The text of the press release also seems to have very little to do with the linked evidence.
The US defence industry is a very large institution with a lot of connections that aren't immediately obvious or well advertised - like the intelligence services and the major tech companies. It seems quite reasonable to take the slide at face value that these companies do in fact have things to do with the biological arm of the US defence industry.
The biolab conspiracy is so old, that nobody even cares.

Specifically clandestine labs focused on bioweapons and gain of function research
The conspiracy (by definition of obscurity and secrecy, not to discredit the crusade) is that it rationalizes Putin’s actions to add a check against something that the west is too captured to do
They’ll be eating this stuff up

And yet the only ones listed in detail are the ones in Ukraine, huh.
Well vaccines are all fake, right? And we don't care about making people better, right? So clearly these labs must be terrible. Why would we want to fund more people in doing science? I mean really, what has science ever done for us?
"Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration's national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs"
Wait. Wasn't Trump the president right before Biden? So, what was it, they opened 160 labs in 4 years? Or was Trump just clueless when they existed when he was in office?
Also, great dig on Fauci. Working as a physician, scientist, immunologist, and Director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, definitely doesn't qualify him as a health professional.
Facui is a bureaucrat associated with a number of scandals — and has little demonstrated competence as a medical professional. Being an administrator in a healthcare agency doesn’t make you an expert on medicine.
The idea that gain-of-function has no demonstrated benefit is the same as saying there's no demonstrated benefit to going to the moon or mars. Science is not a business. It does not need to show you a YOY return. It's done in order to discover new information, which may have a benefit, or may not.
But in fact, Gain-of-fuction has already given us real scientific discoveries that have improved health outcomes. There are multiple of them documented here (https://web.archive.org/web/20241207202814/https://pmc.ncbi....) and a simple Google search outlines more.
Now, here's the really interesting thing. In 2014, Obama put a moratorium on Gain-of-function (https://www.science.org/content/article/us-halts-funding-new...). Then, in 2017, Trump lifted the moratorium and continued Gain-of-function funding (https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/dual-use-research/feds-lift-gain-...). So Trump's cronies are actually complaining about the program that their predecessors started up.
Only given us the means to destroy ourselves and ruin our planet.
Second, the USSR had biolabs in Ukraine. Ukraine was a central hub for all their bio R&D. When the USSR collapsed these bio labs lost their funding. These bio labs contained many different pathogens and bio-weapons.
It was in the US and the worlds best interest to fund them and wind them down safely and securely.
The difference between a religion and a cult is that in a cult there is a founder who actively recruits followers by bribing, threatening and coercing. Sound familiar? There are two such active proselytising cults in the world today.
Science of Identity Foundation, an offshoot of Hinduism, and it is a cult.

Tone down the indignation.
