Below are excerpts from Chapter 3 and Chapter 7 of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s latest book, “The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race.” The book, which details how a cartel of run-amok military, intelligence, public health, biopharmaceutical, tech and media interests successfully positioned biosecurity at the forefront of U.S. foreign policy, is available for pre-order and will ship on Dec. 5.

In his definitive chronicle of Japan’s biowarfare program, [Hal] Gold recounts how Japan’s charismatic surgeon general, Shirō Ishii, hijacked Japan’s blue-chip medical proficiencies, civilian physicians, medical journals and universities, diverting them to serve the so-called “death sciences” of weapons development.

Following the bioweapons culture’s affinity for innocuous euphemisms to disguise sinister purpose, Japan’s biowarfare division adopted the Orwellian title “Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department.”

The more accurate description of Unit 731’s principal proficiencies were poisoning water and causing epidemics.
