Michael Pillsbury: Dr. Fauci has talked about how he has been on the phone with China over the last two months. A lot of the data we get from the models are based on China’s official data. Dr. Birx has talked about the data coming from China.

Narration: Both America and the world have been reliant on China’s numbers for establishing models for the pandemic. But just how reliable are these numbers?

Caixin wrote on multiple days, trucks delivered 2,500 urns to a government-run funeral home. There are 8 funeral homes in Wuhan. However the total official death toll in Wuhan is only 2500.

The medical community interpreted the Chinese data as, this was serious, but smaller than anyone expected, Because, probably…we were missing a significant amount of the data.” So could you tell me what we would have done differently if we knew the true picture of the pandemic, if the CCP revealed all the information at the early stage?
