A grieving mother has publicly challenged official accounts of a deadly plague outbreak in Russia, insisting the incident was not caused by a broken test tube but rather a deliberate cover-up. She claims to possess firsthand knowledge of the circumstances surrounding her son’s death, a scientist involved in the handling of dangerous pathogens. Authorities have maintained the outbreak stemmed from a laboratory accident, but her insistence on alternative explanations has reignited scrutiny over transparency in high-risk research facilities. The controversy underscores growing concerns about accountability in the handling of hazardous biological materials.
