NIH Admits It “Suppressed” Wuhan Lab Genetic Data, But Disputes Watchdog’s “Deleted” Label
A National Institutes for Health (NIH) spokesperson is disputing a non-profit watchdog group’s claim that the agency “deleted” genetic sequencing data on Covid-19 from a Chinese lab, but the same official acknowledged the data was “suppressed.”
Sequence data was removed from public access…
“The headline says the sequences were deleted which is inaccurate. They were not deleted. This is a really important point, and I’ve highlighted what did happen from what we provided to you earlier this week,”
“’In June 2020, in response to a request by the same [Wuhan] researcher, National Center for Biotechnology [NCBI] gave the sequence data the status of ‘withdrawn,’ which removes sequencing data from all public means of access but does not delete them. “NCBI subsequently reassigned the status of the sequence data to ‘suppressed,’ which means that sequence data are removed from the search process but can be directly found by accession number. This action to reassign the data was identified as part of NLM’s ongoing review into the matter. We are working to make more information available,” the spokesperson said.
DOES IT LOOK LIKE CORRUPTION, ACT LIKE CORRUPTION AND SMELL LIKE CORRUPTION ……. INFO WASN’T DELETED…. JUST HIDDEN SO THAT ON ONE COULD SEE IT!
