Tulsi Gabbard Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud About U.S.-Funded Biolabs
Tulsi Gabbard (video below) released something that should make every American stop and ask a very simple question:
What exactly has our government been funding overseas in the name of “public health” and “national security”?
According to Gabbard, after months of searching through intelligence files, ODNI found evidence that the U.S. government has funded more than 120 biological laboratories in over 30 countries. These are not just normal hospital labs drawing blood and checking cholesterol. Some of these facilities have handled dangerous pathogens. Some have worked with highly contagious biological materials. And in some cases, Gabbard says, the concern includes gain-of-function research.
That phrase matters.
Gain-of-function research means taking a virus, bacteria, or pathogen and modifying it in ways that can make it more transmissible, more dangerous, harder to treat, or better able to evade detection. Supporters say this research can help scientists understand threats before they appear in nature. Critics say it is playing with matches in a gasoline warehouse.
Tulsi’s message is not simply, “There are labs.”
The bigger message is this:
The American people were told for years that asking questions about U.S.-funded biolabs was conspiracy theory, Russian propaganda, or treason. Now the Director of National Intelligence is saying the U.S. government did fund a global network of these labs, and the public was not given the full truth.
That is the real scandal.
One of the biggest examples is Ukraine. These labs are in a war zone. Russia is attacking, occupying, bombing, and destabilizing parts of the country. Gabbard says the intelligence community had already warned that at least one U.S.-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to Russian attack, seizure, or damage.
Think about that.
We were funding labs in a country that later became the center of a major war. Some of those labs may have had dangerous pathogens. And the people asking questions were treated like enemies instead of citizens.
This does not automatically mean every lab was a weapons lab. That is not what needs to be proven first.
The issue is bigger and more basic:
Who authorized this?
Who tracked the pathogens?
Who audited the research?
Who decided which foreign countries were safe enough?
Who had the power to classify this information?
Who decided the American taxpayer could pay for it but not know about it?
And most importantly, who lied when people asked?
Gabbard also connected this to the broader fight over gain-of-function research. President Trump signed an executive order in 2025 aimed at ending federal funding for dangerous gain-of-function research, especially in foreign countries where U.S. oversight is weak or unreliable. That matters because the danger is not only what America does inside America. The danger is what America funds outside America, where the chain of accountability becomes foggy.
If a lab in another country has U.S. money, U.S. contractors, U.S. equipment, and U.S.-funded training, then the American government cannot turn around and say, “Don’t ask us, that is not our problem.”
It is our problem because it is our money.
It is our problem because it is our national security.
It is our problem because one accident, one leak, one military strike, one corrupt official, or one captured facility could affect the whole world.
The public was told to trust the experts. But trust is not a substitute for oversight. Trust is not a budget audit. Trust is not a safety inspection. Trust is not a pathogen inventory. Trust is not transparency.
The people who told us “nothing to see here” need to answer for why there was so much to hide.
The government’s defense has always been that these programs were created for biological threat reduction, disease detection, and public health. That may be true in many cases. But even if the original purpose was defensive, the risk remains real. A dangerous pathogen does not care whether the grant proposal said “public health.” A lab accident does not care about good intentions. A war zone does not care about paperwork.
This is the lesson:
You cannot fund dangerous biological research around the world, hide the details from the public, smear the people asking questions, and then expect trust when the truth starts leaking out.
Tulsi Gabbard is saying the American people deserve to know where these labs are, what pathogens they hold, what research they conducted, who paid for it, who approved it, and whether any of it crossed the line into dangerous gain-of-function work.
That is not conspiracy theory.
That is basic accountability.
And after COVID, every American should understand this one thing:
When governments, intelligence agencies, scientists, contractors, and politicians all tell you not to ask questions, that is exactly when you should ask more.
