The Biden administration illegally covered up a bombshell report detailing how American military members contracted what appeared to be COVID-19 in October of 2019.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the report detailed seven service members having COVID-like symptoms while competing in the World Military Games, which were being held in Wuhan, China. Biden and his handlers not only violated a legal provision of the 2022 Defense Reauthorization Act to memory-hole that, but they also lied to the American people in public comments about the existence of such evidence. 

The December 2022 report, which the Biden administration was required by law to release to the public over two years ago but didn’t, reveals for the first time that seven U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19-like symptoms during or after their participation in the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019—contradicting the Biden administration’s public claims in 2021 that there was no evidence that any American participants contracted the virus at those games. The revelation adds to a mounting body of evidence that the virus was circulating in Wuhan for months before China disclosed it to the world in December 2019 and further bolsters the growing consensus that it could have leaked into the human population from a Chinese lab...

...The potential COVID-19 illnesses from the American participants in the Wuhan World Military Games appear to have been a closely guarded secret of the Defense Department. Chinese authorities have suggested since as early as February 2020 that America could have unleashed COVID-19 into Wuhan through their participation in the World Military Games. Former Biden Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Post in June 2021 that the military had "no knowledge" of any COVID-19 infections among the troops that participated in those games.

For further context, the games were held within walking distance of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where a growing consensus of intelligence sources believe COVID-19 originated. It has long been suspected that the virus was present in the Chinese city for months before the CCP officially acknowledged it. That delay exacerbated the COVID-19  pandemic and kneecapped the rest of the world's ability to respond effectively (possibly through travel restrictions).

That's not really the bombshell in this story, though. The big news here is Biden's corruption surrounding this report and what it tells us about his family's entanglements. We've known for a long time through various sources that COVID-19 almost certainly existed in China by the Fall of 2019. What we have not had is an official government declaration of that (until now, due to the Trump administration). Is there any other explanation for Biden covering this up other than it being an attempt to protect China? 

Which brings us to the why in all this. As RedState has extensively reported, the Biden family was deeply in league with China, including doing business with CCP operatives. In 2013, while visiting China on an official state visit, Joe Biden introduced Hunter Biden to Xi Jinping. Among the other people they met with were Jonathan Li and Ming Xue, who would become "business associates" of the president's son.

Photos of those meetings were released in December of 2024, after years of stalling by the National Archives finally ended. Biden fought tooth and nail to keep them from coming out before the election.

In other words, there is every reason to be deeply suspicious about why Biden hid a report from the American people that would have been severely damaging to China. No one should be ignoring these connections and filing them under coincidences. The election may be in the rearview mirror, and Biden may be out of the public eye, but he and his family shouldn't be immune from the consequences of their corruption. Hopefully, the Trump DOJ is looking into all of this.
