On the four-year anniversary of a WHO tweet, scrutiny has intensified over the organization's role in echoing China's misleading initial reports about COVID-19. By mid-January, evidence shows the Chinese government knew of human-to-human transmission, yet WHO’s compliant tweet helped perpetuate China’s obfuscations. Taiwan had warned the WHO about the transmission risk in December 2019, but it was ignored. A Congress investigation revealed Beijing was studying the virus before informing the world, and CCP scientists had submitted the COVID sequence to a U.S. database and then deleted it weeks before officially acknowledging it. The CCP is also accused of knowing about a lab leak, which they tried to cover up, resulting in over a million lives lost. Rep. Gallagher, following a @HouseCommerce investigation, highlighted that the pandemic virus genome was deposited in a U.S. database in December 2019, raising concerns about information suppression in future outbreaks.
China’s withholding of COVID-19 bug’s genome for weeks just adds to its outrageous record https://t.co/Z3RDA0eCla https://t.co/vJ6bYLMDjH
We now know by late Dec there were many efforts underway by researchers in China to sequence SARS-CoV2. What we don't know is why government officials shut down those efforts and centralized release of information; even telling some labs to destroy samples https://t.co/hMW9hCtq5F
Rep. Gallagher’s statement after a @HouseCommerce investigation found that a Chinese researcher uploaded the COVID-19 gene sequence to a U.S. government database nearly two weeks before the CCP shared the same information with the world. https://t.co/1rEOqaXpuJ
Shocking that we're only finding out 4 years later that the pandemic virus genome had been deposited in a US database in Dec 2019. Worse still, there's no guarantee that key info won't be withheld again in future outbreaks. https://t.co/Aw7RU7KVEa
The CCP knew about the lab leak, tried to bury the story, and blamed American soldiers for spreading the virus. Beijing’s lies cost us over a million lives. https://t.co/LnCUlIwJSj

More proof the Chinese covered up Covid: Congress investigation finds Beijing was studying virus weeks before it told the world https://t.co/hXrJR39eYO https://t.co/xwLGhtmTXr
Not only did China not share the genome of the virus for more than 2 weeks, we now know. It also had the SEQUENCE before it even admitted there was an OUTBREAK. Why? It looks more and more suspicious, as well as criminal. https://t.co/WXm5FQhkAM
Conveniently, 4 years ago was January 2020, just weeks before Trump handed our country over to Anthony Fauci and the WHO. https://t.co/kC1HIoGJdM
The more time passes, the clearer it becomes that the Chinese Communist Party knew much more about COVID than they let on before it spread to the world. And remember, Taiwan warned the World Health Organization about human-to-human transmission in Dec. 2019. The WHO ignored it. https://t.co/50HkfU1bbx
Haha four years ago. https://t.co/JnvOy2bKXg
It’s the four-year anniversary on this tweet from the World Health Organization. The record now shows that by mid January, the Chinese government had clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of COVID; and WHO’s compliant Tweet helped perpetuate China’s initial obfuscations https://t.co/zO6GY3O57b
