The coronavirus pandemic might have been prevented if not for Chinese cover-ups in the early days of the outbreak and the World Health Organization โ€œparrotingโ€ Beijing propaganda, according to a damning audit from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The 96-page report โ€” obtained by The Post ahead of its planned Monday release โ€” says the Chinese Communist Party destroyed evidence and buried troubling data, while nationalizing the supply chains and limiting exports of US companies 3M and General Motors, keeping key goods in the country.

โ€œIt is beyond doubt that the CCP actively engaged in a cover-up designed to obfuscate data, hide relevant public health information, and suppress doctors and journalists who attempted to warn the world,โ€ reads the report, authored by Republican members of the Democrat-held committee.

Had China been more transparent and proactive when the first signs of the burgeoning health crisis emerged in Wuhan in late 2019, the outbreak could have been largely contained โ€” potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide, the pols wrote.

โ€œResearch shows the CCP could have reduced the number of cases in China by up to 95 percent had it fulfilled its obligations under international law and responded to the outbreak in a manner consistent with best practices,โ€ the report said, citing a study on Medrxiv, a Yale University-linked online clearinghouse for medical manuscripts.

โ€œIt is highly likely the ongoing pandemic could have been prevented,โ€ the report said.

Instead, on Jan. 1, CCP officials ordered that the Wuhan wet market from which the contagion is believed to have sprung โ€œbe closed and sanitized, destroying forensic evidence that may have provided insight into the origins of the outbreak,โ€ the report said.

On Jan. 2, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology completed a full genetic sequence of COVID-19 which indicated that it was likely highly contagious, but did not immediately share that data with the WHO.

Allegedly aiding and abetting the breakdown was the WHO itself and its director-general, Tedros Adhanom, according to the lawmakers, who called for Tedrosโ€™ resignation.
