Matteo Bassetti wrote that what concerned him was not the individual death, but the methods of contagion in case pneumonic plague was confirmed. He said it would be very serious if a laboratory had manipulated pathogens for offensive purposes and highlighted the lack of transparency, citing contradictory versions, incomplete information, and quarantines without clear explanations. Bassetti specified that there was not enough evidence to speak of plague or bioterrorism and called for transparency, independent checks, and complete information. He also asked whether, if it really was plague, the contagion had been contained and whether the information provided to the world was accurate. #Peste #PestePolmonare #Bioterrorismo #SicurezzaBiologica #Biosicurezza #SanitàPubblica #Trasparenza #Russia #Peste #Bioterrorismo #Trasparenza (translated)
