Jiang Yanyong, a former Chinese military doctor who blew the whistle on his government’s cover-up of the 2003 SARS epidemic, died from pneumonia on Saturday at the age of 91. The regime in Beijing intimidated his family into taking a “low-key approach” to his passing because it does not want parallels drawn between Jiang and Covid-19 whistleblowers like Dr. Li Wenliang, who was persecuted by the State for trying to sound an early warning about the pandemic that would ravage the world.
