EUvsDisinfo about Lugar Lab in Georgia

EUvsDisinfo produced the video about Lugar Lab in Georgia. The information released by EUvsDisinfo reads that dozens of disinformation narratives have been uncovered about the Lugar Lab.

"The Central Public Health Reference Laboratory in Tbilisi, more popularly known as the Lugar lab, has been a target of pro-Kremlin disinformation for many years.

"The laboratory is a joint human and veterinary public health facility dealing with epidemiological control and science research.

"Russian state-controlled media has falsely claimed that the Lugar lab is a secret biological weapons facility of the US military; that it spreads infectious diseases and is a site of gruesome human experiments. Recently, some Kremlin-aligned media have tied the coronavirus outbreak to the Lugar lab.

"EUvsDisinfo has uncovered dozens of disinformation narratives about the Lugar lab.

"20% of Georgians believe that the Lugar lab contributes to the spread of epidemics (NDI Georgia, 2019).

"EUvsDisinfo went to the Lugar lab to find out why Russia continues to spread such lies, what effect they have on the local community, and what the Georgians are doing to counter them," says the info.
