Top Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are calling on U.S. health authorities to look into the “suspicious” clusters of viral infections and reports of pneumonia among children in China, warning that it would be an abdication of their duty if they were to allow the regime in Beijing to “repeat its misdeeds from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In a Nov. 29 letter addressed to Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) Director Dr. Mandy Cohen, the lawmakers underscored the Chinese regime’s repeated efforts to suppress information about the burgeoning COVID-19 crisis when it began to spread in China about four years ago. Such actions by China have drawn criticism from international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), which, the lawmakers noted, “has long been criticized for being overly accommodating to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
