"Unveiling the Enigma: China's Connection to the Mysterious California Biolab"

A mysterious underground biolab in Reedley, California, linked to Universal Meditech Inc. (UMI), a medical supply firm with alleged Chinese ties, has raised concerns among officials. A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found 20 different infectious agents, including tuberculosis, dengue, HIV, COVID-19, and malaria, inside the unsanitary facility. UMI, its successor Prestige Biotech, and their management have been uncooperative with authorities.
