The Chinese Communist regime is attempting to weaponize the Ebola virus, which has a mortality rate of up to 90%.
In December 2022, regulatory executive Jesalyn Harper discovered a garden hose connected to what appeared to be an abandoned building near Fresno, California. Upon entering the building in Reedley, she uncovered a secret biological weapons lab operated by Chinese citizen Jiabei Zhu, a Canadian fugitive who is also an executive of a state-owned enterprise connected to the Chinese military.
Harper found Chinese individuals in lab coats working inside the facility.
The lab was cultivating nearly a thousand genetically modified mice, “engineered to carry and spread the novel coronavirus.”
Inside, there were thousands of labeled, unlabeled, and coded potential pathogens, and a freezer labeled “Ebola” containing unmarked sealed bags for storing high-risk biological material.
The Chinese Communist Party seems particularly interested in the Ebola virus. A declassified report from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service revealed that Chinese-Canadian infectious disease scientist Dr. Qiu Xiangguo sent the genetic sequence of the Ebola virus to China without authorization while working at Canada’s only P4 lab in Winnipeg.
Dr. Qiu had also collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, sending different strains of the Ebola virus samples to the institute. She also sent samples of the Nipah virus, another deadly zoonotic pathogen, to the lab.
Dr. Qiu had researched methods to treat the Ebola virus and collaborated with the highest levels of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Medical Sciences Academy.
Dr. Qiu and her husband were escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July 2019, dismissed in January 2021, and subsequently returned to China where they worked under aliases. In March last year, documents from a Chinese pharmaceutical company indicated that Dr. Qiu was studying the Ebola virus.
The Ebola virus has a high fatality rate but has a relatively low rate of transmission between humans. Dr. Sean Lin, former head of the Viral Disease Pre-Experiment Lab at the Walter Reed Army Research Institute, told the Gatestone Institute, “Generally, the Ebola virus does not survive well outside the host, nor does it transmit through aerosols. Weaponizing the Ebola virus is not an easy task.” However, as he pointed out, the…
