• A new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation has uncovered a major biosafety breach at one of the most dangerous National Institutes of Health (NIH) animal labs in the country.
• Documents exposed by WCW reveal that the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Montana quietly reported that a deadly “select agent” was “released, lost, or stolen” in November 2025.
• WCW’s exposé forced the NIH to admit that the breach involved a lab staffer being exposed to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) — a deadly, foreign virus that WCW previously uncovered is used by RML for maximum-pain experiments on monkeys.
• In 2022, a lawsuit filed by WCW forced the NIH to release photos and videos that documented maximum-pain CCHF experiments on primates and other animals at RML.
• WCW previously revealed how RML infected primates shipped from Fauci’s Monkey Island with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and other deadly viruses, and how the lab bought bats from a shady roadside zoo for risky, Wuhan-tied coronavirus experiments prior to the pandemic.

White Coat Waste (WCW) just uncovered a major biosafety breach at the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), one of the most dangerous animal labs in the country and a facility we’ve been working to expose and defund for years.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

A Fauci federal bio lab in Montana can’t locate a biological agent.

The biological agent is either stolen, lost or was released, according to documents obtained by The White Coat Waste Project.

WCW unearthed an RML report from November 2025 in which the lab quietly admitted that an unspecified “select agent” — a pathogen that poses a severe threat to public health and can be used as a bioweapon — was either “released, lost, or stolen” from the NIH facility.

The NIH biosafety report exposed by WCW did not state which deadly “select agent” was involved in the breach at RML or what happened.

However, a day after WCW’s viral exposé, the NIH was forced to admit to the press that the accident involved an RML lab staffer being exposed to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever — a deadly, foreign virus that WCW previously uncovered is used by RML for maximum-pain experiments on monkeys.

WCW has been on RML’s trail for years, working to find, expose, and defund dangerous, cruel maximum-pain animal experiments at the NIH’s controversial lab. RML is a bioagent superlab that infects animals with highly contagious, deadly viruses like Ebola, Lassa, Nipah, and even the plague.

In 2022, WCW sued the NIH under the Freedom of Information Act after the agency refused to release records on RML’s animal experiments. The lawsuit forced the release of never-before-seen photos and videos revealing primates, shipped from Fauci’s Monkey Island, intentionally infected with CCHF, COVID and other viruses.

Photos and videos obtained from inside RML also showed piglets being infected with Ebola and suffering from the virus.

Another viral WCW investigation exposed how a shady Maryland zoo — whose curator was a former NIH animal experimenter — shipped bats to RML at least a year before the pandemic. There, they were infected with a cloned bat coronavirus originally obtained from the notorious Wuhan lab that experts believe caused COVID.

Unfortunately, the NIH’s “animal testing czar” — Deputy Director Nicole Kleinstreuer — has allowed this madness to continue at RML.

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent pledge to end primate testing should start at RML before another NIH-funded lab sparks another pandemic.

It’s time for the NIH to put its (taxpayer) money where its mouth is.

The solution is simple:
