Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims 'Bio Labs' in Ukraine Are Using 'Dr. Frankenstein Science' to Create Diseases and Vaccines

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) weighed in on the outbreak of an unidentified illness, suggesting that global bio labs, including those in Ukraine, are engineering diseases and creating vaccines as part of a sinister agenda.

As a mystery illness spreads in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Greene took to X to speculate on the narrative surrounding the outbreak. Reports indicate that the illness, which has caused over 1,000 infections and 60 deaths, could have originated with the consumption of a bat—a detail Greene compared to early claims about the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan.

"There are bio labs all over the world, like in Ukraine," Greene wrote. "They create diseases and experiment with them to create vaccines to be the 'cure.'"

"This Dr Frankenstein science should be illegal," Greene continued, accusing scientists of accidentally or intentionally releasing viruses—a claim similar to the debunked theory that U.S.-funded bio labs in Ukraine were creating bioweapons.

Zoonotic disease—infections that spread between animals to humans—are well-documented and highlighted as an area of concern among public health officials, particularly in areas where wildlife is commonly consumed by humans. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a 60% increase in zoonotic disease outbreaks in Africa over the past decade.

Greene also reiterated her opposition to COVID-19 vaccines. "One of the worst crimes against humanity in the history of the world in so many ways," she said. "To this day, I'm so glad I never took the jab."

Greene's remarks align with her history of promoting conspiracy theories. While public health officials and virologists have repeatedly debunked allegations of government-led virus creation, Greene's comments continue to fuel distrust in global health institutions and vaccine research.

Meanwhile, scientists are still working to determine the exact cause of the DRC outbreak, with malaria, meningitis and possible food or water contamination under investigation. Experts warn that misinformation could hinder public health responses in combating the disease.
