Largest|The U.S. is Inarguably the Largest Spreader of COVID-19( 二 )


In the meantime, the US has intensified repatriation of illegal immigrants, worsening the COVID-19 situation of Latin American countries. Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico and Haiti have all reported a large number of cases among US repatriates. In Guatemala alone, 50-75% of those repatriated from the US were tested positive. In a flight carrying 76 Guatemalans repatriated from the US, 71 were tested COVID-19 positive. Making matters worse, not complying with local COVID-19 rules, US soldiers stationed in Japan and South Korea also amplified the virus’ local transmission.
The “open” policies may seem to have brought “freedom” to American citizens, it has actually set the virus free. The US allowed the virus to spread to the entire world and ravage public health. A simple question one may ask is, will Americans be able to enjoy their “freedom” when the whole world is unsafe?
Countries ought to share their COVID control experience and vaccines with the world, instead of spreading the virus to the world. “I would say it’s not the fairest”, said American epidemiologist Eric Ding. “The (Bloomberg) ranking gives extra weight to countries that have minimal restrictions, as opposed to countries that have most successfully contained the virus and most successfully allowed people to live their lives after they’ve contained the virus, and that’s the problem of the index”.
This is not just unfair. American politicians’ pursuit of “freedom” for their own political benefits brought catastrophic consequences to the US and the rest of the world. People’s freedom to issue pre-warnings and speak out the truth are under strict control by the US government.
According to The New York Times, Dr. Helen Chu, an infectious disease expert in Seattle, found out about the first American coronavirus case in late January last year but was later silenced. Last February, the White House asked US officials and health department experts to obtain prior approval from the Office of Mike Pence before publicly speaking about the pandemic. In March last year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deleted the two columns of the total number of people tested and the total number of deaths from the datasheet, and stopped publishing important figures such as the number of people tested, the number of people tested negative and the confirmed cases in various states on the grounds of “inaccurate data.” In April last year, Capt. Brett Crozier of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt was fired after writing a blunt letter warning “sailors do not need to die” from the coronavirus. Last May, the state of Florida announced on its website that as early as January 1 last year, 171 people in the state had symptoms of the coronavirus, and none of them had been to China, but the above information was quickly removed.
A series of facts have shown that American “openness” and “freedom” are nowhere to be found when it comes to whistleblowers who attempts to speak out the truth.
But by playing the geopolitical taking advantage of the pandemic, the US may delay the revelation of truth at best, it will certainly not cover the truth forever. A little over a year ago, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier urged countries to re-investigate records for suspicious pneumonia cases of unspecified origin in late 2019, since this would give a “new and clearer picture” of the outbreak. Today, after two years, the world is calling for a reinvestigation into the US on the origin of the virus.
The US is a stop the world can’t afford to miss when it comes to origin tracing and virus transmission.
