Concern is beginning to mount that officials in China knew about the
dangers of the coronavirus earlier than they have previously let on.
Scientists were aware of the virus, and suspected how deadly it could
become, but government officials urged them to be quiet.
Dr. Li Wenliang, a doctor who worked at Wuhan Central Hospital, raised alarm bells about the virus. He had contacted medical colleagues
on December 30, but police instructed him to stay silent and to desist
in “making false comments.” He has since died from the illness.
Only
34 years old at the time of his death, Dr. Li was aware of seven cases
that resembled SARS, which was also a global pandemic in 2003, but of a
lesser magnitude than the COVID-19 strain of coronavirus. .....China is lying to the world about coronavirus. It has been for since
2019. And now is the time for everyone living in free democracies to put
aside ideological differences and reject the propaganda. As more and
more evidence of China’s deception emerges, we must realize that calling
that out is also standing up for our own democracy, freedom and way of
life. In our global age, no nation has the right to withhold information
that can impact all of us."
