Overview

• The revamped COVID.gov website prioritizes the lab leak theory as the likely origin of COVID-19, citing CIA and Department of Energy assessments along with House Oversight Committee findings.
• The site critiques early pandemic public health measures, labeling mask mandates and social distancing guidelines as unscientific and politically motivated.
• Dr. Anthony Fauci is accused of promoting a natural origin narrative for COVID-19 and supporting policies deemed arbitrary by the new administration.
• Content on the updated website is sourced directly from the House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
• The Trump administration frames the overhaul as a commitment to transparency, contrasting it with what it describes as the Biden administration's suppression of alternative narratives.
