On March 3, an illegal bio lab was discovered in a believed-to-be vacant building in Reedley, California in Fresno County. City code enforcement stumbled upon the building in December 2022 when they discovered a garden hose running up into the building through a hole in the wall. In March, they obtained a warrant to inspect the property, and in April, the Fresno County Department of Public Health ordered an inspection of the facility.
Investigators inspected the building that contained the lab in July and found a room used to make COVID-19 tests and pregnancy tests. They also found over 35 freezers and refrigeration units that contained “thousands of bodily fluids, serums, tissues, and other medical items.”
Over 900 mice were located at the facility. Court documents identify Wang Zhaolin as the Prestige representative onsite during the investigation. Zhaolin informed the investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Court documents describe the conditions under which the mice were housed as “inhumane.”
From May 2 through May 4, the CDC’s Division of Select Agents and Toxins inspected 850 I Street. Court documents confirm the CDC found potentially infectious agents at the location. These included both bacterial and viral agents, including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.

No, that’s only how long it took to release a news item. The investigation has been ongoing since day one.
China and our lite rulers are on the same side.
While research animal welfare laws generally do not apply to mice, legitimate researchers do make the effort to treat the animals humanely. Research involving mice go through the same ethical reviews as research involving other animals that are subject to animal welfare laws.
The fact that these mice were kept in inhumane conditions is further evidence that this lab was operating clandestinely, outside of legal parameters.
These people wouldn’t last 5 seconds in the private sector. Nothing but parasites.
Don’t believe all of the hype about CRISPR. We genetic engineers have tons of methods to alter DNA. CRISPR is just another tool in the genetic engineering toolbox. The discoverers/developers of this technique hyped it heavily in order to sell more CRISPR kits to researchers. It really is not as revolutionary as the hype would make it.
Excuse me, but what does this have to do with Fauci?
I can’t believe the hostility directed at this man just because he happens to be the expert that Trump selected to spearhead the pandemic response. I suppose directing hostility at him did accomplish one thing: it undermined Trump’s efforts to stop the pandemic and helped Biden win the election.
Was anybody caught there? Supposedly vacant??? Just right up the road from me. 20 miles. I think that place used to sell Chinese granite countertops years ago.
All very good points.
Because of the way mice are kept in research facilities, they are unlikely to escape. This was a clandestine lab, but still probably used the same kind of cages. Even if a mouse did escape, I doubt there would be much of an impact.
Mice are engineered to be infected with human Covid by replacing the mouse ACE-2 receptor gene with the human ACE-2 receptor gene. They are sold to researchers by biosupply companies.
The primary consequence of such mice escaping would be that they might interbreed with wild mice, resulting in a small number of wild mice that have a human ACE-2 receptor gene. I doubt that the human form of the gene would persist for very many generations.
You sound as though you have personal knowledge, so I thank you for the education.
I think the Prestige representative might have just been an expert consulted to identify the kind of mouse found in the facility. Since Prestige develops antibody based drugs and therefore uses mice, they probably have all of the equipment and reagents necessary to genotype mice.
It would be very surprising if a legitimate biotech company were to be involved with a clandestine lab. Such a scandal could kill a company.
It goes back further than that. A bunch of us were yelling at Congress in the 1990s about this issue and other acts of Chinese infiltration that compromised nation security.
Clinton was too busy sucking up illegal Chinese campaign contributions from China to care. He pushed for and received MFN status for them.
We started building the chains of our enslavement decades ago.
This is why the ChiComs send 10% to Traitorjoe!!
I do. PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology. Years spent in research and related work for the government. I know a thing or two about the research world.

I worked with a guy who had a job in the Fairfax area in the 1990s. He’d stop each morning at a coffee/donut shop...across from some modern business building (3-story type).
One day, he stops for coffee/donuts and the building is no longer there....so he asks the coffee shop lady what happened.
Week prior....one morning, she arrives and all-hell is breaking loose. Some security guard in the parking lot at 6 AM. Someone had broke in and released the ‘chimps’.
Two hours pass and some hazmat-type truck arrives....maybe a dozen guys and they put down all of the loose chimps. Couple of guys in suits arrive to assess things, and by late afternoon...some crew arrives to tear down the building. Takes the whole weekend but by Monday...there’s nothing there but gravel.
Nothing ever said...nothing in the newspapers.
Anyone’s guess if this was an official lab or a unofficial lab.
If this is true, every Foreign Chinese should be deported immediately.
I remember that... and the press bimbos and pretentious men who didn't give a damn about Clinton selling out to the Chinese. As if it never happened? Glad people like you remember. Ever wonder what liberals members of the press are getting in return for 'looking the other way'?
Congressman Dix actually used part of a series of articles I wrote on this topic as part of his talking points.
I helped write the report that FR sent to Congress.
I knew we were in the trenches back then.
Only Ed Timperlake and Bill Triplett (from the Washington Post, believe it or not) gave a damn.
Good point.
I vaguely recall reports of various outbreaks such as black plague over the years. Weren’t most of those in California?
