American Pharmaceutical Giants Conducted Medical Experiments with the Chinese Military: House Report

Congressional investigators believe American pharmaceutical companies have collaborated with the People's Liberation Army on medical experiments

A new report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has revealed that American pharmaceutical companies have been conducting medical experiments in cooperation with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

“As you know, the United States is engaged in a fierce competition with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in biotechnology. This competition will not only have implications for our national and economic security, but also for the future of healthcare and the security of American medical data,” said the CCP committee in its letter.

The House investigators found reason to believe U.S. biopharmaceutical companies have been collaborating with the CCP for more than a decade, including on experiments that could have included unwilling human subjects.

The report is just the latest investigation from China hawks in the House of Representatives into the myriad ways the CCP has become intertwined with major American corporations and government agencies, even as a bipartisan consensus has emerged that China is actively hostile toward the U.S.

The committee warned that, by conducting medical tests in conjunction with the PLA, biopharmaceutical companies are potentially allowing sensitive information into the hands of a foreign adversary.

Republican investigators also raised concerns about the reliability of information collected by PLA-affiliated tests, citing a previous decision by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reject proposed oncology treatments because the clinical tests backing them up were conducted exclusively in China, and the FDA believed that Chinese trial data is unreliable.

Most concerningly, the committee found that American companies were conducting tests inside the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), a region in China where it is widely believed that the CCP has engaged in systemic human rights abuses about the minority Muslim population.

According to the committee, it is very possible that subjects in the medical tests are Uyghurs forced to become test subjects against their will, and U.S. companies have no way of verifying whether their trials are being conducted with willing participants.

“As we know, there is simply no ability for firms to conduct due diligence to ensure that clinical trials done in XUAR are voluntary. Given this, we believe that U.S. biopharmaceutical entities could be unintentionally profiting from the data derived from clinical trials during which the CCP forced victim patients to participate,” said the committee.

The letter is the result of a bipartisan agreement and is penned by Committee Chair Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich), Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill), Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif), and Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.), who concluded the missive by asking FDA Commissioner Robert Califf to use his agency to subject clinical trials conducted in China to greater scrutiny.

Interestingly, the report, which suggests that hundreds of PLA-affiliated tests have taken place over the past ten years, does not mention any specific companies involved in the tests.

An analysis of the sources cited in the article reveals that Eli Lilly and Company, along with Pfizer, which was responsible for a prominent COVID mRNA shot, have worked with the PLA, although there are likely numerous other companies involved in similar activities.

Pharmaceutical advertising needs to be outlawed.
Nothing will be done on this either. Too many politicians and newsrooms take too much money from big pharma.

We donโ€™t want to nuke them .
That would break all the stuff we want to conquer .
All we need to do is infect them with Covid 58
After they are gone we can incinerate the bodies and keep their stuff .
Bioweapons are the way to go
The Americans will pay us to make them and we can use them on them .
No nukes !
