Those who actually silenced and threatened the doctor (RIP Li Wenliang) who discovered COVID19 and shared his research in a Wechat group with other doctors in the early December 2019 were the Wuhan mayor, the chief of police and two other person.
They got suspended in early January and angry mob have been calling them the "the four fuckers" on Chinese social media since.
They should be called "the four fuckers who silenced and threatened Dr. Li Wenliang and let thousands of people around the world die".
That's technically what it means.
