Overview
- COVID.gov now redirects to a White House-branded page asserting that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
- The revamped site accuses Dr. Anthony Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance, and others of concealing evidence and promoting a natural origin narrative.
- The webpage criticizes mask mandates, social distancing guidelines, and lockdowns as ineffective and harmful, calling them unscientific.
- All content on the new page is sourced from the House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report.
- A senior Trump administration official described the change as a commitment to transparency and informing the public about the pandemic's origins.
