@the_health_stack: The World Health Organization says it lacks enough information to conduct a full risk assessment of the death of a 28-year-old lab worker at a Siberian plague research facility, with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stating publicly: 'We don't yet have the full picture.' Russia's health watchdog insists no lab-related pathogens were found in the woman's body and that there is no outbreak in the Irkutsk region, but scientists say critical details remain missing. Local media reports of hospital quarantines and deleted government social media posts warning of health dangers have not been independently verified by NPR or Western outlets. International health regulations require timely and transparent information sharing — and experts say Russia is falling short of that standard. #PlagueScare #WHO #BiosafetyConcern #Russia
