Kawaoka deliberately tried to recreate deadly Spanish flu that killed millions
Similar experiments on bird flu and the infamous 1918 Spanish flu have taken place at Dr. Kawaoka’s lab in the past, which was constructed with taxpayer dollars to the tune of $12.5 million. Known as the Institute for Influenza Virus Research, the lab was designed with Biosafety Level-3-Agriculture protection, which is one notch below the highest level for the most dangerous known pathogens, such as Ebola virus.
