The New York Times Reveals Censored Secrets of COVID-19 in China

The New York Times exposed the censored secrets of the coronavirus in China

Evidence shows that under government pressure, Chinese scientists have retracted their studies and hidden or deleted data

Censorship has halted efforts to understand the virus in China, according to the New York Times. Mara Hvistendahl, an investigative reporter who has worked on science within China, and Benjamin Mueller, a health and science reporter, obtained documents that had not been reported before. They interviewed scientists on several continents to gather information on China’s censorship campaign.

In early 2020, on the same day that a frightening new disease was officially named COVID-19, a team of scientists from the United States and China published crucial data showing how quickly the virus was spreading and who it was killing.
