Illegal Las Vegas Biolab Disclosure in Congressional Record Leads to New Federal Biosecurity Bill Shielding Pathogen Data From Public Scrutiny

A crisis narrative becomes justification for FOIA-exempt biosecurity expansion.
A recently disclosed illegal biolab raid in Las Vegas—now formally entered into the Congressional Record—is being used by lawmakers to justify a sweeping new federal biosecurity bill that would dramatically expand executive and national-security control over biological research while exempting large portions of pathogen surveillance data from public disclosure laws.  (See link for article which is behind a paywall)

What began as a garden hose sticking out of a building resulting in a code-violation call, turned into a raid by SWAT teams, FBI, and hazmat wearing workers.
The lab was found in a residential home where potential biological materials were in a locked garage. Over 1,000 samples were collected and are being tested.  There were multiple refrigerators with vials of unidentified liquids in gallon-sized containers along with a centrifuge and other lab equipment.
Chinese national, Ori Solomon, believed to be the property manager at the location, was arrested and charged with felony disposal/discharge of hazardous waste in an unauthorized manner, but has pled not guilty. Despite being in possession of a non-immigrant visa, he was in illegal possession of six firearms and subsequently charged with a felony gun crime. Officers found French and Israeli passports in his name as well. (Ori Salomon on the French passport and Ori Solomon in the Israeli passport).  Three additional renters in the home were evidently not involved. Source
An LLC tied to the home’s county records matches the name of a company which is part of an ongoing federal case in Reedley, California also involving a biological lab. Chinese citizen, David He (aka Jia Bei Zhu, Jesse Zhu, and Qiang Hewas arrested in 2023 for manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices and for making false statements to the FDA.  To deflect authorities He changed his name, and the names of his companies and their locations.
He and romantic and business partner Zhaoyan Wang, told prosecutors COVID-19 test kids were pregnancy tests in order to get them into the U.S.  He received money from Chinese banks and housed thousands of samples of potential pathogens labeled: HIV, malaria, TB, COVID-19, dengue fever, and Ebola, along with blood, tissue, other bodily fluid samples and serums, and 1,000 transgenic mice (engineered to mimic the human immune system).
Interestingly, He has not been convicted yet and has plead not guilty.
The items found in LA were consistent in appearance with the items in Reedley.

Authorities insist this is an isolated incident that poses no threat to the public, despite employees cleaning the house described feeling “deathly ill” after entering the garage, and multiple people who had stayed at or visited the house reported serious illness, including respiratory issues and extreme fatigue.

Ha, ha, ha……they must really believe we are stupid.
