8. Re-watch the CBS47 video and the 2023 Fox News video under "Resources." Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba said the city and county warned the federal government
and "when we tried to raise the flag we received such a poor response from the CDC - it's almost as if they didn't want anything to do with this."
County Supervisor Nathan Magsig said "some of the items that were discovered in the Reedley lab...pointed to the fact that there may be additional labs in other parts of the United States."
She said that when she called, "the CDC hung up on her" and that the CDC never tested a single sample, even at city expense.
Why do you think the Biden administration refused to take any action on the biohazards being secretly developed by a Chinese national aligned with the Chinese Communist Party in a California warehouse?
