A 2022 DoD report, recently declassified by the Trump administration, confirms that seven U.S. soldiers contracted COVID-19-like symptoms during the 2019 Wuhan World Military Games, held in October in Wuhan, China. Authored by then-Under Secretary of Defense Gilbert Cisneros under the Biden administration, the report marks a significant acknowledgment of early infections among American service members.
Previously, the Chinese government and some U.S. journalists pointed to U.S. Army Reservist Maatje Benassi as “patient zero,” alleging she introduced the virus to Wuhan during the games. Despite these claims, the U.S. government had long denied that any participants exhibited signs of COVID-19—until this report surfaced, reversing earlier statements and fueling renewed debate over the virus’s origins.

Infowars.com reports: Benassi consistently claimed she never tested positive for or exhibited any symptoms of COVID, which may be true as the newly-released report does not disclose the names of the seven service members who showed signs of COVID following the games.

Meanwhile, CCP defector Wei Jingsheng alleged in September 2021 that the Communist Chinese deliberately spread COVID-19 at the military tournament, telling The Mail Australia, “I thought the Chinese Government would take this opportunity to spread the virus during the Military Games, as many foreigners would show up there.”
The whistleblower said he had heard the Chinese may have been preparing for an “unusual exercise” during the event involving “some strange weapons, including biological weapons.”
Former Principal China Adviser to the U.S. State Department Miles Yu backed up Jingsheng’s claims, asserting that he witnessed French, German and American athletes fall sick at the tournament with COVID-like symptoms.
Obtained by The Washington Free Beacon this week, the 2022 Biden DoD report revealed seven of America’s 263 World Military Games personnel delegation exhibited COVID-19-like symptoms from October 18, 2019 to January 21, 2020.
That means they potentially caught the virus over two months before China officially acknowledged the outbreak.

The report also noted, “Service members were not tested for COVID-19 or antibodies due to their participation in the 2019 World Military Games, as testing was not available at this early stage of the pandemic.”
“DoD has not conducted or opened an investigation into connections between the outbreak
of COVID-19 and the 2019 World Military Games,” the government document stated.
The report was mandated by Section 1068 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2022, but the Biden administration failed to make the findings public, leaving the Trump DoD to release the information.
Free Beacon reports, “Former Biden Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Post in June 2021 that the military had ‘no knowledge’ of any COVID-19 infections among the troops that participated in those games,” which now appears to have been a lie.
Disgraced ex-National Health Institutes Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was knee-deep in the gain-of-function research taking place at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology where COVID-19 likely leaked from, which was just over 17 miles away from the location of the 2019 World Military Games.
Meanwhile, billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates’ Event 201 pandemic simulation exercise in partnership with Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum took place on October 18, 2019, the exact same day the military tournament began.
Former State Department official Mike Benz highlighted this bizarre overlap in a recent X post, writing, “This is absolutely insane. The Event 201 tabletop exercise playing out a bat-borne Coronavirus being released in China was held THE EXACT SAME DAY as the start of the Wuhan World Military Games: October 18, 2019.”
As Infowars highlighted in 2021, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology attempted to secure $14 million in funding from DARPA in 2018 to genetically alter viruses, including bat coronaviruses, and make them more infectious to humans.
The COVID-19 origin rabbit hole is deep, and the new DoD report shows much more research and government transparency is necessary in order to provide more answers to the public after having their lives upended due to the intentionally released bioweapon.
