Who was Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor who warned about the coronavirus?
Fox News ^ | 3/20/20 | Brie Stimson

Dr. Li Wenliang was a 34-year-old ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital in China's Hubei Province who was reprimanded by the Chinese government and later died of coronavirus after he warned others about the disease in late December.

The Chinese government exonerated Li and offered a “solemn apology” to his family in mid-March, more than a month after he died from the virus in early February.

China exonerates doctor reprimanded for warning of virus

A week after his death, Li's mother Lu Shuyun demanded an explanation from the police about his treatment, saying in an online video that her son was "summoned by the Wuhan Police Bureau" and forced to sign an "admonishment notice" for allegedly spreading inaccurate information about the outbreak. "We won’t give up if they don’t give us an explanation," she said at the time.

He was reportedly then summoned to the Public Security Bureau where he was forced to sign a letter stating that he made false comments about the virus.

Li was among eight doctors reprimanded by Chinese police late last year for warning people on social media about the threat of the virus.

Along with the apology in March, Chinese officials said two police officers had been issued “disciplinary punishments" for the original handling of the matter.

Coronavirus soon spread through Wuhan, leading to overwhelmed hospitals and widespread shutdowns in the area in January until it spread throughout the country and eventually across the globe, with nearly 250,000 cases and more than 10,000 deaths by March 20.

He was a hero who was “repressed” by the Chinese fascist regime for putting the welfare of the people over that of the Party.

Somebody needs to do a cartoon of Dr. Li standing alone with his hands raised, trying to stop a tank driven by Winnie the Pooh.

The current numbers out of China, showing few new cases and few deaths, suggest one of two things. Either they are fudging numbers, or, they bioengineered this virus - and thus have a predesigned way to combat it.

Yes, there is a third possibility, that this virus is just naturally emergent and the government of China is so efficient and effective such that they’ve accomplished what modern Western countries haven’t been able to achieve so far - rapid control of the virus.

I personally highly doubt the third possibility.

More likely a bullet to the back of the head, and an explanation that he succumbed to the virus.

I’ll bet his body was cremated tout suite.

How about identifying which Chicoms officials harassed Dr. Li, and parading them around town and have them recant their bourgeois ways?

In the last couple months it seems almost 15 million Chinese mobile phone accounts have been cancelled.

Not many 34 year old people die from the Wuhan Flu. I believe that his virus was tainted with lead, 30 caliber lead.

Where was our CIA? Aren’t they monitoring Chinese social media? Or were they too busy looking for “Russians”?

The entire world has Chinese communism to thank for this pandemic.

HERO DOCTOR!

(Rant:On)

From what I have read , there were also actual heroic JOURNALISTS in China , who had tried to warn people what was happening, who are now missing.

Message To our so called MSM:

DO NOT EVER CALL YOURSELVES JOURNALISTS.

You are nothing of the sort.

At best you are readers, who read whatever you are TOLD to.

At worst you may be willing accomplices (possibly even paid accomplices?), in the alleged criminality of a political party, covering up for them, deceiving the public, stirring up fear and panic-All of which may have helped them, (corrupt politicians), to rip off Americans, (to the point of financial ruin for some), while the crooks enriched themselves.

Rumor has it, that his seemingly deliberate deception of the American people, by the media, might even have allowed EVIL thugs to commit atrocities, possibly including atrocities against CHILDREN, to go on.

I pray to God, that if these things are true, that they be revealed to the public, and that you so called "journalists" are made to answer for your apparently willful misdirects, omission and out-right lies to the people.

(Rant:Off)

May Dr. Li Wenliang RIP.

Dr. Li Wenliang

And all this time I thought it was Dr. Sum Ting Wong.

It's a good bet his death was augmented by a injection of lead to the back of his head.

The only good thing the Chicom bastards did was to not send his family the bill for the bullet, as they usually do.

We don't need them people, nor their products!

Wake up people!

Lets call it the Li Wenliang Virus to honor the doctor who took a stand against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

You’re missing one possibility: It is engineered but hadn’t finished development yet, it was an unintentional release, and it’s not actually a very good bio weapon - because they didn’t finish it. The reactions of the Chinese government at the time, at least to me, suggest this could be the case.

They probably can’t - the disciplinary punishments mentioned further on in the article were probably 9mm or 5.8mm and issued directly to the back of the head.

"You’re missing one possibility: It is engineered but hadn’t finished development yet, it was an unintentional release"

That possibility was included in the bioweapon category. Actually, I think accidental release, or premature release, is a good possibility - particularly given the Chinese government's response - as you point out. They reacted as though they knew very well what this virus is capable of, whereas the rest of the world has kept hoping that it wasn't as bad as it is. This is very, very concerning. Personally, I think the Chinese government is willing to do very horrible things in order to achieve their goal of becoming the primary power in the world.
