I know the NIH Director is VERY concerned about reckless virology, so he should know that whatever AI served up this picture, it didn’t consider basic standards for PPE in BSL4. It’s against Select Agent law to wear this PPE kit and go work with Ebola.
It turns out that a contractor at the lab had deliberately cut a hole in a biocontainment suit over a personal dispute with a co-worker.
Researchers are supposed to wear these suits when they do experiments with dangerous pathogens. This is how lab leaks can happen!
