Doesn't stop the Telegraph from putting a Chinese man on the front when the story is about the US.

At a conference in Madrid earlier this year, he said he was “pretty convinced” that Sars-Cov-2 “came out of a US lab of biotechnology, not out of nature” – a claim that has since been widely promoted by Chinese diplomats.

Yeah like the west doesn't already say it came from China.

      The Chinese have been blowing the whistle through official channels.

      The US should start with the following four things:

      First, the US should publish and examine the data of its early cases, including the respiratory diseases of unknown cause in Virginia, the large-scale EALI outbreak in Wisconsin, and the unexplained pneumonia outbreaks in two retirement communities near the Fort Detrick base in July 2019. The US should conduct nucleic acid testing and antibody testing of the blood serum samples of these aforementioned patients.

      Second, the US should invite WHO experts to investigate Fort Detrick and its 200+ bio-labs overseas.

      Third, the US should invite WHO experts to investigate the University of North Carolina. The team of Ralph S. Baric, particularly, is the authority of such kind of research with extremely mature capability in synergizing and modifying coronavirus[es].

      Fourth, the US should release the data concerning the sickened American military athletes who attended the World Military Games in Wuhan. In October 2019, the US sent more than 300 people to Wuhan for the games. Was there anyone with symptoms similar to those of COVID-19? What illness did those reported military athletes have exactly? The medical record should be revealed as soon as possible.

        A woman asked the CDC if they tested EVALI patients' serum samples for COVID and they responded "there is no need to because we already know that COVID wasn't in the US at that time". It seemed very presumptuous and unscientific IMO. I wish I could find the tweet.
