“This is unprecedented. We’ve never had a biological lab in the United States busted before.”
That was Jesalyn Harper, code enforcement officer in Reedley, California, in an interview with Katy Grimes of the California Globe. Grimes sought out Harper after Reedley officials discovered a covert biological lab run by a shady Chinese company. What local officials found there was also unprecedented.
White mice had been genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid virus, the MidValley Times reported. The illegal lab harbored potentially infectious bacterial and viral agents including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5, rubella, samples of malaria and “thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.”
As Harper revealed, the original lab was in Fresno and operated by Universal Meditech, Inc. (UMI), licensed by the state of California on March 20, 2019. On March 24, 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development struck a tax credit allocation of $360,000 with UMI. CEO Zhaoyan Wang thanked Fresno’s Economic Development Corporation for “further assistance” with California tax credits.
UMI suffered a fire and faced bankruptcy, and in October, 2022, Prestige Biotech moved the operation to a warehouse in Reedley, a Fresno County town with a population of about 25,000.
Prestige Biotech owner Xiuqin Yao told Harper she lives in China and could only communicate by email. Harper was unable to establish who, exactly, owned the hundreds of mice found on the property. Not a single person would identify as the operator of the lab, and some claimed they were “friends of the owner.”
Grimes asked what kind of civil or criminal charges the lab operators faced. As Harper had also learned, privately funded research and development labs are not required to register with the government. That avoids the multiple permits required of those operating under state or federal grants. Someone in the state could have assisted the owners “to move from Fresno without licenses.”
Harper had also learned that mice are “unprotected” under the United States Department of Agriculture. According to the National Institutes of Health, mice and rats “have long served as the preferred species for biomedical research animal models.” Even so, the covert lab should have been busted long before.
According to court documents, 35 separate refrigerators and freezers contained biological material, blood, tissue, serum, bodily fluid samples, and medical waste. Two freezers were set at minus 80 and minus 60 degrees Celsius and 29 refrigerators at -20 C. According to court documents the low temperatures “raised concerns that infectious agents were stored on site.”
On July 5, officials removed from the property more than 2,000 gallons of “biological material and medical waste.” Chemicals discovered in the warehouse led the California Globe’s Thomas Buckley to brand the operation a “bio-meth lab.” Details have yet to emerge on the people who were working with the infectious agents, and what their intentions might have been.
At the outset of August, the Fresno Bee and Sacramento Bee had not covered the story. Gov. Gavin Newsom had issued no statement on the lab and neither had the California Department of Toxic Substances Control or the California Department of Public Health.
Reedley officials also brought in the federal Centers for Disease Control, but the CDC’s online newsroom shows nothing on the secret lab containing rubella, E. Coli, malaria samples and such. Reedley officials also brought in the FBI but at the end of July the bureau’s website reported nothing on the secret lab.
According to FBI director Christopher Wray, the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic was “most likely a potential lab incident” in Wuhan, China. The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) was supplied with a cargo of deadly viruses by Chinese national Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, who headed the special pathogens program at Canada’s National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg.
In 2017-18 alone. Dr. Qiu made at least five trips to the WIV, funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci to perform gain-of-function research that makes viruses more lethal and communicable. Sen. Rand Paul, who has issued an official criminal referral, against Fauci, charges that “viruses that in nature only infect animals were manipulated in the Wuhan lab to gain the function of infecting humans.”
Through a lab leak or deliberate vectoring, the Covid-19 virus made its way around the world, with no interference from CDCs vaunted Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS). In early 2020, EIS veteran Dr. Nancy Messonnier told reporters she was “not at liberty” to discuss the issue of travel from Wuhan. Who, exactly, was calling the shots Dr. Messonnier did not explain, and her telebriefings faithfully echoed China’s talking points.
Research with viruses and bacteria is risky, even in government BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs. As Rep. Bart Stupak noted in 2007, “No one in the federal government even knows for sure how many of these labs there are in the United States, much less what research they are doing or whether they are safe and secure.”
No safeguards of any sort existed at the covert laboratory in Reedley, California. Such a facility could easily speed the spread of Covid-19 or disease from other infectious agents. Embattled Americans have a right to know how many covert Chinese labs are out there and what, if anything, state and federal officials are going to do about it.

Thanks Lloyd!!!
Mtoler says
Great article! It definitely leaves one pondering the thought of how many of these labs are set up in the U.S. Thank you!
VietVetInOhio says
China has labs making deadly viruses that attack races other than Chinese. Is Tony Fauci financing them???
Johnnie the jew says
Fauci is a snot ball. Trumpie was so damned right calling this sleazy ball bag out
Ron says
This is what the CIA does in other countries. And now our lack system, defunding law enforcement and the corrupt left are destroying our existence
sumsrent says
Yes… America… the great so called land of Freedom…
Where Americans volunteer for deadly vaccines, with no recourse… or… are infected by lab created diseases that kill…
Yes… YOU are free to walk wherever they let you… and carry diseases to spread to others…
Ugly Sid says
Are you nursing grievances?
sumsrent says
Oh yes… most love the idea of higher taxes and higher food & fuel prices funding illegal immigrants… <<< That's great Freedom…
Meanwhile… let's fund the Neo-Nazi's in Ukraine…
Freedom nowadays means Americans are suckers for funding the Global Economy…
Ugly Sid says
Welcome to the club.
VietVetInOhio says
sumsrent is writing the truth.
Ugly Sid says
Yes… America…the great so called land of Democracy..
Where Democrats tamper with national elections and imprison those noticing.
How’s election integrity in Ohio, mister buckeye veteran.? I can’t do much about it from here.
geo.dawg says
Everyone must know…. that many more of us agree … but many today are afraid to post our thoughts.
I never imagined this….. in America. We must wake up. Or America will become a wasteland. It is firmly in the process of that devolution now.
RS says
The writting is on the wall. Theres more bio labs here in the U.S. and the intentions are not good. We should be alert to more pandemics. The last pandemic worked pretty well for all the oligarchs, and big box stores, while other small businesses shut down.
VietVetInOhio says
NEXT PLANDEMIC IS SET FOR 2024 TO THWART VOTERS FROM GOING TO THEIR POLLING PLACES.
RS says
Yes, More scare tactics and propaganda will be used to keep people from doing their constitutional duty to elect responsible-rational individuals for office.
Cat K says
It also killed so many people here in 2020& beyond. Innocent souls. Bad isolated deaths.
Many online enjoy pretending there were no deaths, no loss of loved ones. It makes their argument against lockdowns and vaccines catchier. But, these monsters did kill with an infectious bioweapon in an election year. And we miss our loved ones.
It’s realistic to add mass murder to the accusations of government overcontrol of busines and all of our freedoms.
Daniel says
How do you think the Russians feel? They found 28 of these labs in Ukraine. What were they there for?
VietVetInOhio says
TO FIND WAYS OF KILLING RUSSIANS, OF COURSE.
Dov Jacobs says
Notice the Imediate Silence???
Why is this not Big News,?
MSM Not reporting,???
This is a huge danger to America’s National Security; begs the Question;- Who benefits???
VietVetInOhio says
BIDEN AND HIS CHINESE FRIENDS.
Semaphore says
You’ve asked the best question in this thread – who benefits? We’ve heard for a long time about the Great Depopulation Agenda (Georgia guidestones, etc), the push to normalize child steralization through “transitioning”, our food processing plants being sabotaged, and the great “eat ze bugs” agenda. It scares me to think that there might be many more “labs” like this one busily preparing the next phase. God, I hope I’m wrong.
Kosh's Shadow says
I would be really shocked if this were the only lab in the US.
(I think I just ruined my social score with that comment)
P says
Has anyone notified the FBI?
Oh,… never mind.
Dr. Lenny says
Yes many times, as well as EPA,CDC,NIH,STATE AND FEDERAL PUBLIC HEALTH, LOCAL AS WELL TO INCLUDE US ARMY BIO-R&D AT DUGWAY, ABERDEEN, FORT DETRICK ALL ARE MILITARY CBW FACILITIES..
This was actually exposed last Oct-2022 again in December 2022, then some Covert activity was taking place and someone exposed what was really going on, as Federal, County, State and Military received a Public FOIA request. Fresno County Public Health in error responded case# 23-537 Fresno accidentally allowed records, tests results, photos, records, documents and 3 of the Chinese Scientist were able to return to China one is still missing in the USA ?
The Fed’s and State along with Military all disguised and lied to the locals , it was too late once the FOIA Documents got out, the case was sealed and closed due to National Security, too late the information is out and now being spread to many Universities, Media and others. What they are not telling you that over 5,000 lbs. of experiments, Petri-dishes, needles, cages of dead Rats, Frogs, Birds, Bats , blood, airborne pathogens , and so much more released in Canals, Wells, Dumps, on the side of Farm Roads and in many farms, the pathogens are out.
Cat K says
Thank you for this article!
Look, idk if it will help but shouldn’t we try to share this article ito additional media? Perhaps if the current government doesn’t care some other entities might be concerned? After all such lab contents don’t care about jurisdiction. once spread.
