Wuhan Epidemiological Laboratory, China. At least three researchers at the Chinese laboratory in Wuhan simultaneously fell ill with symptoms similar to those of COVID-19. Furthermore, on June 18, 2021, an American researcher (Jesse D. Bloom of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle) found 13 of the 241 genetic sequences of the coronavirus in Google Cloud, which had mysteriously disappeared from servers. These 241 sequences had been collected in 2019 by Chinese scientists, including Aisi Fu of Wuhan’s Renmin Hospital, and then archived on an American server. From there, they disappeared. However, some of them had been automatically saved to Google Cloud. Why was that precious data deleted, and by whom? Archive management rules stipulate that whoever stored the data can, of course, delete it. An investigation ordered by President Biden in the summer of 2021 will not lead to definitive conclusions regarding the virus’s animal or artificial (accidental release) origin. In three years, the pandemic will cause 7 million confirmed deaths, and an estimated three times that number, infecting over 700 million people.
