About Those Free COVID-19 Tests Joe Biden Sent You...

The Biden administration decided to send all Americans free COVID-19 tests to address the omicron surge. So far, the ordered tests are getting delivered unless you live in an apartment. As our editor Paula Boylard noted, those living in colder parts of the country may also have their tests left out in the cold. The COVID tests are not supposed to be stored in temperatures under 36° F. Fox’s Bill Hemmer received the four tests he ordered and noted another odd feature. According to Fox News:
Hemmer, co-host of “America’s Newsroom,” praised the federal government and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for getting the tests out quickly after he and many other Americans put in the request last week for free tests. But he noted when he turned the test package over the “fine print” revealed the tests were manufactured in China.
“I got mine yesterday,” Hemmer said, holding up the orange kit. “All four of them came. Congrats U.S. government. U.S. Postal Service did a great job. Got my four tests. And on the back of the fine print, Dana, it is made in China.”
It makes perfect sense, of course. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sent citizens from Wuhan all over the world early in the pandemic while restricting their travel within China. Now, two years later, Chinese companies are profiting from the fallout. iHealth, the Chinese company Hemmer’s test came from, received a $1.275 billion contract from the Army Contracting Command earlier this month. Reuters reported that the firm, a division of China’s Andon Health Limited, also signed a $120 million contract from the New York State Department of Health and another for $148.3 million from Massachusetts.

Hemmer stated the COVID test kits he received were made in China. Yet the Army announcement stated, “Work will be performed in Sunnyvale, California.” The screenshot shared by Fox Digital contradicts the Army’s statement. The box says the kits were manufactured for iHealth Labs in Sunnyvale and made in China. It appears warehousing and distribution of rapid antigen tests made in China could be the only “work” completed by iHealth in Sunnyvale.
Even more frightening, iHealth offers more than just COVID testing. The company’s core business is remote monitoring and coaching for patients with chronic diseases. A Chinese company is selling medical data collection services to American doctors and patients:
iHealth receiving a government contract for COVID rapid tests follows other reports that Chinese companies are collecting genetic and other health-related data on Americans.
