Australian biolab reports over 300 deadly virus samples HAVE GONE MISSING
12/12/2024 / By Ava Grace
- Over 300 deadly virus samples have gone missing from a government-operated laboratory in Queensland, Australia.
- Approximately 100 Hendra virus samples, 223 lyssavirus fragments and two full hantavirus samples are unaccounted for.
- Queensland officials have initiated an investigation led by former Supreme Court Justice Martin Daubney to examine the laboratory’s internal policies and guidelines.
- Health Minister Tim Nicholls has stated that the samples may have been removed from secure storage and are currently unaccounted for, citing a lack of proper documentation during a transfer.
- Nicholls has assured the public that there is no current evidence of a public health risk, but the severity of the viruses involved has sparked growing panic and concern among the general public.
In what is described as a jaw-dropping and alarming breach of biosecurity, more than 300 deadly virus samples have gone missing from a government-operated laboratory in Queensland, Australia. This news, which first emerged in August 2023, has sent shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities.
The incident, which was first discovered in 2021 after a freezer malfunction, involved 323 virus samples, including a significant number of high-risk viruses.
Queensland Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Tim Nicholls announced that his department is investigating the disappearance of these samples – a long overdue move, as the public was only made aware of the breach in August 2023, over a year after its discovery.

The most concerning part of this breach involves nearly 100 samples of the deadly Hendra virus, a zoonotic disease known for its devastating impact on both animals and humans. The Hendra virus has a 75 percent fatality rate in horses, its primary host, and has caused seven known human deaths to date.
Additionally, the missing samples include 223 fragments of lyssavirus and two full samples of hantavirus, both of which are known to be highly pathogenic.
Nicholls has been quick to assure the public that there is currently no evidence of any public health risk due to the missing samples. However, given the severity of the viruses in question, this assurance is far from enough to quell the growing panic and concern among the general public.
Nicholls added that the Hendra virus can jump from animals, primarily horses, to humans, with a very high chance of being fatal. The lyssavirus is similar to rabies, another deadly disease that attacks the nervous system. While the hantavirus usually infects rodents, but can also make humans seriously ill when the virus particles are inhaled.
Outbreak facilitated by malfunctioning freezer
According to Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr. John Gerrard, the breach occurred due to a malfunctioning freezer – an alarming prospect for a laboratory handling pathogens that require highly specialized and secure conditions for storing.
Gerrard further claimed that the virus samples would rapidly lose their infectiousness outside a low-temperature freezer, which, while somewhat reassuring, does not fully assuage the concern over what exactly happened to these samples.
Nicholls admitted that the materials may have been removed from secure storage and are unaccounted for. He emphasized that the issue lies in the transfer of these materials from the malfunctioning freezer to a functioning one, where proper documentation was not completed. This kind of oversight in a high-security facility is inexcusable and points to a systemic failure in the lab’s protocols.
Dr. Paul Griffin, an infectious diseases expert, pointed out that breaches in the storage of deadly viruses like these are supposed to be virtually impossible. The systems and procedures in place to handle such pathogens are typically robust, and this kind of slip-up just shouldn’t happen in a well-regulated environment. The fact that the public is only finding out about this now, a year later, is even more disconcerting.
This incident comes in the wake of historical flaws discovered in the state-run Forensic Science Queensland lab, where more than 40,000 criminal cases were affected due to insufficient DNA analysis methods. This has led to two commissions of inquiry, highlighting the larger issues with internal policies and guidelines within government-operated labs.
Former Supreme Court Justice Martin Daubney has been appointed to lead an investigation into the management, administration, and delivery of public sector health services in the laboratory. The investigation will analyze internal policies and guidelines to determine if they were correctly followed and will make recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Critics note that it is imperative to raise these questions and seek the truth behind this alarming incident. The health and well-being of the public are at stake, and it’s our responsibility to hold those in power accountable for their actions – or lack thereof.
