Description

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, let us not forget the man who first tried to sound the alarm in China despite the Communist government doing everything possible to shut him up: Dr. Li Wenliang . Born on 12 October 1986, Dr. Li was taken from us far too soon at only 33 years old on 7 February 2020.

Please take the time to visit the Wikipedia link to read about Dr. Li. He was the first to publicly identify the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and his "reward" was an official reprimand from the Wuhan provincial government warning him to "stop spreading rumors." Dr. Li was then brave enough to share a copy of the letter with the world so that we all know what the government of China tried to do.

I will never be able to prove anything, but I believe that because of his brave actions, his willingness to be a whistleblower for the sake of the world, and to then show us all exactly how his government retaliated, he was then either directly murdered or denied the levels of lifesaving care that he needed when he came down with the very illness he tried to stop. We now know, as COVID-19 goes around the world, that it doesn't tend to kill people of Dr. Li's young age and good health. Perhaps the Communists hoped this would be like the first SARS epidemic and they could make Dr. Li look like nothing more than an unfortunate statistic. Again, I can't prove anything but I just cannot buy that. Not after Dr. Li defied the Chinese government for the sake of all of us, and made them look like malicious fools in the process.

However it happened, exactly, the suppression of free speech and the rule by authoritarianism and fear in China directly caused the death of Dr. Li Wenliang, and more than we currently know.

Whatever the true cause of his death, though, let us never forget what Dr. Li did. Had the Communists listened, we would not be where we are now. And had he not stood up, we could be in an even worse position than where we are.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
