In support of RML

June 17, 2026 by Guest Post 6 Comments

by Alene Tunny, Hamilton  

I was born in Hamilton and am a second generation Montanan. I grew up and still live just blocks away from Rocky Mountain Lab. 

RML has been an integral part of my life since I was a young girl lining up for tick shots at the Jefferson Elementary School and recently taking my children and grandchildren on a tour of the lab sponsored by the Bitterroot Public Library. It has always been a source of pride for our community.

I support RML, a world-renowned bio research facility specializing in infectious diseases, such as Q-fever, tick-borne viruses, and Ebola. This facility continues to play a critical role in developing new vaccines and treatments that have saved thousands, if not millions, of lives. Its research has strengthened our ability to understand deadly diseases, respond  to outbreaks and protect communities around the world. Supporting RML means supporting Scientific Progress, Public Health and life-saving innovations. 

RML is a vital institution, a major part of our community, and it deserves our support.

    The Government under Fauci funded 120 Biolabs in 30 different countries, including in war torn areas where any “Research” is at risk of being exposed, released, or captured. Great Plan Tony.

    Detroit Airport – Customs Agent Report, RML Scientists Arrested;
    “Munster and Kwe were inspected and interviewed by Customs and Border Protection officials upon their arrival, who saw the pair traveling with a large black plastic case. Prosecutors said both scientists falsely told CBP officers the black case contained diagnostics and testing equipment”.
    What is going on at RML? I support the truth!!

          A relatively minor disease that rarely causes deaths and most people get over without treatment. And has nothing to do with monkeys.
