Big Pharma, Biotech Leaks, Biotech Workers and OSHA

(Zoom event)

The biotech leaks continue to occur not only in China but also in the US. Despite the dangers to biotech workers in the United States, there are no enforced regulations for the hundreds of thousands of biotech workers in the United States, and OSHA does not even have a trained unit to deal with biotech releases according to former OSHA director David Michaels. There are less than 1900 OSHA inspectors for the entire United States which leaves protection of workers up to big pharma and other institutions running biotech labs.

Speakers:
Becky McClain, former Pfizer molecular biologist who was retaliated and fired for reporting biological leaks and was infected and sickened by biological material
Adam Finkel, Former OSHA official and Clinical Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health
Sam Husseni, DC investigative journalist who has covered biotech accidents and the dangers to the public
