Covid is diminishing, mandates are disappearing, and countries are opening up. As some sense of normalcy returns, we need to question how it happened and demand answers. As war crowds the headlines, China’s complicity in criminal behavior in those first terrifying days and months of covid fades into the periphery where evil deeds seem to go unpunished. Hopefully, China’s irresponsible actions won’t vanish entirely like a thief in the night.
China knowingly allowed air travel to leave China to all destinations while shutting down domestic flights. They knew covid was contagious person to person but lied to the world multiple times, saying it was not. They knowingly exported Covid. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and the rest of the Democrat party foot soldiers ignored all of it. They had little or nothing to say about the damning timeline of lies and disinformation issued by the communist Chinese government, while COVID-19 spread like an assassin to nearly every corner of the globe.
The revelation that COVID-19 was likely released from a state lab in Wuhan isn’t of any interest to mainstream news outlets because it might bring disrepute upon Fauci and NIH for its gain of function funding. Instead, it’s clear that Democrats and their media allies falsely assigned blame and failure to former President trump’s handling of the coronavirus response to harm his 2020 presidential campaign instead of informing the American public about the persistent lies by China and the World Health Organization that has turned a bad situation into a human and economic catastrophe.
Regardless of whether the virus came from a state-run lab in Wuhan or from a live animal market, the Chinese government intentionally misled the world repeatedly by saying they had no evidence of person-to-person transmission. An in-depth study by The Lancet revealed the first patient, a male, presented in Wuhan on December 1, 2019. Five days after the onset of his illness, his 53-year-old wife, with no known history of exposure to the wet market, also presented with pneumonia and was hospitalized in the isolation ward.
The act of isolating this woman reveals doctors were aware of person-to-person transmission. More cases of “pneumonia clusters” and medical staff becoming ill and quarantined throughout December show obvious knowledge of contagiousness. For example, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that in late December 2019, Wuhan hospitals noticed “an exponential increase” in the number of cases that cannot be linked to the Wuhan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the virus was first reported, which again shows an unambiguous pattern of person-to-person transmission. However, on December 31, the Chinese government issued its first lie to the world, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.”
Dr. Li Wenliang, an outspoken Chinese ophthalmologist, contacted a group of other doctors on December 30, warning them about a possible outbreak of an illness that resembled severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), urging them to take protective measures against infection. On January 1, 2020, The Wuhan Public Security Bureau accused Dr. Wenliang of “spreading rumors” and summoned him to a police station where he signed a statement acknowledging his “misdemeanor” and agreement to cease and desist from committing other “unlawful acts.” Seven other individuals were detained on similar charges, and their fate is unknown. Dr. Li Wenliang was the first medical professional in China to sound the alarm on the person-to-person spread of COVID-19; the doctor died of the virus on February 7, 2020.
On January 1, 2020, when Dr. Li Wenliang was arrested, Chinese health officials ordered genome sequence testing in Wuhan stopped, and all samples were destroyed. That day, 175,000 people were allowed to depart Wuhan by plane to many countries. Over the next 30 days, the Chinese government, which forbade travel to and from Wuhan within China, allowed nearly 5,000 people to travel from Wuhan to the United States. Two days later, China reiterates the lie, “as of now, preliminary investigations have shown no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infections.” China would not admit human-to-human transmission publicly until January 20, and by this time, millions of Chinese people had been allowed to travel worldwide, carrying the virus with them.
An act of sabotage? An act of incompetence? An attempt to hamper Donald Trump’s re-election prospects knowing that a Biden victory would mean a softening stance toward China and a return to a passive United States? And the larger question remains: knowing what we know now, why do our leaders, and the rest of the world, for that matter, not hold China responsible in some way for what they’ve done? We are sanctioning Russia for invading Ukraine, which is fine, but China is given a pass for knowingly allowing a virus to spread around the globe and lying about it for a month.
Now, we all watch the alliance between China and Russia bloom, and China with impunity is assisting Russia to navigate around sanctions by offering alternative credit and trade avenues- still, China gets the pass.
