NO PLAGUE, but the WHO is still looking for a problem where there is none.
Tedros Says Russia Not Giving W.H.O. ‘Full Picture’ of Suspected Plague Situation
Oct 8 2026
World Health Organization (W.H.O.) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus published a diplomatic statement on Thursday stating that his agency has no evidence of any outbreak of plague in northeastern Russia — but revealing that Moscow had been less forthcoming than appropriate and demanding more information.
Public health officials around the world were put on alert this week after news surfaced locally in Irkutsk, Siberia, that a worker at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute identified as 28-year-old Daria Shipilova died of a respiratory condition, allegedly after she had broken a test tube containing a live pathogen during her work hours. Russia’s top government health agency, Rospotrebnadzor, confirmed Shipilova’s death this week, but specified only that she suffered from a “pneumonia of unknown origin” and that testing did not find any pathogen active in her body compatible with those she was studying at the laboratory. It notably did not indicate whether it found any pathogen in her body at all, a critical piece of information Tedros appeared most interested in during his remarks on Thursday.
