A National Institutes for Health (NIH) spokesperson is disputing a nonprofit watchdog group’s claim that the agency “deleted” genetic sequencing data on the CCP virus from a Chinese lab, but the same official acknowledged the data was “suppressed.”
“The headline says the sequences were deleted which is inaccurate. They were not deleted. This is a really important point, and I’ve highlighted what did happen from what we provided to you earlier this week,” NIH Media Branch Chief Amanda Fine told The Epoch Times in a March 31 email.
Fine was referring to a March 29 Epoch Times story headlined “NIH Deleted Info Received From Wuhan Lab on CCP Virus Genetic Sequencing, Watchdog’s FOIA Finds.” The information Fine referenced as having been provided to The Epoch Times by NIH earlier in the week was included in the published story:
“’In June 2020, in response to a request by the same [Wuhan] researcher, National Center for Biotechnology [NCBI] gave the sequence data the status of “withdrawn,” which removes sequencing data from all public means of access but does not delete them.
“‘NCBI subsequently reassigned the status of the sequence data to “suppressed,” which means that sequence data are removed from the search process but can be directly found by accession number. This action to reassign the data was identified as part of NLM’s ongoing review into the matter. We are working to make more information available,’ the spokesperson said.”
The biotechnology center, which is part of the institute’s National Library of Medicine (NLM), is the U.S. component of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration.

They were hiding data from people who were looking for it.
Yup - and is is big deal.
Why would they do that?
To hide the engineered components?
To hide the sequence that moderna patented, before the outbreak?
I think I’m going to use this excuse the next time the IRS contacts me.
IRS agent: “Mr. Leaning Right, you have not filed tax returns for eight years! What is going on here.?”
Me: “It’s no big deal. I just suppressed my returns.”
IRS agent: “Oh, I see. No problem. Sorry to have bothered you.”
It all depends on what the meaning of is, is.
“Science” is what happens when you hide all of the results that get in the way of your preconceived conclusion. Or something.
I humbly request that the NIH be renamed.
National Institute of Propaganda and Health
NIPH, might as well have it in the name.
While slow, I am grateful to those who pursue the truth. It takes courage in these days where searching for the truth can get your whacked or ruined.
Covering up the fact that Wuhan created a deadly virus that killed millions.
