We know that more than 600,000 Americans and 3.8 million people worldwide have died as a result of COVID-19. A recent study found that cases could have been significantly reduced around the globe if interventions in China could have been conducted just weeks earlier. It is a widely accepted fact that China's obstruction and coverup cost lives. It is simple: China lied and Americans died.

Americans have a right to know the truth, and we must hold China accountable for their COVID coverup. ____________________
