Wuhan lab report raises further questions about possible COVID-19 lab leak | Fox News

As calls to at least investigate the lab-leak theory have gained traction internationally, Chinese government propaganda has become much more aggressive to dispel it the latest in a pattern to obscure information about the pandemic since its onset. 

On February 27, 2020, Health Times, published an interview with Yu Chuanhua, the Vice President of the Hubei Health Statistics and Information Society, who has compiled a database of confirmed COVID-19 cases.  He cited a patient who became ill September 29 and that “There were two cases in November, and the onset time was November 14 and November 21, 2019.” 

“Before the interview was published on February 27th, Yu called the reporter and tried to retract the information regarding the two sick patients in November. It is likely that this was done to comply with the China CDC gag order that was issued two days prior,” according to the congressional report. 

In a January 2021 email, Dr. Shi Zheng-li, a senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was asked about the lab s public database disappearance from the internet.  Shi, according to the report, had previously “given several conflicting answers” as to why the database was taken down, and responded:  “I ll not answer any of your questions if your curiosity is based on the conspiracy of man made or lab leak of SARS-CoV-2 or some non-sense questions based on your suspicion.”  

“No trust, no conversation,” she said.
