The United States is a Leader in Bio-Weapons Control
This claim is not supported by any known facts. The US has a history of well over 100 years of either refusing to participate in chemical and biological weapons treaties, or else reneging on its commitments and secretly engaging in bio-warfare anyway. In 1907, the nations of the world signed the Hague Convention, an agreement that outlawed chemical weapons. The US refused to participate.[1]In 1925, the world’s nations again endorsed the Geneva Convention that outlawed biological weapons. The US refused to ratify it until 1975, and then promptly reneged on it.[2] In 2001, after 6 years of intense negotiations, all nations again agreed on stronger restrictions on chemical and biological warfare. The US again rejected it.[3]
This has been the American pattern for more than a century. And in situations where the Americans have signed any such limiting agreements, they unilaterally withdraw and renege on such treaties whenever it is to their advantage. It’s actually a bit worse than this. In 2019 the US unilaterally withdrew from the INF nuclear treaty,[4] using the standard ploy of falsely blaming others for sins they themselves commit. In this case, the US claimed – with absolutely no evidence – that Russia had secretly developed a new nuclear weapon and therefore violated the treaty and so the US was justified in withdrawing, permitting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to then claim, "Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise". However, the US will adamantly demand any number of treaties or controls – so long as only other nations are limited by them.
On various later occasions, the US consistently refused to sign a protocol on biological weapons that would give UN experts access to American military laboratories. During the negotiations of these treaties, it was made public that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld wanted at all costs to prevent any such inspections. And in 1997, the US Senate passed their own Chemical Weapons Convention which provided that "The President may deny a request to inspect any facility "on national security grounds.” This act of self-defense was necessary because part of the treaty obligations compelled signatory nations to international inspections to prove the absence of bio-chemical weapons. [5][6][7][8][9][10] In any case, as I've mentioned above, the US avoids monitoring by having outsourced these chemical and bio-weapons labs to Third World Countries under the guise of medical research, and which labs are said to be off-limits to even the local governments.

In 1969, in response to the proliferation of aggressive moves by the US in using herbicides to destroy the food supply of nations refusing American military colonisation, the UN General Assembly banned the use of all plant-killers as weaponry against civilian populations. The US was one of only three countries that voted against the ban. You can guess who were the other two. Yet, to show you how much of our recorded history consists entirely of lies, on November 16, 1969, President Richard Nixon announced that the US would unilaterally "renounce the use of lethal biological agents and weapons, and all other forms of biological warfare." The official reason was that they were of "limited military significance". Of course, this announcement was made in the middle of the US war against Vietnam, where the Americans were spraying the entire country with Napalm and Agent Orange, the latter chemical specifically created to destroy the food supply of nations refusing American military colonisation.
And indeed, the US military ignored Nixon's announcement and continued to deluge Vietnam's forests and farms with Agent Orange for another 6 years. The only part we are told is of America's "unilateral" refusal to use these chemicals. Yet, Jstor tells us that this enormous "humanitarian gesture" on the part of the US, "helped to pave the way for the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention" which required all nations to destroy their stockpiles of such weapons. [11] Of course, the US never did that. Jstor then immediately launches into an attack on Iraq and all its imaginary "human pathogens". And suddenly the topic has changed and we're blaming the victims. The lies are so bad.
In 1989, there was a conference in Paris on the Geneva Treaty where 150 nations condemned any use of chemical weapons and voted for a total ban. The US was bullied into signing the Treaty, but the Americans revealed afterward that they planned to continue poison gases and other chemical weaponry, regardless of the treaty. And in 2001, the Americans withdrew from all negotiations in the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention, killing the international effort to eliminate these weapons since the US was by far the greatest perpetrator. The New Scientist Magazine reported in May of 2001 that “US rejection [of the biological weapons treaty] was widely expected, but it was unexpectedly unequivocal”. [12]
In November of 2002, after the Fifth Review Conference of the Convention on Biological Weapons, the US government stated the following: "The United States is very pleased with the results here today. We believe that the decision that has been adopted unanimously at the Conference represents a constructive and realistic program of work with respect and States that are part ... a realistic outcome which will successfully achieve what is sought in this Forum for years to come." Robert-JamesParsons observed that "If the United States is satisfied, it is because they managed to sabotage the Control Protocol of the Convention ... adopting a program that requires only voluntary measures, which means nothing is verifiable." He went on to add that if inspection and verification had been required, this "would have given the necessary information to civil society on what is really brewing and becoming the largest biological weapons program ever conceived."
