Metabiota is an American company.

Putin is beginning a propaganda campaign that states it is a Ukrainian company sponsored with USA money by Hunter Biden. That is highly inaccurate. It has overseas labs (click here). All this information is public. There was a lab in Kiev, Ukraine according to the website. The company is contracted by the USA DOD.

The company is not without controversy, an article from "Wired."

A virologist (click here) helped crack an impossible problem: how to insure against the economic fallout from devastating viral outbreaks. The plan was ingenious. Yet we're still in this mess.

...That night Wolfe told me he was forming a network of research outposts around the globe, in hot spots where potentially devastating viruses were poised to make the jump: Cameroon, where HIV likely passed from chimpanzees into local hunters; the Democratic Republic of Congo, which had seen human outbreaks of monkeypox; Malaysia, home to a 1998 emergence of the Nipah virus; and China, where SARS-CoV had crossed over, likely from bats, in 2002. Wolfe's hope was that by understanding what he called the “viral chatter” of such places, it would be possible not only to react more quickly to outbreaks but to forecast their arrival and stop them before they spread. The “100-year thing” he was thinking about was a global pandemic, and how history would judge humanity's efforts to prepare for it. His biggest fear, he said, was a virus unknown to human immune defenses starting a human-to-human transmission chain that would encircle the globe....

These are the people that provide front line information about emerging disease in the world. Who wouldn't invest in them?
