Suspicions were raised about the operations of a Chinese-linked biolab in central California far earlier than previously known, according to a review of hundreds of internal emails, documents and photographs obtained by Fox News.

Two California state agencies called on by the city of Fresno to intervene in the matter tell Fox they had no authority to get involved but the delay of local and state officials to take action in fall 2022 appears to have allowed lab workers to empty a warehouse full of dangerous biological agents, lab mice, chemicals and equipment.

A trove of emails obtained through a public records request with the city of Fresno showed one official had been so concerned by Universal Meditech Inc.'s operations he filed urgent pleas with California's environmental and toxic substance agencies for assistance in possibly shutting down the biolab before it could relocate.

When no one stepped up to stop them, UMI quietly moved last year into a previously vacant warehouse in Reedley about 20 miles away. Reedley officials were unaware of the move. Once discovered, the unpermitted and unlicensed lab containing numerous deadly infectious agents wasn't shut down until March of this year.

That discovery and subsequent media attention has prompted numerous investigations and raised questions over UMI's true intentions. The company said it was making pregnancy and COVID-19 tests but local officials then and now aren't clear on why UMI also possessed hundreds of lab mice and cultures of malaria, dengue fever, HIV and tuberculosis.

"Something is off here," then-Fresno Fire Chief Kerri Donis said in an email in August 2022 about the leased UMI warehouse on Fortune Avenue. Two years earlier, 39 Fresno firefighters responded to an overnight fire at a workstation in the warehouse. Follow-up investigations concluded there were numerous safety violations, including...

If the US were a corporation, the CEO and entire governing board would be fired, all the middle managers would be swapped out, and there would be a serious attempt at rebranding.

If the US were a corporation, the CEO, entire governing board, and all the middle managers would have CASHED IN their “options,” then been fired after being paid their Golden Parachutes, THEN the company would be declared bankrupt and CLOSED.

We are only at the CASH IN THEIR OPTIONS phase. THEY are still CASHING IN!!!!

Odds are that there are many more of these operations throughout the US.

“...appears to have allowed lab workers to empty a warehouse full of dangerous biological agents, lab mice, chemicals and equipment.”

This equipage was moved to another warehouse in “Reedley”. It is unclear from the journalism, but Has the material been secured YET, or do the operators get warned so they can relocate every time?

China is literally falling apart, and we're not talking about the economy here. Buildings in China are collapsing, and the Chinese Communist Party knows it's become a liability that could threaten its rule. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at what happens when Chinese developers cut corners on materials, why this keeps happening, and why this is a problem that affects all levels of society.

These secret Chinese Bio-Labs can be expected to be in full operation in every state on that list Mike Pompeo has of all the US Governors deemed “friendly’ by China.

Why won’t we even look for them?

Why?

Too embarrassed about our 46 funded Bio-Labs in Ukraine?
