The Biden administration concealed a report showing U.S. troops had COVID symptoms in Wuhan—months before the pandemic was officially acknowledged.

They were legally required to release it. They didn’t.

Here’s what the admin covered up 🧵

The December 2022 report, which the Biden administration was required by law to release to the public over two years ago but didn’t, reveals for the first time that seven U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19-like symptoms during or after their participation in the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019—contradicting the Biden administration’s public claims in 2021 that there was no evidence that any American participants contracted the virus at those games. 

 

The revelation adds to a mounting body of evidence that the virus was circulating in Wuhan for months before China disclosed it to the world in December 2019 and further bolsters the growing consensus that it could have leaked into the human population from a Chinese lab. 

 

Former Biden Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Post in June 2021 that the military had "no knowledge" of any COVID-19 infections among the troops that participated in the military games in Wuhan. 

 

The games were held within close proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Chinese scientists, backed by U.S. taxpayer funds, conducted risky gain-of-function research on the same sort of bat coronaviruses that caused the pandemic. That research, which was supported by former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci, "almost certainly caused COVID-19," Rutgers University professor of chemical biology Richard Ebright told the Free Beacon.
