Former President Joe Biden’s administration covered up a report on COVID-19 that revealed evidence linking the origins of the virus to China.
The buried report reveals that American soldiers were infected while traveling to China in 2019, before the initial outbreak was confirmed.
Seven U.S. service members who attended the World Military Games in Wuhan experienced Covid-like symptoms, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The Biden administration was required by law to release the Defense Department report.
However, it was not publicly available until it was made public by President Donald Trump’s administration.
In 2020, the Prospect reported that the American athletes traveled to and from Wuhan through Seattle, Washington.
As some may recall, Washington state was one of the first Covid hotspots in the U.S.
Thousands of athletes attended the military games in Wuhan.
The event ran for two weeks in October 2019 at a stadium close to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The WIV biolab is considered one of the prime culprits for the origin of the outbreak.
Athletes from different countries later reported feeling Covid-like symptoms, and they described the city of Wuhan as oddly desolate.
The U.S. performed bat coronavirus research in Wuhan that was funded with tax dollars by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci played a leading role in the initial effort to discredit the lab leak theory that has since gained mainstream acceptance.
The CIA now considers a lab leak to be more probable than the wet market scenario that was backed by many scientists at the outset of the pandemic.
The Pentagon has long dismissed questions about the military games and their possible role in the pandemic.
Biden’s Defense spokesperson John Kirby told the Washington Post that the military was not aware of any service members being infected, even though none of the troops were tested.
The Biden administration’s newly public three-page report offers the explanation that testing “was not available at this early stage of the pandemic.”
Biden officials claimed that it was impossible to say if the infected service members had Covid or other respiratory illnesses.
The soldiers had Covid-like symptoms from October 18, 2019, through January 21, 2020, and their symptoms cleared within six days, the report says.
“Data surveillance reports from military treatment facilities indicate no statistically significant difference in COVID-19-like symptoms cases at installations with participating athletes when compared to installations without them,” the report notes.
The World Military Games was looked at as a possible source of the virus in March 2020, the Washington Post previously reported.
Chinese propaganda in the early stage of the pandemic blamed U.S. athletes for bringing Covid to Wuhan during the games.
But this new information corroborates the theory that China – and later, Biden – covered up clues about the origin, Republicans say.
In a statement to the Free Beacon, Senator Joni Ernst said:
“Taxpayers deserve to know the truth about COVID-19 origins, but the Biden administration concealed this information from the American people for years.
“This report should have been made public immediately and not restricted to Washington insiders.
“If Americans visiting Wuhan were potentially infected with the COVID-19 virus in October 2019, those claiming the pandemic began in a wet market just two months later would be completely off base.”
