BREAKING: FBI Has Reportedly Launched a Criminal Probe into Fauci’s Bat Virus Mad Scientist Vincent Munster for Smuggling Deadly Pathogen Samples from Africa

by

Two men in professional attire pose against a dark background filled with bats, suggesting a theme of intrigue or controversy.

The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into NIH virologist Vincent Munster, one of Anthony Fauci’s top bat coronavirus researchers at the high-security Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, after he and a colleague were caught smuggling dangerous pathogen samples.

The samples Munster and his colleague were caught with included monkeypox virus, from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

According to an explosive exclusive report from Paul Thacker, Munster and NIH lab scientist Claude Kwe Yinda were stopped during airport security screening upon their return from Africa earlier this year.

Thacker’s report comes a day after White Coat Waste first posted on X that Munster had been removed from the HHS employee directory and was reportedly suspended.

According to the report, authorities discovered a hard-shelled protective case in their luggage containing undeclared human pathogen samples collected from patients.

Monkeypox virus is classified by the Department of Health and Human Services as a “select agent” that poses a severe threat to public safety and requires strict permitting, inactivation, and shipping protocols.

Neither scientist has confirmed whether the samples were properly inactivated.

HHS has referred all questions about the case to the FBI, which is actively investigating.

“We are unable to comment as this is under investigation,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon wrote in an email to Thacker. “So we will refer you to the FBI.”

Thacker reports that when he contacted the FBI about the investigation into Munster and his NIH researcher, the FBI press office replied by email, “We decline to comment.”

The report adds:

Shortly after the COVID virus began infecting Americans, Columbia University virologist Vincent Racaniello sent Munster an alarming February 2020 email, saying he had heard that the new COVID virus had a furin cleavage site “that might have been engineered.”

“If true this is very bad for all of virology research,” Racaniell wrote to Munster.

“And the fun begins,” replied Munster.

Both Munster and Yinda have been placed on administrative leave, and their contact information has been scrubbed from the official HHS employee directory.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly called and emailed Munster for comment regarding a source who stated he had been placed on leave over the past week, but has not received a response.

Laci Williams of NIH referred us to an HHS form to request a comment, but we did not receive a response to that, either.

The investigation of the foreign-born Munster comes just weeks after White Coat Waste unveiled billboards near his high-security biolab, calling out NIH’s continued Fauci-era funding for experiments on primates and bats, echoing the risky gain-of-function work that likely gave us COVID-19.

The billboards, part of WCW’s national “Tax Week” ad campaign, spotlight NIH’s continued funding of dangerous animal experiments at Rocky Mountain Lab under the current administration.

WCW highlights tests involving Munster that infected primates and bats with deadly viruses like Ebola, Nipah, and coronaviruses, often without pain relief, causing severe suffering and ultimately, death.

On April 28, the DOJ indicted David Morens, Fauci’s longtime senior adviser at NIAID, on multiple felony counts for allegedly using a personal Gmail account to conceal official emails and evade Freedom of Information Act requests about risky coronavirus research grants to EcoHealth and others.

Munster played a central role in helping EcoHealth Alliance secure NIAID and Fauci funding for the controversial “Wuhan West” bat lab project at Colorado State University (CSU), which WCW exposed.

In 2016, he co-wrote the proposal for the CSU bat colony, stating, “Dr. Munster will facilitate the establishment of the colony, and will be the laboratory lead and co-investigator on all experimental studies utilizing these bats. We will have the support and use of the BSL-4 laboratory and veterinary personnel at RML for experimental work utilizing the bats.

”

In 2020, Munster sent a letter to NIAID explicitly encouraging the agency to fund his project.

The mad scientist was also the main author on a 2018 NIH experiment exposed by White Coat Waste that infected bats purchased from a Maryland zoo with a Chinese bat coronavirus strain cloned from a virus collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance.

Munster also helped organize a bat virus conference alongside EcoHealth Alliance and the infamous “Bat Woman” Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

At Rocky Mountain Lab, Munster has conducted Ebola experiments on primates, including animals sourced from Fauci’s notorious “Monkey Island” facility.

In 2023, WCW teamed up with then-Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Montana Republican, who wanted to slash Munster’s salary to $1 as part of an amendment to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill.

The amendment read, “Reduces the salary of Vincent Munster, Chief, Virus Ecology Section, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to $1.” Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

President and founder of White Coat Waste, Anthony Bellotti, said in a statement provided to The Gateway Pundit:

“For years, White Coat Waste investigations have exposed how Vincent Munster’s reckless, Fauci-funded animal experiments with Chinese coronaviruses, Ebola, and other foreign bioagents threaten public health and national security. Munster was even part of the original proposal to engineer COVID-like viruses at the Wuhan lab, where White Coat Waste first uncovered and ended Fauci’s funding for gain-of-function animal tests that almost certainly prompted the pandemic. White Coat Waste has led efforts to shut down Munster’s maximum-pain animal labs, and we are now calling out their continued funding with our ‘WTF, RFK?’ billboards near his NIH lab in Montana. Munster’s wasteful and dangerous animal experiments are a recipe for disaster, and if he is suspended—as our sources suggest—and finally held accountable, taxpayers and animals should celebrate.”

With Munster reportedly on leave and under investigation, and WCW keeping the pressure on through public billboards, the days of unchecked Fauci-era experiments at facilities like Rocky Mountain Lab may finally be numbered.
