Newsom Funded Chinese COVID Biolab in California Known To Biden’s FDA

The discovery last month of a Chinese COVID biolab in California shocked the nation, but likely came as no surprise to the state’s Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom.

He helped fund it.

The now-notorious secret facility, which contained a massive stockpile of “infectious agents,” including coronavirus, and nearly a thousand dead lab mice and vials of unidentified biological fluids, also likely came as no surprise to the Biden administration.

The FDA last year issued a recall warning for nearly 54,000 COVID rapid tests manufactured by the company that owned the lab.

Fresno County officials discovered the “unlicensed laboratory” in a warehouse owned by Prestige Biotech, which has ties to multiple Chinese pharmaceutical firms and a president who lives in China and can only be reached by email.

The company’s CCP links extend to Barry Zhang, who is listed as Prestige BioTech’s registered agent by the Nevada secretary of state. Zhang reportedly was a leader of the Chinese-American Society of CPAs and its work with China’s United Front espionage and propaganda network.

The founder of the law firm representing Prestige BioTech, Michael M Lin, is reportedly “a regular sponsor of CCP’s United Front events in Nevada.”

Prestige Biotech took over the lab from Universal Meditech, after that company went bankrupt following a series of fires. Universal Meditech, a company that also has strong CCP ties, received nearly $400,000 in tax credits from Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development.

If you've been following the story of the illegal California lab run by a Chinese biotech firm, Prestige Biotech, discovered in Reedley, California...it gets even more interesting.

Before going bankrupt, Universal Meditech was awarded its business license from the Newsom administration, “exactly one year to the day before Gov. Gavin Newsom’s State of Emergency Order locking down the entire state over the COVID-19 virus.”

Universal Meditech continued operations under its new owner Prestige Biotech, which didn’t have a state business license and was only outed when someone noticed a garden hose illegally attached to the bio-lab’s building.

The nearly 1,000 dead mice found at the Prestige Biotech lab, “were genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid-19 virus,” Wang Zhaolin, a spokesman for Prestige Biotech, told the San Joaquin Valley Sun.

“This is an unusual situation,” said Nicole Zieba, a city official with the town of Reedley, where the lab was found.

I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Zieba told local news outlet KTLA. “There was a special room that was built housing about 1,000 white lab mice.”

Those would be the same lab mice that “were genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid-19 virus” housed in a secret warehouse owned by reported CCP United Front agents. The same company that manufactured 54,000 FDA-flagged COVID rapid tests and received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Newsom’s office a year before he put California on a lockdown enforced by his and the Biden administration’s tyrannical mandates.

“Allowing a Chinese company to practice gain-of-function research on our shores is like inviting biological warfare into our backyard,” said Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee.

Based on legal filings, business reports and court documents, it appears that the CCP’s United Front accepted the invitation. Meanwhile, with his entourage of CCP connections funded by his administration in line, Newsom reportedly is raising millions to back a potential 2024 presidential run, even as he continues to publicly back Biden.

Can’t anyone be held accountable for anything?

No doubt that the FBI is already at work to make this go away.

What I am interested in knowing is how much money did this organization get from the State of California and for what?

it's looking like the mice were in bad shape because the company was tipped off that a raid was immanent and the leaders took off - probably back to China. The rest of the crew working there were allowed to leave without criminal processing and will probably never be seen or heard from again. Like many in California, they were probably working under one or more false identities.

Last I heard, they never arrived.

A China-based firm scored a $1B N95 mask contract with California. A document trove shows how.

Natalie Winters wrote an article about it. I think it is on Warroom.org.

From the article:

The discovery last month of a Chinese COVID biolab in California shocked the nation

Who is this writer trying to kid? The vast majority of people in this country are clueless about this lab. And even if the discovery of this lab was properly reported, most people would not care.

Wait until these labs start releasing bio agents that start being released in California.

What happens when you mix mice DNA CoVID spikes with human DNA with spikes from shedding from the genetic treatment inoculation (clot-shot)?
