1. Back in December 2022, Code Enforcement Officer Jesalyn Harper noticed a green garden hose sticking out of a hole at facility called Universal Meditech Inc. lab located in Reedley, California.
She notified the owner of the violation.
2. Not content, Harper investigated further.
Further inspection found that the dingy warehouse contained expensive laboratory equipment, manufacturing devices, and what appeared to be medical-grade freezers.
3. Things took an even more bizarre turn when several workers in lab coats who told her that they were Chinese nationals.
She found thousands of vials of biological substances. Many were unlabeled. Others were labeled in Mandarin or in code.

4. The city also found approximately 1,000 transgenic mice. Mice used for research of human disease, which biolab workers told her were, "genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus."

5. These mysterious and inexplicable discoveries spurred a nine-month effort by the city of Reedley to address the public health risk found in the warehouse.
And what they found was like sliding down an Alice in biohazard land rabbit hole of intrigue, espionage and terror.
6. Terrified by what they saw, local law enforcement attempted to contact the FBI and the CDC, but both federal agencies declined to investigate.
Yes. They refused to investigate a makeshift lab experimenting on mice and homebrewing God alone knows what.
7. Given the absolute disinterest shown by Federal authorities, local law enforcement reached out to their representative Jim Costa.
This finally galvanized CDC into some action and CDC finally visited the lab in May 2023.
8. The CDC reported the facility contained "at least 20 potentially infectious agents," including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest form of Malaria.
They found a host of "potentially infectious agents" and separated them into two subgroups: "risk group 2 and risk group 3."
9. "Risk group 2" is as a human disease which is rarely serious and represents a moderate risk to an individual but a low risk to the community."
"Risk group 3" is defined as pathogens "associated with serious or lethal human disease and represent a high risk to an individual.

10. The story gets even crazier. Despite the admitted risks, the CDC refused to further investigate what appeared to be pathogens or other biological samples in the unmarked containers in the biolab *despite city officials offering to pay for the testing*
11. The CDC summarized its findings in a three-page report, which stated that there was "no evidence of select agents or toxins" and had state and local authorities can go ahead and destroy evidence from the facility.
12. The CDC ordered local officials to eradicate approximately 140 tons of general waste, including complex laboratory equipment and 448 gallons of medical and biological waste barely giving them any guidance on how to go about doing it.
13. Local officials went ahead and began the work off removing the biological waste.
It was at this point local officials found a freezer labeled "Ebola" with silver-sealed bags.
14. The House Select Committee on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) became involved with this most bizarre investigation and recently announced its findings.
15. They found that the owner of the lab, Jia Bei Zhu, is a wanted fugitive from Canada and a Chinese citizen.
He'd previously stolen millions worth of intellectual property from American companies and was part of an ongoing transnational criminal enterprise with ties to the PRC.
16. Zhu went by a number of aliases, was arrested in October for "manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices in violation of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and for making false statements to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."
17. Court documents allege that between December 2020 and March 2023, Zhu and others manufactured, imported, sold, and distributed hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 test kits, as well as tests for HIV, pregnancy and other conditions in the U.S. and China.
18. Mind you, this has nothing to do with Zhu's secret house of horrors lab doing unknown experiments on genetically modified mice and samples of HIV, COVID, Ebola, malaria and other sundry bioweapons.
They just wanted him to stop selling COVID and pregnancy test kits.
19. Here's the AP calling the whole thing a "conspiracy theory."
They explain "It was later determined that they were simply used to grow antibody cells to make test kits"
Pray do tell what test kits use Ebola, HIV and COVID, and 1000 transgenic mice?

20. The CDC's refusal to test and order to destroy pathogens found at this secret lab make it impossible to fully assess the potential risks that the community was exposed to and if there are other such facilities around the country.
This is beyond egregious and unconscionable.
21. Nary a day goes by without the CDC acting as the marketing division of Big Pharma selling a cornucopia of vaccines on social media. The CDC director finds plenty time to peddle vaccines as a preventative against catastrophe.
But why didn't they investigate actual catastrophe?

26. As you sit wide-eyed and slack-jawed contemplating the staggering implications of this story, ask yourself what sort depraved horror was being concocted at the Wuhan lab if this was stuff they brazenly did inside America, and how many more of these are yet undiscovered?
