High security lab at Fort Detrick, linked by Chinese propagandists to the outbreak of Covid-19 - without evidence

US research facility that studies Sars-CoV-2, Ebola, Lassa fever, Marburg and Eastern equine encephalitis

Has been shut down by the Trump administration amid safety concerns.

NIH has implemented a research pause – a safety stand-down

Told by email to stop all experimental work by 5pm on April 29

Identification and documentation of personnel issues involving contract staff that compromised the facility’s safety culture

“Substantial evidence suggested the Covid-19 might have emerged in the United States earlier than its officially-claimed timeline, and earlier than the outbreak in China,”

Prof Stuart Neil, head of infectious diseases at King’s College London.

“The sustained attacks on collaborative US biomedical science and public health are already destroying disease surveillance systems and game-changing clinical trials that will result in avoidable deaths and morbidities for years to come in some of the poorest countries,”

This is wilful vandalism of research and treatment programmes that have taken years to establish – things that you could legitimately say made America great,”

Prof Francis Collins

Led the NIH for 12 years

“more children and adults in low-income countries will now lose their lives because of research that didn’t get done”.

Evidence Pointing to the US as the Origin of Covid-19

Numerous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 originated outside China.

prior to the outbreak in Wuhan, multiple regions in the US recorded positive SARS-CoV-2 test results and other evidence of the virus

It (US) must promptly respond to the legitimate concerns of the international community, proactively share with the WHO data on its early suspected cases,

disclose information about Fort Detrick, its global network of biological laboratories, and the so-called research conducted therein, and provide a responsible account to the global public.

Between 2006 and 2013

US reported at least 1,500 serious laboratory incidents involving SARS, MERS, Ebola, anthrax, smallpox, and avian influenza.

China prioritized lives and health above all else, and implemented comprehensive, science-based and effective containment measures.

… and to expose the mismanaged pandemic response in the United States.

China has always applied a science-based approach to the task of tracing the virus origins, actively engaging with the WHO

Contributing Chinese Wisdom to the Study of the Origins of SARS-CoV-2

To date, no findings have contradicted the conclusions of the "Joint WHO-China Study". It is fair to say that the study on the origins of SARS-CoV-2 conducted in China has ended.

2. China's Open and Transparent Updates on Its Findings Regarding the Origins of the Virus

China conducted systematic testing on more than 80,000 samples collected from bats, pangolins, wild birds, wild boars, raccoon dogs, and other wildlife, as well as livestock and poultry across the country.

2017 to 2021 samples

analyses detected no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 circulation in these animal populations.

… there is a possibility that the outbreak in the market at the end of 2019 was introduced to China from abroad via cold-chain transportation

Through systematic epidemiological investigations, molecular tracing, animal host screening, and studies on cold-chain transmission, the possibility of Wuhan being the natural origin of SARS-CoV-2 was scientifically ruled out.

Shifting Blame for the Ineffective US Pandemic Response

The US has made China the primary scapegoat for its own mismanaged Covid-19 response.
