Plum Island: "Even More Dangerous" (Pt 1) VVH-TV News Special Report

Plum Island: "Even More Dangerous" VVH-TV News Special Report (Pt. 1)
Department of Homeland Security is seriously considering approving a National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility on Plum Island in Eastern Long Island, NY. The facility would operate at what the government defines as BioSafety Level-4, which is the highest level of danger for biological research. The government defines BioSafety Level-4 as research involving "pathogens that pose a high risk of life-threatening disease in animals and humans through the aerosol route and for which there is no known vaccine or therapy." The Plum Island Animal Disease Center operates at BioSafety Level-3 -- only doing research on animal diseases. There are five other possible sites for the new facility. But the Department of Homeland Security, whose project this is -- and which also now manages Plum Island -- is bullish on Plum Island for it because the other locations on the U.S. mainland all have lots of livestock nearby and Plum Island doesn't. But, on the other hand, Plum Island is off the Boston-to-New York population center of the United States -- with lots of people. And BioSafety Level 4, importantly, involves life-threatening diseases for animals and people, and to top that off, for which there is no known vaccine or therapy. A public hearing was held in Greenport by the Department of Homeland Security on having the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility sited on Plum Island. VVH-TV Chief Investigative Report Karl Grossman was on hand to give us an up close look at both sides of this very serious issue.

These kind of facilities do not belong in populated areas like Long Island. They should be located deep within the Desert. Plum Island should be closed, cleaned up, and turned into a park.

plum island should be cleaned up and nuked

Calm down people, listen....We have two choices in this matter.....The lab and the Research of new solutions and cures to pathogens, yes there are risks, or two: to suffer millions of casualties as a result of pandemics which we did not prepare for...Your call .........personally as a microbiology major, I agree we build it, its necessary, but I do agree its stupid to put it in an urban area

@willsl321

The idiots are the ones who blindly accept the lies put out by the government not the ones who question those same lies.

[Lightrider22]

Then explain the Montauk Monster that washed up onshore in NY? And the whistleblowers' accounts of genetically altered humans there, one of which also washed up onshore. You can't believe what you're told by the gov. or media. And they're not going to report this because they aren't in charge. Check J. Ventura's videos on this, he caught the dr. in charge of it lying to a Congressman about it. Wanna believe all is good and the government cares about you - go on and graze. baaaa.

[willsl321]

you conspiracy theory people are idiots. They're trying to CURE diseases at these labs.
