Russian Defense Ministry: The United States may be using the Gates Foundation grant to breed ticks and mosquitoes

Russian Satellite News Agency, Moscow, July 17th. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the Russian Armed Forces, said that Russia believes that the United States may have used the Oxitec biological company funded by the Gates Foundation to Breeds ticks and mosquitoes.
Kirilov said that the interest of the U.S. Department of Defense’s research agencies in the mosquitoes and ticks that transmit diseases such as Rift Valley fever, West Nile fever, and dengue fever is not accidental.
Kirillov said: “We have already pointed out that specialized agencies carry out such research not only in the United States , but also in biological laboratories located abroad. In total, more than 100 species of mosquitoes and ticks are being studied. In order to reproduce the vector on a large scale, Dual-purpose capacity may have been used, including that of Oxitec Biotech, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”

Kirillov said the U.S. biolabs in Ukraine have increasingly raised questions among U.S. citizens and politicians. He said that Robert Kennedy Jr., who announced his candidacy for President of the United States, severely criticized the US government’s military biological activities. The latter said earlier that the CIA had participated in operations related to biological weapons, including Operation Paperclip, which brought Russian and Japanese military biology researchers to the United States at the end of World War II to “pass on experience”.
Kirillov pointed out that the purpose of the project at that time was to develop an experimental weapons program and to attract the participation of experts from Japan, the only country that had actually used biological weapons. He said that Japanese experts had specifically studied the issue of the use of biological agents and the mechanism of using vectors to spread diseases.
