China Is in Charge of the COVID Coverup By Lloyd Billingsley for American Greatness
Legal agreement allows Wuhan to destroy documents at a University of Texas lab funded by Anthony Fauci’s NIAID.
A 2017 memorandum of understanding between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston gives the Chinese government-owned biological research lab the right to demand the U.S. taxpayer-funded facility destroy documents, a new report reveals.
According to the MOU: “All cooperation and exchanges documents, data, details and materials shall be treated as confidential by the parties. . . The confidentiality obligation shall be obligatory through the duration of this MoU and after it has been terminated. The party is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files materials without any backups.” (emphasis added).

The document was signed by UTMB investigator James W. LeDuc, WIV coordinator Zhiming Yuan, and UTMB senior vice president and general counsel Carolee A. King, an expert in “health care and regulatory law, hospital compliance, fraud and abuse, medical liability, physician practice and clinical research.”
U.S. Right to Know, which obtained the memorandum, headlined its story “Wuhan lab can delete data in ‘explosive’ legal agreement with U.S. lab.”
Legal observers had never seen anything quite like it.
“Anytime I see a public entity, I would be very concerned about destroying records,” attorney Reuben Guttman told Right to Know’s Emily Kopp. The destruction clause, Guttman said, “is quite frankly explosive.”
The University of Texas is a public institution receiving federal funds, and the lab was established by the National Institutes of Health. Both are subject to state and federal disclosure laws.
As Kopp noted, the UT Galveston lab in 2009 lobbied the Texas legislature unsuccessfully for an exemption to the Texas Public Information Act to prevent records from being released to transparency and biosafety advocate Edward Hammond. As Kopp explains, the destruction clause “could also risk obstructing congressional investigations into the COVID-19 pandemic.”
