Busting Covert Chinese Bio-Lab in California
White mice had been genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid virus, the MidValley Times reported. The illegal lab harbored potentially infectious bacterial and viral agents including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5, rubella, samples of malaria and “thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.”
As Harper revealed, the original lab was in Fresno and operated by Universal Meditech, Inc. (UMI), licensed by the state of California on March 20, 2019. On March 24, 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development struck a tax credit allocation of $360,000 with UMI. CEO Zhaoyan Wang thanked Fresno’s Economic Development Corporation for “further assistance” with California tax credits.

According to court documents, 35 separate refrigerators and freezers contained biological material, blood, tissue, serum, bodily fluid samples, and medical waste. Two freezers were set at minus 80 and minus 60 degrees Celsius and 29 refrigerators at -20 C. According to court documents the low temperatures “raised concerns that infectious agents were stored on site.”

Research with viruses and bacteria is risky, even in government BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs. As Rep. Bart Stupak noted in 2007, “No one in the federal government even knows for sure how many of these labs there are in the United States, much less what research they are doing or whether they are safe and secure.”
No safeguards of any sort existed at the covert laboratory in Reedley, California. Such a facility could easily speed the spread of Covid-19 or disease from other infectious agents. Embattled Americans have a right to know how many covert Chinese labs are out there and what, if anything, state and federal officials are going to do about it.
