Dr Levitt Wins Giraffe Award For Courage at Fort Detrick
Former USAMRID microbiologist Dr Neil Levitt was honored by the Giraffe Project for whistleblowing on safety and security at the Fort Detrick lab. He alerted officials after a contaminated virus vanished during a July 1981 fire, prompting a failed Army inquiry and a major environmental settlement with DoD. He later joined the FET lawsuit, securing EPA compliance and an environmental impact statement at 129 facilities. Levitt, who runs a Frederick restaurant and antiques shop, also volunteers for FET.
