What do bioweapons have to do with the Department of Energy?
What do bioweapons have to do with the Department of Energy?
Anybody answering these questions PLEASE ? !!!
The Wall Street Journal published today that the Energy Department thinks COVID originated in the Wuhan lab.

Too little, too late. Wasting thousands of dollars to reach a conclusion any ordinary citizen with basic searching and reading skills could:
But the big news here is why is the Energy Department writing about this?
“President Biden specifically requested that the national labs, which are part of the Energy Department, be brought into this assessment because he wants to put every tool at use to be able to figure out what happened here,”
So it seems that those labs have capability to assess bio-weapons’ origins…
Another black hole in the US budget to hide covert operations?
The DOE's Biological Safety Program provides a forum for the exchange of best practices, lessons learned, and guidance in the area of biological safety. This content is supported by the Biosurety Executive Team. The Biosurety Executive Team is a DOE-chartered group. The DOE Office of Worker Safety and Health Policy provides administrative support for this group. The group identifies biological safety-related issues of concern to the DOE and pursues solutions to issues identified.

OK, then why are they participating in the “intelligence community”’s “efforts” to determine COVID origins? What are those DOE labs doing exactly? No one knows for sure.
It seems the DOE has dangerous bio-inventory which needs reporting and is probably doing Research with biological select agents and toxins (BSAT):
The Department of Energy (DOE) improved standardization for elements of its inventory management process and DOE National Laboratories paused BSAT activities until a comprehensive sweep was conducted.

Should we worry? What could go wrong?
Growing number of biosafety labs raises public health concern
According to a 2013 report to Congress, the number of these labs grew by almost 10 percent, from 1,362 to 1,495, between 2008 and 2010 alone. The construction of hundreds of new labs designed for working with dangerous organisms has occurred without any central oversight or clear strategy for expansion, congressional analysts and others say.

Are we just waiting for the next gain-of-function leak or release? Doomed to repeat history?
International treaties on bioweapons have zero control, not even voluntary reporting….
A weaponized spreading marburg or ebola could wipe out 1/3 of mankind…
I have attended many classes at DOE labs. I am not a scientist. I was an intelligence analyst. The DOE does assist the “intelligence community” in various matters. The other agencies typically do not have the scientific expertise to judge every piece of data they collect about some foreign nuclear power or weapons program. The various DOE labs specialize in different aspects of research, and to some extent, like universities, try to anticipate future avenues of research that might be lucrative or of high interest to the government. Most of the people who work for the DOE are not government employees, they are contractors. I have to be careful not to drift into anything classified here. I am not saying that a DOE lab is conducting biological research. But I can remember at least one location that has a nuclear forensics lab. They can use refined nuclear technology and isotopes to analyze things which frankly amazed me. So this doesn’t surprise me. There may be an aspect of the Covid Frankenstein virus which nuclear forensics was able to detect a key signature. Again, I am not a scientist. I have made an amateur historical study of science, rather, one of the many historical topics which I find interesting and am making snail’s progress increasing my knowledge and understanding.
