米国防総省などの支援により、ウクライナには西側諸国でも最高レベルの「米軍生物兵器研究所」が在るらしい。そして米国防総省は、ウクライナで軍人相手に危険な生物学的実験を続けて来たらしい。と囁き始められてから久しい。
こんな事は、日本のメディアでは万が一にも取り上げられることは無いのだろうなと思っていたが、偶然にもテレビからロシアの軍事侵攻に関連して、それらしいコメントが漏れ伝わってきた。
テレビ出演者は批判的な事は述べていなかったが、多分、米国防脅威削減局がウクライナとジョージアで「生物学的実験」を長く行ってきた事実に関連する話だと思われる。
米国防総省の生物学的脅威削減プログラムは、世界で最も危険な感染症の発生（故意、偶発的、または自然）の脅威に対抗するためにパートナー国と協力していますと謳われてはいるが、囁かれて久しい事は、
・米軍が行っている生物学的実験は常識的には（狂気の沙汰？）非人道的である。
・生物学的実験の病原菌は、「炭疽菌」「腸チフス菌」「ブルセラ菌」「クリミア・コンゴ出血熱」「コクシエラ・バーネティ（Ｑ熱）」「野兎菌」「ハンタウイルス」など、広範囲に及ぶ。
★日本国内では、アメリカに負けず劣らずと言うかアメリカを凌ぐほどヒステリックに、ロシアを口撃しているけど本当の目的の一つが「米軍の生物兵器施設の破壊と接収」だったら、如何だろう？
◆ウクライナとジョージアで「生物学的実験」を行っている事が、内部文書漏洩の記事で明らかになった様だ。
以下、訳抜粋と英語全文
米国防総省は、ウクライナの４４００人の兵士と、ジョージアの１０００人の兵士に対して、致命的な結果をもたらす可能性のある生物学的実験を実施した。漏洩した文書によると、全てのボランティアの死亡は２４時間以内（ウクライナ）と４８時間以内（ジョージア州）に報告されなければならないとある。
ウクライナとジョージア両国は、この地域で最も忠実な米国のパートナーと見なされており、その領土で多数のペンタゴンプログラムが実施されている。
プロジェクトの説明によると、血液サンプルは、ゴリにあるジョージア軍病院での軍の登録身体検査時に１０００人の軍の新兵から取得される。
サンプルは、以下の１４の病原体に対する抗体についてテストされる。
・炭疽菌
・ブルセラ菌
・クリミア・コンゴ出血熱
・コクシエラ・バーネティ（Ｑ熱）
・野兎菌
・ハンタウイルス
・リケッチア感染症
・ダニ媒介性脳炎ウイルス
・バルトネラ症
・ライム病
・エーリキア症
・レプトスピラ症
・腸チフス菌
・ウエストナイル熱
グルジアのプロジェクトＧＧ－２１は、アメリカ国防脅威削減局（ＤＴＲＡ）によって資金提供され、ジョージア国立疾病管理公衆衛生センターで活動するコードネームＵＳＡＭＲＵ－Ｇの特別な米陸軍ユニットの米軍科学者たちによって実施された。
彼らはジョージアでバクテリア、ウイルス、毒素を研究するための外交特権を与えられている。この部隊は、ウォルターリード陸軍研究所に従属している。
米国連邦契約登録簿から入手した文書によると、ＵＳＡＭＲＵ－Ｇはその活動をこの地域の他の米国の同盟国に拡大しており、ジョージア、ウクライナ、ブルガリア、ルーマニア、ポーランド、ラトビア、および将来の場所で「遠征能力を確立」している。

While the US is planning to increase its military presence in Eastern Europe to "protect its allies against Russia", internal documents show what American "protection" in practical terms means.
The Pentagon has conducted biological experiments with a potentially lethal outcome on 4,400 soldiers in Ukraine and 1,000 soldiers in Georgia. According to leaked documents, all volunteer deaths should be reported within 24 h (in Ukraine) and 48 h (in Georgia).
Both countries are considered the most loyal US partners in the region with a number of Pentagon programs being implemented in their territory. One of them is the $2.5 billion Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Biological engagement program which includes research on bio agents, deadly viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria being studied on the local population.
Project GG-21: "All volunteer deaths will be promptly reported"
The Pentagon has launched a 5-year long project with a possible extension of up to 3 years code-named GG-21: "Arthropod-borne and zoonotic infections among military personnel in Georgia". According to the project's description, blood samples will be obtained from 1,000 military recruits at the time of their military registration physical exam at the Georgian military hospital located in Gori.
The samples will be tested for antibodies against fourteen pathogens:
•Bacillus anthracis
•Brucella
•CCHF virus
•Coxiella burnetii
•Francisella tularensis
•Hantavirus
•Rickettsia species
•TBE virus
•Bartonella species
•Borrelia species
•Ehlrichia species
•Leptospira species
•Salmonella typhi
•WNV
The amount of blood draw will be 10 ml. Samples will be stored indefinitely at the NCDC (Lugar Center) or USAMRU-G and aliquots might be sent to WRAIR headquarters in US for future research studies. Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) is the largest biomedical research facility administered by the U.S. Department of Defense. The results of the blood testing will not be provided to the study participants.
Such a procedure cannot cause death. However, according to the project report, "all volunteer deaths will be promptly reported (usually within 48 h of the PI being notified)" to the Georgian Military Hospital and WRAIR.
［図表：According to the GG-21 project report, "all volunteer deaths will be promptly reported" to the Georgian military hospital and WRAIR, USA.］
The soldiers' blood samples will be stored and further tested at the Lugar Center, a $180 million Pentagon-funded facility in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.
The Lugar Center has become notorious in the last years for controversial activities, laboratory incidents and scandals surrounding the US drug giant Gilead's Hepatitis C program in Georgia which has resulted in at least 248 deaths of patients. The cause of death in the majority of cases has been listed as unknown, internal documents have shown.
The Georgian project GG-21 has been funded by DTRA and implemented by American military scientists from a special US Army unit code-named USAMRU-G who operate in the Lugar Center. They have been given diplomatic immunity in Georgia to research bacteria, viruses and toxins without being diplomats. This unit is subordinate to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR).

Documents obtained from the US Federal contracts registry show that USAMRU-G is expanding its activities to other US allies in the region and is "establishing expeditionary capabilities" in Georgia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Latvia and any future locations. The next USAMRU-G project involving biological tests on soldiers is due to start in March of this year at the Bulgarian Military Hospital in Sofia.
Project UP-8: All deaths of study participants should be reported within 24 h
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded a similar project involving soldiers in Ukraine code-named UP-8: The spread of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus and hantaviruses in Ukraine and the potential need for differential diagnosis in patients with suspected leptospirosis. The project started in 2017 and was extended few times until 2020, internal documents show.
According to the project's description, blood samples will be collected from 4,400 healthy soldiers in Lviv, Kharkov, Odesa and Kyiv. 4,000 of these samples will be tested for antibodies against hantaviruses, and 400 of them - for the presence of antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus. The results of the blood testing will not be provided to the study participants.
There is no information as to what other procedures will be performed except that "serious incidents, including deaths should be reported within 24 hours. All deaths of study subjects that are suspected or known to be related to the research procedures should be brought to the attention of the bioethics committees in the USA and Ukraine."

DTRA has allocated $80 million for biological research in Ukraine as of 30 July 2020, according to information obtained from the US Federal contracts registry. Tasked with the program is the US company Black &Veatch Special Projects Corp.
［図表：］
Another DTRA contractor operating in Ukraine is CH2M Hill. The American company has been awarded a $22.8 million contract (2020-2023) for the reconstruction and equipment of two biolaboratories: the State Scientific Research Institute of Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary-Sanitary Expertise (Kyiv ILD) and the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection Regional Diagnostic Laboratory (Odesa RDL).
US personnel are indemnified for deaths and injuries to the local population
The DTRA activities in Georgia and Ukraine fall under the protection of special bilateral agreements. According to these agreements, Georgia and Ukraine shall hold harmless, bring no legal proceedings and indemnify the United States and its personnel, contractors and contractors' personnel, for damage to property, or death or injury to any persons in Georgia and Ukraine, arising out of activities under this Agreement. If DTRA-sponsored scientists cause deaths or injuries to the local population they cannot be held to account.

Furthermore, according to the US-Ukraine Agreement, claims by third parties for deaths and injuries in Ukraine, arising out of the acts or omissions of any employees of the United States related to work under this Agreement, shall be the responsibility of Ukraine.
