Original Note:
The "46 biolabs" claim has been thoroughly debunked. It is based on a mischaracterization of a US govt statement that it is "providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites" for the purposes of improving public health. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jun/15/blog-posting/pentagon-didnt-admit-there-are-46-us-funded-biolab/ https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3057517/fact-sheet-on-wmd-threat-reduction-efforts-with-ukraine-russia-and-other-former/
