Very good chance the Russian Government would infect tens of thousands of their own citizens, just to spread their bio-weapon worldwide. No person should be allowed out of Russia, and Russians need to be immediately deported. Especially Russian Agent #1... Alex Ovechkin.

What an opportunity for Vlad in December. Think how many Americans he'll be able to get infected, as Donald proudly ushers him around the USA!

Complete quarantine. Nothing goes in, nothing comes out. If anything attempts to escape, kill it with fire. It's the only way.

@davidvyancey.bsky.social

Russian troops could be infected with it, which could potentially infect Ukrainian troops, spreading it to Ukraine and then throughout Europe. This could get very messy. The desperation and obvious disregard for humanity by Putin, I wouldn't be surprised if this is entirely intentional.

It we won’t ban flights to/from Russia now will we. I firmly believe that governments esp our own do not care if we die.

Wonder if it does reach us, if trump will shut the country down, you know, no voting. Would the "you can't tell me what to do" crowd support him?

Agreed that it's usually treatable if caught early, so if she broke a test tube, why didn't they treat immediately or as soon as she had symptoms? That's the part that makes no sense to me. And we will never get actual info out of their government.

Eric Panzer
@ericpanzer.bsky.social

Notice how it said "current risk?" Situations change and evolve and you base your position on the best available info, not fear mongering Again, there was a case of pneumonic plague in the US in 2025, it did not result in an epidemic. Remember swine flu? that also didn't cause a deadly pandemic

Eric Panzer
@ericpanzer.bsky.social

If evidence of spread or antibiotic resistance emerges, then we should all reconsider our positions and what steps may be appropriate Until then, stuff like this is panicked speculation that doesn't actually help anyone or the situation

Eric Panzer
@ericpanzer.bsky.social

True, though antibiotics can also be given prophylacticly In any event, despite regular outbreaks across the globe, the pandemic potential for pneumonic plague in a modern context is much lower than in the past or than it is for novel respiratory viruses Weaponized would be much more concerning

@nihlistepicurean.bsky.social

Of all the people on earth who could recognise early pneumonic plague in themselves and immediately know how to treat themselves, a technician at an anti-plague institute is near the top of the list. This test tube story has all the markings of a retrofit.

@growseedsman.bsky.social

The plague bacteria didn’t magically disappear. It’s still around all over this planet. We just use high tech stuff like hand soap, bathing, good hygiene - like not living with flea infested rats.

Treatment didn't help that lab worker. I don't trust any info coming from Russia/Putin. Or any of our government/citizens who trust them.

@whiskeyblair.bsky.social

Oh, look at the wee little grifter, trying to stir up an attention-seeking anti-vax woo-woo for its ruble-reward program. I spent the first half of my life neck-deep in the cultish social groups where such grifters suckle on the vulnerable and fearful. I know they’re nasty little greed-spawn.

Whiskey Blair
@whiskeyblair.bsky.social

Anti-vax grifters are trained to play the “Oh noes you’re right” game to pretend-agree with the obvious (schtick to get trust), then drop step by step into misinterpretation and cognitive dissonance. This sort of account doesn’t exist for health/wellness. It’s a grifter with the goal of discord.

Voices and Vaccines
@voicesandvaccines.bsky.social

It’s true though: the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines cannot prevent infection, and they do not work to stop the spread. Vaccines pose greater risk than remaining in vaccines to young, healthy people who aren’t at risk of disease. #stopthespread #vaccineswork #whyivax

Voices and Vaccines
@voicesandvaccines.bsky.social

Flash forward to vaccinated people: becoming infected, carrying and spreading the disease to other vaccinated people. Shoulder to shoulder. Traveling internationally. It’s a much worse situation. Now the consequences of vaccination are affecting people everywhere.

Julie Bee🐝🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
@junebug1925.bsky.social

The biggest sanction against Russia should be to enforce travel restrictions ffrom Russia to any NATO country. They invaded a sovereign country. There should be a halt to flights into & out of a Russia, plus suspend all student, work, & travel visas until war ends & 5 years of recovery.,

AgVOLPI
@bvolpi.bsky.social

Makes sense, gut the FDA and food inspection, stop vaccines, and Russia it toying with the plague...coincidence?

Sisu
@sisu4democracy.bsky.social

17% survival rate IF you get the right antibiotics. Spread by respiratory droplets.It infects the lungs and causes severe pneumonia. It is almost 100% fatal if treatment with antibiotics does not start within the first 24 hours of showing symptoms. And who gets into a doctor these days that quickly?

@layzieyez.bsky.social

The plague is coming in mystery beef that hasn’t been inspected because all the safeguards that were in place have been decimated by DOGE cuts.

@saredra.bsky.social

They've been banned since 2022, what are you going to do, ban them harder? 😑 The only way to do that is ban flights from any country that has flights to Russia. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A plague in the USA under the demented orange felon and his incompetent administration will be a bigger disaster than the way they mishandled the Covid pandemic. With the felon's devotion to Putin he will not be taking action to protect our country.

Ya know, I played this game in 2019, early 2020, and we saw how that turned out irl. If by touch we can avoid. Airborne transmission? Oof. Water transmission? Eek. Covid proved our infrastructure is weak. We in US be in deep doo this hits us.

@driftlessregion.bsky.social

Civilization has had a cure for pneumonic plague for 78 years, since the discovery of streptomycin in 1948, yet Russia is still researching it? Something doesn't quite add up.

Driftless Dan@driftlessregion.bsky.social

I bet they are. That was probably the batch Putin was supposed to send with spies to release in major U.S. cities 2 weeks before the election so Trump could declare a national emergency and shut down elections. Wait, did I post that or just think it?

Lahopes4

I always think the worst and imagine the 🍊💩 somehow ordering a vial of the disease and having it dropped in blue states. I thought the same with covid. I put NOTHING past him and his thugs

In future please include a link to a reliable source so we know you haven't been hacked. The good news is that if it's really happening as described (and isn't Russian disinformation) then bacteria are the easiest infection to treat.

DD Dion
@dddion.bsky.social

A scientist working at a lab who got exposed via a broken test tube. From what I’ve read such scientists are at high risk and thus are vaccinated for plague. Once exposed, it is effectively treated by antibiotics. Instead, she’s dead and 200 people were exposed. What is about this plague pathogen?

sgillas
@sgillas.bsky.social

The pneumonic plague is easily treated with modern day antibiotics. Calm down everyone, this isn't the dark ages. We got this.

Dosco Jones

They actually won’t need masks on the flight. Everyone on the flight will be fully immunized. All they have to do is fill the fuel tanks with ivermectin.

childishdogman.bsky.social
@childishdogman.bsky.social

If there's a plague there, I say we take our chances and encourage them to go. Say it's a hoax. Sure, we may lose some good people, but it's a near certainty that they'll start killing people in earnest after the election, regardless of how that goes.

Moscow seems safe? - only Siberia is currently at risk of "a suddenly fatal unidentiified pneumonia infection" contracted by a worker at the local "Anti-Plague Research Center"

> Nevertheless, the agency’s head, Anna Popova, traveled to Irkutsk on Friday, according to the local governor, Igor Kobzev, for what he described as an extraordinary meeting of the regional anti-epidemic commission. She stationed at the institute? If so, what I describe as "get out of town!"

I didn't realize how close it was to China. It would be hilarous if they shut down the border. Obviously the Chinese don't mess around when it comes to infectious disease.

Eric Panzer@ericpanzer.bsky.social

Russia is terrible and worthy of all sorts of opprobrium, but this is fear mongering This is a bad breach, but pneumonic plague deaths occurs occasionally in the US, too—there was a death in Arizona in 2025 If caught early, plague is treatable with antibiotics www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Because the pecker in the WH didnt honor the Ukraine giving up weapons for security and nobody is scared of trump, in fact China and the US are still supplying eletronic parts for drones ect to attack ukraine, so why would they stop flights , all about money

Elmo Up North

Such a lack of imagination ! Because some of us from former satellite states still want to visit friends and family who stayed? Because of folks who want to learn Russian in situ for whatever reason? Because Russia has a vast cultural heritage?

Wasn’t the russian propaganda story that the right wing social media accounts picked up that Ukraine had bio weapons labs? Seems the opposite is true as you’d expect.

Y. Mudpuppy
@yehmenmudpuppy.bsky.social

um, there's bubonic plague in the US already. It is endemic in wild rodents and their fleas. A few people manage to catch it every year. It's easy to treat with antibiotics.

Darlene Cypser
@darlenecypser.com

Stop fearmongering. Plague exists in the wild in the US. A few people die of it in the US every year. It is a bacteria, not a virus. It is treatable by several common antibiotics. It is deadly if left untreated.

Mr T
@mrtmdc.bsky.social

This is one instance of plague reported in Russia So what there are between 5 and 15 cases of plague reported in the USA annually. Not really a reason to panic just yet.

Betting it wasn’t a broken test tube, which normally would’ve been within a biocontainment area handled by workers wearing appropriate PPE.
