Biden Administration Accused of Concealing Report on Military COVID Cases in Wuhan

The Biden administration is under fire for allegedly concealing a December 2022 report indicating that seven U.S. service members may have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, during the 2019 World Military Games. According to the report, which was required to be publicly released by law but was not, these service members exhibited COVID-19-like symptoms shortly after returning from the event. This revelation contradicts earlier statements from the administration claiming no U.S. participants contracted the virus at the games. Critics, including Republican Senator Joni Ernst, argue that the lack of transparency raises serious concerns about accountability regarding the origins of the pandemic. The report has been linked to broader speculation that the virus may have been circulating in Wuhan prior to its official recognition. The findings add to the narrative that the virus could potentially have leaked from a laboratory in China, as previously suggested by various sources.
