A Russian scientist’s mother has vehemently rejected official claims that her daughter contracted a deadly infection after accidentally breaking a test tube, instead accusing authorities of negligence. She alleges that Russian officials failed to provide proper care, leaving her daughter to die under suspicious circumstances. The incident has reignited questions about safety protocols in high-risk biological research facilities. The family’s version of events stands in stark contrast to the government’s explanation of how the infection occurred.
The mother of the Russian scientist who died in a suspected plague outbreak in Siberia denies the reports that her daughter was infected after breaking a test tube — and instead suggested Russian officials “simply let my daughter die.”
