like Pakistan were the most likely to be the origination of such an attack against the US or various other points across the globe.

Focusing on Pakistan’s nuclear capability at the time legitimizes naming them as a possible breeding ground for terroristic dissention.

The report states that “unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.”

Terrorists are expected to “obtain and use a biological weapon than a nuclear weapon.” This is due to the complexity of transporting a nuclear weapon and the ease by which a biological agent could be introduced into the environment which could wreak untold havoc.

Because there is access to biological and nuclear materials from “poorly secured and thus vulnerable to theft by those who would put these materials to harmful use, or would sell them on the black market to potential terrorists.”

This is some excellent research and once again it puts the whole Alabama thing back on the map to a degree. The numbers of ill are pretty low if it was a leak or even a intentional bio attack.
The fact that out of the ten or so only two died one is only left hospitalized and has gotten well enough to be in a regular ward not a icu and the rest have gone home, all those diseases listed as being potentially at that center should have killed way more of the original ones, and be continuing to spread which it is not doing that we are aware of.
God Bless

My wife and I have been up to the University of Alabama hospital 3 times this month of June 2014 for her liver disease. Shortly after our last visit, both she and I are coming down with something that feels like a flu. I'm coughing real bad, have nausea, fatigue, runny nose, site throat so far.  I've talked to my church leader 3 days ago and he said there's some people at church who got a nasty bug also. I hope we don't have this mysterious illness, but if we do, then my wife and I along with some others in Clanton, Alabama have it too. It doesn't come as a surprise to me that this "mysterious illness" could be concocted and then released by a biographies lab as there are allot of poor people in Alabama who are dependant upon the government for assistance. Releasing plagues is a good way to kill off the "useless eaters". I remember listening to Alex Jones at infowars ranting about how the elites plan to kill us with bioweapon releases 6 years ago. Never thought it would be so soon. I hope it's not.

meant to say bioweapons lab instead of "biographies". Tablet is posting wrong words using auto correct.
