China’s Crime - Covid 19 - By Laurence F. Sanford

China’s crimes against humanity are numerous and deadly. One crime is China’s conducting worldwide biological warfare with the release of Covid 19 or the Wuhan Virus.
Words matter and the Western elite’s acceptance of the word “Covid 19” instead of “Wuhan Virus” is indicative of elites kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda. Previous viral pandemics were named after the place of origin. The CCP wanted the world to be diverted from thinking of Chinese culpability in the virus, and accused anyone using the term “Wuhan” as being racist.
News of a new virus in Wuhan, China, started surfacing in the fall of 2019. China started implementing lockdowns by confining citizens to their homes and forced closings of businesses. The authorities banned Chinese domestic airline flights to and from Wuhan, but allowed international flights to and from Wuhan, thus spreading the virus worldwide.
The origins of the virus are not known by the outside world as Chinese authorities have forbidden open inspections and issued reports with no credibility. One can never trust the words of communists (ask Hong Kong residents about their special status). One theory, propounded by the CCP, has America being responsible for the virus. Another theory is that the virus came from the “wet” market in Wuhan, where live and dead exotic animals are sold on open air tables with little or no sanitation controls.
A more plausible theory as to what caused the spread of the Wuhan virus is that a Wuhan lab worker, investigating deadly viruses, smuggled out an animal (or animals) that had been used in an experiment to sell in the wet market. The totalitarian CCP suppressed the news because totalitarian governments lie to enhance favorable world public relations.
China continues with draconian city lockdowns, aiming for zero infections, even though evidence is slight that lockdowns stop the virus from spreading. What lockdowns do, however, is demonstrate the power of the state.
America is somewhat culpable in the development of the Wuhan virus. Starting in 2014, the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, funded New York based research nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance with annual grants through 2020 for “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” Total funding was $3,748,715 of which $600,000 went to the Wuhan Lab. EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, has consistently advocated that the Wuhan virus came from direct animal-to-human contact, and not from a lab. Yet, despite intensive efforts, no one has yet found a bat population that could have caused the Wuhan virus.
The United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO) sent researchers to China to investigate the origin of Covid 19. The WHO admitted that the investigation was restricted and they did not have the level of access needed. Somehow, however, the WHO researchers reached the conclusion that a lab leak was not the likely source of the outbreak but rather was an animal-to-human transmission.
WHO’s Director-General Tedros Adhanom is beholden to China. He previously served in an Ethiopian Marxist government as Health Director, and then Foreign Minister, when Ethiopia received millions of dollars in aid from China. Tedros became Director- General of WHO primarily through the influence of China. Tedros is an example of “elite capture” where one is corrupted by Chinese money, access, or favors. In turn, the recipient will return favors towards China. In this case, the favor was toeing the CCP line on the pandemic in finding that bats, not the Wuhan lab, were the source of the pandemic.
China’s crime is not only developing “gain of function” deadly pathogens, but also in the cover-up resulting in the deaths of millions and economic hardships throughout the world.
The virus has mutated in a fashion and at a rate more in common with genetically-manipulated viruses as compared with those known natural occurring. There have been 2.5 times as many deaths in the United States from the China Virus as compared to all deaths (military and civilian) in the Second World War; 1,042678 vs 418,500. Given the human and financial costs of this catastrophe, when dealing with Communist China, the United States should take a strategy lesson from Reagan's approach to the other Evil Empire.
