NIH deleted early COVID-19 data at the request of the Chinese


How will the U.S. ever hold China accountable for the spread of the coronavirus if our government officials are complicit in the cover-up?

The U.S. National Institutes of Health deleted early coronavirus gene data sequences in one of their databases, at the request of the Chinese researchers, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The NIH confirmed to the Journal that it deleted the sequences after receiving a request from a Chinese researcher who submitted them three months earlier. The Chinese researcher promised the NIH they would refresh and upload new data in another database; however, it’s unclear if that ever happened.

The NIH told the Journal it deleted the data because “submitting investigators hold the rights to their data and can request withdrawal of the data,” so in other words, bureaucratic nonsense.

“It makes us wonder if there are other sequences like these that have been purged,” Vaughn S. Cooper, a University of Pittsburgh evolutionary biologist, told the Journal. The Journal reported the missing sequences weren’t likely to change researchers’ current understanding of the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic but do cast further doubt on China‘s cooperation and transparency in the investigation into the origin of the virus.

It’s also unclear the role Dr. Anthony Fauci played in aiding and abetting the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in their gain-of-function research. Dr. Fauci initially resisted an order from then-President Donald J. Trump to cancel a U.S. research grant for nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance linked to WIV, but “reluctantly agreed” after he learned Mr. Trump explicitly ordered its cancellation, Fox News reported after obtaining an advanced copy of the book, “Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History,” authored by two Washington Post reporters.

After the Obama administration banned U.S. funding of gain-of-function research in China, Dr. Fauci quietly reinstated it during the Trump years.

“Fauci was directly responsible in December of 2017 for lifting the ban on gain-of-function experiments – deemed extremely dangerous by the Obama Administration in 2014,” former senior advisor to President Trump Peter Navarro wrote on our pages. “As a White House official at the time familiar with process, I can tell you here that Dr. Fauci pulled a fast one on the...
