One Day After Visiting the Biohazard Labs at Ft. Detrick, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem is Hospitalized for "An Allergic Reaction."

The Department of Homeland Security has stated that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was transported by ambulance to a hospital in Washington, D.C. earlier today due to an allergic reaction, adding that she was transported out of an "abundance of caution, and that she is alert and recovering."

Some questioned the official "allergic reaction" explanation for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's hospitalization, linking it to her recent visit to the NIAID Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick, a lab known for handling dangerous pathogens like Ebola and SARS-CoV-2, as noted in NIAID's own documentation. She visited there on June 16th and was hospitalized on June 17th.

Historical incidents at Fort Detrick, such as the 2019 suspension of research due to inadequate wastewater decontamination (per The New York Times, March 13, 2020), and a 2009 pathogen storage violation, suggest potential safety risks that could align with alternative theories about Noem's condition.

Senator Rand Paul's ongoing scrutiny of NIAID, including his 2021 referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci for a criminal investigation over alleged gain-of-function research funding (RightWing.org, August 2021), adds a layer of political tension to the visit, potentially fueling speculation about the incident's cause.
