China has become a monstrous petri dish, and America is now likely to become infected by what they are growing – again. It is no longer just COVID-19 and its variants that are sickening the Chinese people. Another nasty bug has appeared called the Nipah virus, which the World Health Organization (WHO) reports can be up to 70% fatal. And another virus, an ebola-like hemorrhagic fever, which has a 50% fatality rate, is also now spreading rapidly in northern China. If released into the world at large, these viruses have the capacity to kill billions of people. And with the 2022 Olympics only weeks away, it’s time we took notice.

The Chinese people are still fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is locking down entire cities in order to prevent its spread. Major cities such as Xi’an (population: 5.4 million), where both Hemorrhagic fever and COVID have been reported to be spreading rapidly;  Anyang (population: 5 million); and Tianjin (population: 13.6 million), which is only 67 miles from Beijing, are only a few of the Chinese cities now under total lockdown orders. In major cities like these, the draconian lockdowns prohibit the residents from leaving their homes, sometimes for weeks at a time, preventing them from buying food or medicine.

According to reports coming from secret sources in China, more than 150 million people in some of China’s largest cities are starving to death because they have run out of food and they cannot leave their homes to buy more. In some cases, the houses are actually sealed with the residents inside, and in others, midnight raids force the residents to go to government-run isolation camps, where the accommodations are sparse and uncomfortable.

The CCP is once again vastly undercounting the number of casualties from these viruses, and suppressing news of these deadly new outbreaks, even as it takes drastic measures to stop the viruses it cannot control. Yet, it invites the Olympic athletes to come to Beijing, assuring them and the rest of the world that the Chinese government will keep them safe. 

The 2022 Winter Olympics, which are scheduled to open in Beijing on February 4, is no place for an international gathering of any kind this year. And when we send our athletes there, we are playing Russian roulette with the lives of millions of Americans. Any combination of these three deadly viruses could bring a new pandemic to the world, far more deadly than anything we saw in 2020.

What does this mean for the upcoming 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing? 

According to the South China Morning Post, now a voice of the CCP, [there will be] “no transmission between those inside and outside of their ‘closed-loop system’ that they say will protect the Olympians. China claims that it will be sealing off the Games inside a “giant bubble,” which, they say, will stretch nearly 120 miles around the grounds of the 2022 Games. They say it is impenetrable and will protect the thousands of people participating in the games. 

But there is no guarantee that it will work, or that our athletes will not be exposed and bring one or more of these highly contagious viruses back home with them. When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Director Christophe Dubi was asked whether there was a contingency plan for their “Bubble,” in case it failed, he declined to answer. In other words, there is no ‘Plan B.’ And now, only days before the 2022 Olympics are slated to begin; China is on high alert as the viruses continue to spread.

So What Can We Expect from the Games?

Since we know that all their explanations about how safe the 2022 Winter Games are going to be⏤are pure CCP propaganda, the choice for America is clear. COVID-19 and all its variants, combined with the Nipah virus, and the hemorrhagic fever virus, are now raging through China. The Chinese government is reportedly in a panic because it has been unable to stop any of them.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the CCP has been consistently under-reporting the number of sick and dead from the virus. As a result, China’s 1.4 billion people have been left off the global count of casualties. China’s lack of transparency gives us good reason to worry, not only about the safety of our athletes at the Olympic Games, but also at the colossal risk of their bringing back to the United States far more than just gold and silver medals. They may well trigger a new and more terrible pandemic – the deadly Nipah virus and/or hemorrhagic fever. And if we thought that two years of COVID-19 was bad, it is impossible to imagine what a new and much more deadly pandemic will do to life as we know it in America. 

It is time, therefore, before there is no more time left, for President Biden to order all of our Olympic participants to remain in the U.S. and not to attend the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. 

We cannot depend on the Chinese government to protect our athletes in Beijing or to tell the truth about the extent of the epidemics spreading through their own country. Therefore, we should be doing everything possible to protect our citizens at home by not allowing our athletes to go to this year’s Olympic Games and risk bringing back a new and even more terrible pandemic than we had before. It’s not complicated. It’s just common sense. And it is essential to the future of our country. Should we send our athletes to Beijing? Hell No!!
