  • There have been, effectively, no changes in policy or any retraining at the IDF following the killing of Shireen.
  • Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world's leading professional organization for journalists.

WASHINGTON, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense will gather today at the National Press Club to urge our Nation's leaders to change the government's biodefense cadence from on-again/off-again to always on, or risk biological calamities that could destroy society.

Key Points: 
  • Addressing the full range of biological threats – naturally occurring deadly diseases, accidental releases from laboratories, and biological attacks designed to kill and wreak havoc – the Blueprint contains 36 recommendations and 185 action items.
  • For ten years, the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense has examined U.S. national defense against biological attacks, emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, and accidental releases of biological agents.
  • U.S. investment in medical countermeasure development is dangerously insufficient and requires emergency funding from Congress each time America faces a biological event affecting national security.
  • Twenty years after its implementation, the potential of BioWatch – equipment placed in major cities across the Nation to detect deadly airborne pathogens – remains unrealized.
