The Biden administration and the DOD concealed a 2022 report noting that seven U.S. service members may have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, in October 2019 — even though the administration was legally obligated to release the report to the public, the Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday.
Seven U.S. service members may have contracted COVID-19 during the Military World Games in Wuhan, China, in October 2019 — but the Biden administration and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) concealed a report with that information, even though they were legally obligated to release it to the public, the Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday.

The three-page report, dated December 2022, states that the seven service members “exhibited COVID-19-like signs and/or symptoms” during or after the military games.
The illnesses occurred months before China or the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the outbreak.
The report, by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, was submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
It contradicts the Biden administration’s public claims in 2021 that there was “no evidence that any American participants contracted the virus at those games,” the Free Beacon reported.
According to the Free Beacon, the report “adds to a mounting body of evidence” supporting the “lab-leak theory” of COVID-19’s origins — and that the virus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The CIA, FBI, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Congress and other intelligence agencies have endorsed this theory.
Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, Ph.D., said:
“This new information provides further evidence that COVID already was circulating in Wuhan in October 2019 [and] strengthens U.S. and allied intelligence data indicating that COVID was circulating in Wuhan in October-November 2019, U.S. and allied intelligence data indicating that researchers working with genetically enhanced SARS [severe acute respiratory syndrome] viruses at Wuhan Institute of Virology contracted COVID in October-November 2019, and phylogenomic data indicating that the virus that causes COVID entered humans in July-November 2019.”
In a post on X earlier this week, Mike Benz, a former official with the U.S. Department of State and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, noted that the Military World Games in Wuhan began on the same day as Event 201 — a tabletop exercise simulating the global outbreak of a coronavirus — was conducted.
This is absolutely insane. The Event 201 tabletop exercise playing out a bat-borne Coronavirus being released in China was held THE EXACT SAME DAY as the start of the Wuhan World Military Games: October 18, 2019. https://t.co/r5yXwGb05R pic.twitter.com/pXKichr0p6

News of the report’s existence surfaced the same week that U.S. Right to Know publicized documents showing that, in 2020, a Defense Intelligence Agency analysis concluded that the Wuhan Institute of Virology could develop “a lab-engineered virus” and that it likely “escaped from containment.”
Service members’ illnesses ‘a closely guarded secret’
According to The American Prospect, the U.S. contingent of athletes traveled to the Military World Games through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and Washington was one of the earliest U.S. COVID-19 “hotspots.”
A 2021 U.S. House Republican Foreign Affairs report on COVID-19 origins — and a June 2021 Daily Mail story — also suggested athletes from several countries experienced COVID-19-like symptoms during and after the Military World Games, and that Wuhan was a “ghost town” during that period, with residents asked to stay home for an unspecified reason.
