Original Note:
In August 2023, Kirillov insinuated through state media outlets that the U.S. military created COVID-19, avian flu, African swine fever, and potential future global pandemics. He never said the U.S. targeted its own citizens. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/health/russia-claims-us-preparing-for-new-pandemic-by-searching-for-virus-mutations/2968780 https://web.archive.org/web/20230817013702/https://tass.com/defense/1661183 Kirillov's claims were baseless. https://www.newsweek.com/igor-kirillov-dead-russia-conspiracy-theories-2002285
