Betsy McCaughey: China’s Deadly Lyings About COVID

The truth is the only thing not spreading virally in China. Chinese officials are spreading lies to cover up the massive COVID epidemic.

Worse, U.S. officials in public health let travelers from China fly into the USA for a week without testing, while other countries blocked infected travelers.

Aerial photos and videos taken in China show bodies stacked outside hospitals, crematoria, funeral homes full of patients and hospitals jammed into corridors. According to internal government documents, more than 50% of the population in Beijing and Sichuan are infected.

The Chinese government still claims that there was only one death from COVID in China on Dec. 31. It also claimed that there were no deaths on Dec. 30 or 29. This is in a country of 1.4 billion people.

China is withholding laboratory evidence regarding the strains that are sickening its people, which is even more dangerous. Are we referring to the same omicron strains that we are used to treating or something else? We all belong to the human race and share this information.

People in China are moving to the exits. Within 24 hours of the announcement by the government that travel restrictions that were in place for almost three decades would be lifted, outbound airline bookings nearly tripled.

It’s not surprising that the United States and other countries require all passengers flying from China — regardless of ethnicity — to pass a negative COVID screening before they board.

MSNBC’s TheReidOut Blog has slammed the COVID requirement. “jingoistic, reactionary and inhumane.”

MSNBC is in sync to the Chinese Communist Party. Chinese officials are attacking the test requirement. “discriminatory” Warning that it will discourage international cooperation What cooperation? China refuses to investigate the origin of the virus.

On Sunday, Mike Pompeo, ex-Secretary of State, declared that Xi Jinping, China’s President, would be in office in 2020 “sent people around the world who he knew were infected.” Now “he’s doing it again.” Pompeo said. “There is no reason we should allow the Chinese to do this again.”

Amen.

The cowardice of our nation’s public healthcare system is evident in the debate about whether to ban Chinese travelers.

Italy placed a negative COVID testing requirement on Dec. 28 after nearly half of passengers on two flights from China, Milan, were found to have been infected. It made its requirement immediately effective.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced their testing rule Dec. 28, but set the start date for Jan. 5. That’s crazy.

Officials stated that the test would be administered in the coming weeks. “help limit the number of infected people” Getting in from China. Why wait until January 5,? To make life easier on airlines.

American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines and United Airlines fly dozens of flights each week from China to American cities.

Lawrence Gostin is a public-health lawyer at the World Health Organization. He said that the distant date was impossible to predict. “could let in a flood of visitors who are not vetted.”

Thank the CDC bunglers if a deadly strain invades from China.

It is also concerning that many U.S. scientists oppose the most basic tool for infection control — segregating the sick from healthy. These scientists are infused with a globalist mentality, misplaced loyalties and argue that the U.S. should rely only on vaccination and allow everyone to enter.

That’s wrong. To protect its citizens, the U.S. must use every tool available — vaccines and travel controls. The latest COVID strain in the United States is XBB. It resists vaccines as well as boosters. It isn’t causing an increase in death, and it is mild.

But what if China has developed a resistance to vaccines? And Could this be a sign of serious illness?

Infections are rapidly spreading in China. Scientists predict that new variants of the disease will soon emerge. “The situation in China makes us very worried,” Wilbur Lam, Emory University scientist, said that. The world must be notified immediately new variants are discovered. China won’t cooperate.

This is not the right time for fuzzy globalist thinking and political correctness. Infected travelers from China must be prevented from entering the U.S.

The CDC needs to be more resilient. Our lives could be at-risk.
