US Labs Breeding Foreign Ticks for CCHF Research Sparks National Biosafety Concerns

Deep inside federally funded research facilities, U.S. scientists are actively breeding exotic Hyalomma ticks—imported from Africa—to study Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), a virus with a mortality rate as high as 30% and no history of circulation on American soil. The stated aim is to develop new mRNA vaccines and assess how the virus spreads through livestock. But critics warn the government’s ambitious program risks a catastrophic lab leak that could introduce a deadly foreign disease into the United States.

A CONTROVERSIAL PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD
According to documents uncovered by the White Coat Waste Project (WCWP) and reported by The Highwire, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is operating at least ten active contracts related to mRNA vaccine development targeting CCHF. Key facilities include the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Manhattan, Kansas—linked to the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), formerly associated with high-risk research on Plum Island—along with UC Davis in California and Texas Tech University in Lubbock.

These labs are establishing colonies of the Hyalomma species, known for their aggressive feeding behavior and ability to transmit CCHF through livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Researchers are conducting ecological risk assessments to determine whether the virus could take hold in U.S. climates and agricultural landscapes.

DEEP DIVE: THE FACTUAL RECORD AND RISKS
WCWP’s investigation revealed that federal funding streams include ten USDA contracts specifically centered on mRNA vaccine work for CCHF. Additional funding comes from a $3.7 million Department of Defense grant awarded to EcoHealth Alliance—an organization already under national scrutiny for its involvement in coronavirus gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

CCHF was first identified in Crimea in 1944 and later linked to outbreaks across Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Symptoms include high fever, internal bleeding, liver failure, and, in severe cases, rapid death. A Soviet-era vaccine dating back to 1970 is the only known immunization—and its reliability remains questionable.

Stanford science writer Kris Newby, whose work exposed the controversial origins of Lyme disease, warned that high-containment lab environments often lack the internal controls necessary to prevent tick escapes. “Ticks are incredibly difficult to contain,” she said, emphasizing that the risk of accidental release is far higher than the public realizes.

WCWP’s Justin Goodman called the program “reckless,” arguing that deliberately importing exotic pathogens for research inside America’s farming centers is a “recipe for disaster.” Given decades of documented lab leaks—from anthrax to smallpox—experts fear history could repeat itself with far graver consequences.

PROPHETIC CONTEXT: A WARNING OF PESTILENCE AND PERIL
The Bible speaks often of plagues emerging in times of national and spiritual upheaval. Jesus Himself warned that in the last days “there will be… in various places plagues” (Luke 21:11, NASB 1977). The deliberate introduction of a foreign hemorrhagic fever into the United States—under the banner of scientific advancement—raises sobering questions about the intersection of human ambition, governmental power, and prophetic warning.
Revelation 6 describes a world destabilized by disease, economic turmoil, and global anxiety. While no single event fulfills prophecy alone, the pattern of risky biological experimentation aligns with the broader trend Scripture foretells: the rise of unprecedented global vulnerabilities.

STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: AGRICULTURE, NATIONAL SECURITY, AND PUBLIC TRUST
If CCHF were ever to escape containment, the consequences could be devastating:
Agricultural collapse: CCHF infects cattle, sheep, goats—core components of U.S. food supply chains.
Public health crisis: With a mortality rate up to 30%, even limited outbreaks would overwhelm hospitals.
Economic shockwaves: A single confirmed case on U.S. soil could trigger nationwide livestock quarantines.
Government overreach concerns: Growing unease around mRNA technologies fuels questions about livestock vaccination mandates and the future of food autonomy.
National security risks: EcoHealth Alliance’s involvement renews concerns about foreign biological threats and experimental oversight.

This research, critics argue, represents a profoundly underestimated risk at a time when public trust in federal biological programs is already at historic lows.

CONCLUSION
The U.S. government’s decision to breed exotic African ticks and study a deadly foreign hemorrhagic virus inside domestic research centers marks a dangerous escalation in high-risk pathogen work. While officials claim the goal is prevention, the potential for accidental release raises serious ethical, scientific, and national security concerns. As America confronts pressing challenges—from border security to economic instability—the introduction of a new biological threat is a risk many believe the nation cannot afford.
