Natalieâs Commentary:Â Well this is certainly new news, now almost at the end of April, 2022. The COVID-19 virus made its way around the world starting in October, 2019 or possibly even earlier.
This was in addition to the facts that Dr. Antony Fauci, Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases through gain of function research in partnership with EcoHealth Alliance working side by side with the P4 Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
And not China nor the World Health Organization nor the United States NIAID admitted to doing anything wrong when it came to premeditatedly genetically engineering COVID-19 at the P4 Wuhan Institute of Virology and creating the experimental genetic altering shots governments throughout the world, deceptively called vaccines made in less than 6 months with absolutely no gold standard trials to show the public to demonstrate these ‘vaccines’ were safe. They certainly werenât vaccines and they certainly werenât safe; killing, injuring, or debilitating healthy young people till this very day.
Now we find out, a legal document revealing the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) had the right to make partner with the U.S. Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and wipe all data arising from their collaboration.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) of cooperation, signed between the Wuhan lab and the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch, makes it obligatory for each of the two labs to delete âsecret filesâ or materials upon the request of the other party.
Why would you want to delete âsecret filesâ unless you’re hiding a very nefarious and clandestine collaboration that could kill millions and millions of people all over the world and if not kill them; leave them disabled, near death with all kinds of serious adverse effects and even cancers never seen before in young adults.
âThe party was/is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files, materials, and equipment without any backups,â states the MOU obtained by U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative research group focused on public health, through a freedom of information request.
It seems to me that when people started to understand that this virus came from the P4 Wuhan Institute of Virology that the U.S. Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch had answers to a lot of questions being asked of China at the very beginning of this virus pandemic.
The Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch must be shutdown and investigated for their collaboration in such a devastating attack on the worldâs national security. ~ Natalie
Wuhan Lab Allowed to Destroy âSecret Filesâ Under Its Partnership with US National Lab, Agreement Shows
From The Epoch Times By April 20, 2022 and Nats.News CommentaryÂ
The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has the right to make a partnering U.S. lab wipe all data arising from their collaborative work, a legal document reveals.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) of cooperation, signed between the Wuhan lab and the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch, makes it obligatory for each of the two labs to delete âsecret filesâ or materials upon the request of the other party. However, if the information is related to a massive crime non of the agreement stated in the MOU applies and is null and void. Â
âThe party is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files, materials, and equipment without any backups,â states the MOU obtained by U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative research group focused on public health, through a freedom of information request.
The MOU focused on promoting research and training cooperation between the two labs. It was signed in 2017 and stays in effect through this October. But the confidentiality terms would remain binding even after the agreementâs five-year-duration expires, the agreement states.
The document goes on to broadly define what materials are to be treated as âconfidential,â opening the door to potentially all documents and data from any collaboration being subject to a deletion request.
âAll cooperation and exchange documents, details and materials shall be treated as confidential info by the parties,â the MOU states.
The WIV has been at the center of the controversy due to growing speculation that the virus that causes COVID-19, which has now killed millions around the globe, may have leaked from the facility. The lab has denied these allegations but Beijing has blocked international investigators to data and records from the facility thus preventing any meaningful probe into the hypothesis.
WIV and the the Galveston National Laboratory formally declared their partnership the following year to âstreamline future scientific and operational collaborations on dangerous pathogens,â according to a joint announcement in the journal Science.
Experts said the MOU terms about data removal raise alarm bells and can potentially constitute a breach of the law.
âThe clause is quite frankly explosive,â Reuben Guttman, a partner at Guttman, Buschner & Brooks PLLC who focuses on ensuring the integrity of government programs, told Right to Know. âAnytime I see a public entity, I would be very concerned about destroying records.â
âYou canât just willy nilly say, âwell, you know, the Chinese can tell us when to destroy a document.â It doesnât work like that,â he added. âThere has to be a whole protocol.â
Christopher Smith, a spokesperson for University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), told the Right to Know that the lab was âbuilt by the National Institutes of Health to help combat global health threats.â
âAs a government-funded entity, UTMB is required to comply with applicable public information law obligations, including the preservation of all documentation of its research and findings.â
The Epoch Times has contacted the UTMB and the lab.
Under Scrutiny
The Galveston National Laboratory is one of two federally-funded university-based highest-level biosecurity labs in the United States. It began collaborating with the WIV in 2013, a cooperation that entails training WIV scientists and conducting joint research programs. The then-Galveston lab director James Le Duc, who retired last year, made multiple trips over the years to WIV.
The Galveston lab was also among the first in the world to receive samples of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly three weeks after Le Duc urged his Chinese counterparts to share the material.
The revelations contained in the 2017 MOU appear to contradict claims from WIV scientists that they would never scrub critical research information.
Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli, who heads the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the WIV, had characterized allegations that her lab would delete such data as âbaseless and appalling.â
âEven if we gave them all the records, they would still say we have hidden something or we have destroyed the evidence,â she said in a February interview with MIT Technology Review.
In September 2019, months before several of its researchers allegedly fell ill with COVID-like symptoms, the facility took its main database of virus samples offline.
The Wuhan labâs safety standards have also attracted scrutiny since the pandemic broke out from the city. Footage from 2017 showed that some researchers from the facility were feeding a bat while wearing only surgical gloves, and at least one researcher wore only a pair of regular glasses and a surgical mask when out collecting bat samples.
In April 2020, the Department of Education launched a probe into Galveston National Laboratoryâs ties with the Wuhan lab. The Epoch Times has contacted the department for comment.
That same month, Le Duc had asked Shi to review a draft briefing he prepared for the university and the Congressional staff investigating the issue.
âPlease review carefully and make any changes that you would like. I want this to be as accurate as possible and I certainly do not want to misrepresent any of your valuable contributions,â he wrote in an email to Shi that Right to Know obtained. Shi one day earlier declined to talk with Le Duc over the phone â[d]ue to the complicated situation,â but insisted that the virus âis not a leaky [sic] from our lab or any other labs.â
Smith, UTMBâs director of media relations, had told the investigative group that âthe information Dr. Le Duc wanted Dr. Shi to review was a description of her research on coronaviruses as he understood it.â
In corresponding with others, Le Duc nonetheless acknowledged that he considered a lab accident a possible source of the pandemic.
âIt is certainly possible that a lab accident was the source of the epidemic and I also agree that we canât trust the Chinese government,â he wrote on April 10, 2020, according to another email obtained by the group.
