2. OK, here goes, via an anonymous source (as usual)
CCDC AND TESTING KITS
"The Chinese CDC infrastructure was keen to prey on outbreaks for profit, rather than containing them which cost us all a pandemic"
3. From an online conference attended by CCDC George Gao Fu, we can see his Powerpoint slide titled 'milestone' - a timeline chart from Dec 31st to Jan 29th.
In this slide by CCDC George Gao Fu, it mentions the commercial testing kits, BEFORE releasing the genome.
4. Testing Kit companies are the “white gloves” of the CDC, from which they make money during disease outbreaks. Testing Kit companies were set up by previous CDC lab technicians and the wife of the Deputy Dean of the School of Public Health at Fudan University in Shanghai.
5. One of the testing kit companies is called "Biogerm Medical" Zhao bai hui and husband (who worked in Shanghai customs in the cosmetic products inspection section) operates an online cosmetic shop with monthly revenue of five million for over 15 years: shop33364559.taobao.com
6. The testing kit scandal was previously reported on by AP News based on leaked documents, so you do need to read that great article for background context, otherwise what I am about to tell you now will make little sense. apnews.com/article/china-…
7. From the AP Leak
China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention very quickly gave test kit designs and distribution rights exclusively to three then-obscure Shanghai companies with which CDC officials had personal and obviously financial connections.
8. The three Shanghai companies paid China CDC for the information & distribution rights of testing kits.
GeneoDx Biotech
Huirui Biotechnology
BioGerm Medical Technology
The price?
One million RMB ($146,600) each, the sources said
9. In the meantime, the CDC and its parent agency, the National Health Commission, tried to prevent other scientists and organizations from testing for the virus with their own homemade kits.
10. In a departure from past practice for at least two epidemics, the NHC told Wuhan hospitals to send virus samples — from which tests can be developed — only to central labs under its authority.
11. It also made testing requirements to confirm coronavirus cases much more complicated & endorsed only (faulty) test kits made by the 3 Shanghai companies.
This contributed to not a single new case being reported by China between Jan. 5 & 17, even though hundreds were infected.
12. The apparent lull in cases meant officials were slow to take early actions such as warning the public, barring large gatherings and curbing travel. One study estimates that intervention two weeks earlier could have reduced the number of cases by 86 percent,
13. When tests from the three companies arrived, many didn’t work properly, turning out inconclusive results or false negatives. Technicians were hesitant to use test kits that would later prove more accurate from more established companies, because the CDC did not endorse them.
14. With few and faulty kits, only one in 19 infected people in Wuhan was tested and found positive as of Jan. 31, according to an estimate by Imperial College London. Others without tests or with false negatives were sent back home, where they could spread the virus.
15. Many Chinese People died due to this test kit corruption
"There were very, very few tests, basically none….
if you couldn’t prove you were positive, you couldn’t get admitted to a hospital,”
16. The three Shanghai Test Kit Companies 1. GeneoDx 2. BioGerm 3. Huirui
17. None of the first three diagnostics companies tapped to make test kits for the biggest pandemic in a century were well-known in the industry. For one engineer from a Wuhan-based diagnostics firm, the Shanghai competitors popped out of nowhere “like bamboo shoots”
18. But what the companies lacked in resources or experience, they made up for in connections....
Documents obtained by AP showed extensive ties between the three companies and top China CDC researchers in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan.
19. Biogerm
"China CDC staff were invited to join a BioGerm group on WeChat, a Chinese messaging application, which CEO Zhao later used to sell coronavirus test kits, according to a CDC employee"
29. That thread with the above tweets is compiled here, so worth having a look before we return to the texting kit corruption and other fraudulent actions by Chinese CDC Scientists connected to the testing kit companies. threader.app/thread/1276896…
and archive.vn/UqOJ7
30. Right to the Top of the Stinking Pile of Manure
31. Guess What, the Test Kits were Crap too!
32. Government Warning! Governments Kill!
The Faulty Test Kits which showed extremely high false negative results, thus condemning countless Chinese to death at the beginning of the outbreak, were endorsed by the State and the CDC.
33. Profits made & money counted over dead bodies
"The same pandemic that killed people brought the Shanghai test kit companies and related scientists fame and fortune"
34. Part 2: The Genome Publication Delay
The Chinese government finally made its genomes public on Jan. 12, a day after another team published one without authorization. That opened the door for more companies to make their own test kits.
35. Unmasking a "Hero"
Professor Yong Zhong Zhen
"The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global disaster—but it could have been much worse. The saving grace was Zhang Yongzhen, who led a team that published the first SARS-CoV-2 genome just days after the first cluster of cases emerged"
36. The Professor's Propaganda Campaign
"Zhang team’s unprecedented speed was made possible by the extraordinary disease-monitoring network they had built to detect emerging flu strains and coronaviruses"
37. The Reality and the Connections
Li Xioadan, The Lab Director of one of the 3 Chosen Testing Kit Companies, Shanghai Biogerm with Professor Zhang Yong Zhen from the Institute of Infectious Diseases.
38. Li Xiaodan and Professor Zhong Yong Zhen
A former lab technician in China CDC's National Influenza Center was a key member of Shanghai Biogerm.
She got scared because media reported on her ties with Professor Zhong Yong Zhen and the CCDC, fleeing Shanghai to work in Beijing.
39. Follow The Money to "The Chief"
Shanghai Biogerm is of course one of the "white gloves" of the SHPHC BSL-3 lab and Shanghai CDC.
Contracts & Fat Payments have been traced back to 2012
SHPHC = Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Fudan University
40. The First Paper - 19 authors
A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
41. Releasing the Genome 1. Yong-Zhen Zhang's team submitted the genome to Genbank on 5th Jan 2020, setting an embargo date for July 2020 2. They had no intention to release it in the first place as their only purpose was to get an accession number for Nature submission.
42. Yong-Zhen Zhang released the the genome only AFTER he finished negotiating a secret validation which secured exclusive rights for three Shanghai testing kit companies.
43. What a Coincidence!
It turns out that every CCDC author listed as authors of the first SARS-COV-2 genomes submitted to GISAID ON 12th January, has a company to profit from the pandemic.
44. Surprise, Surprise!
The wife of the Deputy Dean of Fudan University is the head of the microbiology lab of Shanghai CDC.
Three founders of Shanghai Biogerm all worked for her.
45. More to Follow!
