Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime scientists had access to a SARS-CoV-2 sequence weeks before they handed one over to the United Nations (UN), according to documents uncovered by House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans. The sequence was even submitted to a U.S. database, but it was deleted when U.S. officials began asking questions about it.
Dr. Lili Ren, working for a pathogen research institute attached to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, submitted a sequence for SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID, to the U.S. National National Institutes of Health (NIH) database GenBank on December 28th, 2019.
Not until January 11th, 2020, was a sequence for the villy published; however, when China submitted the information to the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the WHO sequence was in the hands of the Chinese version of the CDC by January 5th but was not shared with scientists overseas.
Ren’s earlier, unpublished sequence “was nearly identical” to the one given to the WHO weeks later, Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Legislation Melanie Egorin told the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The Chinese researcher ignored the NIH when asked for further details on the December sequence; however, it was quietly deleted from the GenBank database on January 16th.
Committee Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said the findings prove the U.S. “cannot trust any of the so-called ‘facts’ or data provided by the CCP and calls into serious question the legitimacy of any scientific theories based on such information.”
Ren is attached to U.S.-funded coronavirus projects led by EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance leader Peter Daszak has links to Anthony Fauci and is still using U.S. funding to experiment with exotic viruses from bats and other animals.
