California officials dragged feet investigating China-linked biolab, documents suggest
[FOX] Suspicions were raised about the operations of a Chinese-linked biolab in central California far earlier than previously known, according to a review of hundreds of internal emails, documents and photographs obtained by Fox News.

Two California state agencies called on by the city of Fresno to intervene in the matter tell Fox they had no authority to get involved but the delay of local and state officials to take action in fall 2022 appears to have allowed lab workers to empty a warehouse full of dangerous biological agents, lab mice, chemicals and equipment.

A trove of emails obtained through a public records request with the city of Fresno showed one official had been so concerned by Universal Meditech Inc.'s operations he filed urgent pleas with California's environmental and toxic substance agencies for assistance in possibly shutting down the biolab before it could relocate.

When no one stepped up to stop them, UMI quietly moved last year into a previously vacant warehouse in Reedley about 20 miles away. Reedley officials were unaware of the move. Once discovered, the unpermitted and unlicensed lab containing numerous deadly infectious agents wasn't shut down until March of this year.

#2 They're not hiding the biolab.
They're hiding their bribes and payoffs.

#3 /\ My guess as well Ed. Shocking that this still hasn't passed through the memory hole portal. Could there be Biden Crime Family (BCF) connection

#4 Dig a hole in the 'wrong' place without approval from the Coastal Commission and they'll be visiting you tomorrow.

#5 The new media keeps stories like this alive where otherwise this tale would have asphyxiated with no updates.
