Chinese scientists deleted key data that could help identify origins of COVID-19, study claims

Chinese researchers appear to have deleted important data from a global database operated by the National Institutes of Health that could provide key insights into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a preprint study claims.



An American scientist recovered the deleted data from cloud storage and published his analysis Tuesday. The paper, "Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic," suggests that early virus samples from the Wuhan seafood market that until now have been the focus of most studies on the origins of the pandemic "are not fully representative of the viruses actually present in Wuhan at that time."



The paper is not yet peer-reviewed, and its findings should not yet be considered conclusive. The recovered virus samples do not support either the "lab leak" hypothesis or the "natural origins" hypothesis of the origins of SARS-CoV-2, according to scientists who have examined the paper. But these scientists say it does suggest the virus was spreading in Wuhan earlier than the Chinese government claimed, and the paper's author, Dr. Jesse Bloom, says his findings should reinforce skepticism that China has fully shared all relevant data on COVID-19.



Bloom, an influenza virus expert at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, also says his study should be a cause for hope that scientists can recover additional information about the early spread of SARS-CoV-2 without an international investigation.



In the course of his research into SARS-CoV-2, Bloom read a paper that analyzed data from a project by Wuhan University that sequenced 45 positive coronavirus cases from January and early February 2020. The Chinese study, which developed an improved technique to test for and diagnose COVID-19 cases, was peer-reviewed and published in June 2020.



The SARS-CoV-2 sequences obtained by the Chinese researchers were uploaded to the NIH's Sequence Read Archive (SRA), a database for storing what are essentially maps of how viruses are built. These sequences can help scientists study how a virus originated and evolved over time, and such study may lead to knowledge that can prevent the next pandemic.



But when Bloom went to the SRA to examine the Chinese sequences, he found the data had been deleted. He explained in his paper that the SRA "is designed as a permanent archive of deep sequencing data." The only circumstances under which data can be removed is if the original researchers make an email request to have it deleted, provide reasons for doing so, and have that request approved by SRA staff.



A spokesperson for the NIH told the Telegraph that the NIH had "reviewed the submitting investigator's request to withdraw the data" in June 2020 and subsequently removed it.



"The requestor indicated the sequence information had been updated, was being submitted to another database, and wanted the data removed from SRA to avoid version control issues," the spokesperson said. "Submitting investigators hold the rights to their data and can request withdrawal of the data."



Bloom attempted to contact the Wuhan University researchers asking why they requested the data be deleted but did not receive a response. He noted in his paper that "there is no plausible scientific reason for the deletion" and suggested "it therefore seems likely the sequences were deleted to obscure their existence."



Fortunately, he was able to recover some of the data from the Google Cloud, obtaining 34 early positive COVID-19 samples, and he was able to reconstruct partial viral sequences from 13 of them.



In a Twitter thread about his paper, Bloom explained why these sequences are crucial for understanding the origins of the virus.



"Although events that led to emergence of #SARSCoV2 in Wuhan are unclear (zoonosis vs lab accident), everyone agrees deep ancestors are coronaviruses from bats," Bloom said.



"Therefore, we'd expect the first #SARSCoV2 sequences would be more similar to bat coronaviruses, and as #SARSCoV2 continued to evolve it would become more divergent from these ancestors. But that is *not* the case!" he continued.



"Instead, early Huanan Seafood Market #SARSCoV2 viruses are more different from bat coronaviruses than #SARSCoV2 viruses collected later in China and even other countries."



These findings suggest that the first virus samples from Huanan Seafood Market, originally suspected by scientists to be the source of viral outbreak, were not the earliest evolutions of the virus. That would mean SARS-CoV-2 was circulating before China reported its first confirmed COVID-19 case on Dec. 8, 2019, and did not necessarily originate in the wet market.

Reacting to this new information, University of California, Berkeley, Professor Rasmus Neilsen, a genomics expert, said the findings "are the most important data that we have received regarding the origins of Covid-19 for more than a year."



Bloom said his work has several important implications.



"First, [the] fact this dataset was deleted should make us skeptical that all other relevant early Wuhan sequences have been shared," he tweeted, noting that China ordered many labs to destroy early samples of the virus.



"Sequence sharing could be further limited by fact that scientists in China are under an order from the State Council requiring central approval of all publications," he added.

Former State Dept investigator on leaked Fauci emails: 'I don't trust these scientists' about Wuhan lab

David Asher says some scientists in China's 'pocket'



Former State Department investigator David Asher weighed in Wednesday on leaked emails of Dr. Anthony Fauci, including correspondence with a key figure linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology who thanked Fauci for using his voice to "dispel the myths" that the COVID-19 pandemic may have been a product of a lab leak.



"Can you trust these scientists? I don't trust these scientists right now" said Asher. "I trust our national lab scientists, I trust our Army scientists. I don't trust these paid, in the pocket by Chinese scientists."



In May of 2020, Daszak said there was "zero evidence" that the virus came out of a lab in China during an appearance on "60 Minutes."

Hillary Clinton warned in 2009 of potential 'biological weapons proliferation' in Wuhan lab, leaked cable shows

https://www.theblaze.com/news/hillary-clinton-leaked-cable-wuhan-lab?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210624Trending-HillaryWuhan&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News">https://www.theblaze.com/news/hillary-c ... ing%20News">https://www.theblaze.com/news/hillary-clinton-leaked-cable-wuhan-lab?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210624Trending-HillaryWuhan&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News



According to a leaked State Department cable from 2009, Clinton expressed concerns that the Wuhan Institute of Virology — newly accredited with biosafety level 4 clearance — could lead to "biological weapons proliferation."



The cable, obtained via WikiLeaks and unearthed by Human Events, appears to have been sent in June 2009 to member nations ahead of the Australia Group's plenary meeting in Paris, scheduled Sept. 21-25.



According to its website, the Australia Group is an informal forum of countries that "seeks to ensure that exports do not contribute to the development of chemical or biological weapons." China is not a member country.



At the outset of the cable, Clinton stated, "We believe it is important to focus on emerging chemical and biological technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related goods and threats." Later, specifically addressing France, Clinton wrote:



The U.S. believes participants would benefit from hearing about your experiences assisting China in setting up a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from the export control and intangible technology transfer perspectives. We are particularly interested to know how China plans to vet incoming foreign researchers from countries of biological weapons proliferation concern.

In 2003, the WIV was approved by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to begin construction of a BSL-4 lab. The project was eventually completed in 2014 with significant help along the way from France.



Earlier in the cable, Clinton voiced concerns about China's involvement in biological weapons proliferation, in general. She asked Australia to relay what it knew about China's Institutes of Biological Products, using "overhead imagery analysis, if possible," and share its "perceptions of the CBW proliferation activities by Chinese entities."



Why does it matter?

Though not quite accusations, Clinton's assertions certainly implied she had concerns about China's biological weapons programs, specifically in reference to the WIV.



Yet, in March 2020, when Trump referred to COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" due to its origination point, Clinton turned the tables.



"The president is turning to racist rhetoric to distract from his failures to take the coronavirus seriously early on, make tests widely available, and adequately prepare the country for a period of crisis," she tweeted. "Don't fall for it. Don't let your friends and family fall for it."



Not surprisingly, not long after Clinton's tweet posted, it was picked up by Chinese state-run media and lauded as a defense of the truth.



Though dismissed by public health experts and mainstream media figures for over a year, the theory suggesting that the virus leaked from a Chinese lab has picked up immense steam in recent months.

Facebook was not the only big tech giant Maher criticized. Maher slammed Google over allegations of manipulating search results to prefer what the company considered "authoritative" sources.



"Well you were wrong, Google and Facebook, we don't know. The reason why we want you is because we are checking on this shit," Maher said, proceeding to criticize the "authoritative" sources, saying the "CDC has been wrong about a lot of sh*t" and the "WHO has been very corrupt."



He then criticized YouTube for allegedly censoring information related to ivermectin saying, "Ivermectin is not a registered Republican. It's a drug!"



The ban, put into effect Apr. 16, 2020, deemed allegations of lab leak or deliberate development of the COVID-19 as misinformation.

Newly surfaced emails show Fauci's agency gave grants for bat coronavirus research to US-Chinese scientists; Wuhan lab scrambled to find disinfectant



Newly surfaced emails show connections among a U.S. health agency headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance, and Chinese scientists. The recently exposed documents also show that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were scrambling to find disinfectant and asked a National Institutes of Health official for help.



Judicial Watch obtained 301 pages of emails and other records from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases officials who had connections with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. According to the documents that were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, the NIAID gave at least nine grants to EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S. nonprofit organization focused on finding unknown viruses and infectious diseases in nature. EcoHealth Alliance reportedly used those NIAID grants to work with Chinese scientists on research such as probing the emergence of a bat coronavirus — years before the COVID-19 pandemic.





Judicial Watch lists the nine grants to EcoHealth Alliance from the NIAID, where Dr. Fauci has been the director since 1984:



One grant awarded each year between 2010 and 2012 to EcoHealth Alliance, working with Chinese collaborator Jinping Chen of Guangdong Entomological Institute, to study in China "Risk of Viral Emergence from Bats."

One grant awarded each year from 2014 to 2017 to EcoHealth Alliance, working with Chinese collaborator Changwen Ke of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of Guangdong, in a project titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence."

A grant was issued in 2012 to EcoHealth Alliance, working with Xiangming Xiao of the East China Normal University, in a project titled "Comparative Spillover Dynamics of Avian Influenza in Endemic Countries."

A grant was issued in 2018 to EcoHealth Alliance, again working with Ke in the project called "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence."

The recently emerged emails also show that scientists at China's Wuhan lab were scrambling to find disinfectant for equipment, including positive pressure personnel suits.



The physical facilities of the Wuhan Institute of Virology were completed in January 2015, which made it China's first biosafety level 4 laboratory. BSL-4 laboratories are "used to study infectious agents or toxins that pose a high risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections and life-threatening disease for which no vaccines or therapies are available," according to the U.S. Health and Human Services.



"Laboratory personnel are required to wear full-body, air-supplied suits, which are the most sophisticated type of PPE," the HHS states of BSL-4 labs. "All personnel shower before exiting the laboratory and go through a series of procedures designed to fully decontaminate them before leaving."



The emails from 2016 that were recovered by the FOIA request show a conversation where Wuhan Institute of Virology vice director Yuan Zhiming asked National Institutes of Health virologist Jens Kuhn for help getting disinfectant for the equipment in China's potentially dangerous BSL-4 lab.





"I am writing to you to ask your help," Zhiming wrote. "Our laboratory is under operation without pathogens, and we are now looking for the disinfectants for decontamination of airtight suits and surface decontamination indoor decontamination."



"We have tried several ones do [sic] determine their antiviral efficacy and corrosion to pipeline and wastewater treatment equipment," he continued. "Unfortunately, we have found a good candidate. I hope you can give us some help, to give us some suggestion for the choice of disinfectants used in P4 laboratory."



Zhiming allegedly asks what kinds of disinfectants are effective for decontamination of airtight protective clothes, doors, the laboratory, infectious materials, and air decontamination.



Zhiming concluded the email, "Best regards and looking forward to seeing you in Wuhan." In a later email, Kuhn said he "personally" met Zhiming "in Wuhan twice."



After news of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, Zhiming purportedly wrote to Kuhn on March 20, 2020:





The 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak is a major challenge for global public health security. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with serious acute respiratory distress syndrome with large number of patients' hospitalization and relatively high mortality. We had a very hard time in combating the infection in Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 in China, and now we can see the situation goes in good direction, with no reported confirmed case, no reported suspected case in last two days here.



My colleagues and I, have been working on characterization of pathogens, antiviral screen, vaccine development, animal modeling since the early January this year, and some progresses have been made. I hope our understanding of the virus and the technology could be valuable in the global fighting to the virus.

There is also a February 2018 email from Dr. Ping Chen, the NIAID representative in China, discussing a "type of new flu vaccine using nano-technology from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology."



Judicial Watch added that "the Chinese had blocked all Internet links to reports on the new technology." This development allegedly prompted Chen to write a "night note" to U.S. government officials, which said, "The intranasal nano-vaccine can target broad-spectrum flu viruses and induces robust immune responses."



In a January 2017 report to NIH colleagues, Chen mentioned the "Global Virome Project," which described its mission as: "Stimulate the development of an innovative network of public, private, philanthropic, and civil organizations to detect the majority of our planet's unknown viral threats to human health and food security to prepare for and stop future epidemics."



Chen described the Global Virome Project and showed a link to Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance:



The purpose of the project is to identify viruses present in the wildlife with potential crossing over to humans, causing human infection and disease. Following the identification of the viruses is the development of vaccines to protect human population... One of the partners in this project is EcoHealth Alliance. Peter Daszak from EcoHealth Alliance is one of the leaders for the GVP project and he has NIAID grant from RDB looking at the coronaviruses in Bat populations in China in collaboration with Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Progressives are expressing outrage online over new merchandise being sold by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that celebrates freedom — and also happens to mock lockdown advocate Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Other purchase options include hats and flags that say "Keep Florida Free" or a red koozie saying, "How the hell am I going to be able to drink a beer with a mask on?"



The gear is clearly intended as a jab against the draconian lockdown orders and mask mandates instituted across the country over the past year, measures that were often promoted by Fauci.



In Florida, DeSantis took a different approach, allowing residents of his state to retain their constitutionally enshrined freedoms while still combating the virus.



While discussing Florida's budget recently, the governor noted that his state's promising financial outlook would not have been possible "if we had followed Fauci," adding, "Instead we followed freedom."
