Overview

• The White House launched a website asserting the COVID-19 virus likely originated from a Wuhan laboratory incident.
• The site criticizes media, politicians, health officials, and Anthony Fauci for promoting the natural spillover theory early in the pandemic.
• It also denounces pandemic measures such as social distancing, mask mandates, and lockdowns as misguided.
• This follows recent intelligence and legislative reports, including a December 2024 House subcommittee report and a January 2025 CIA assessment, supporting the lab leak hypothesis.
• Despite these endorsements, the scientific community remains divided, with studies unable to conclusively determine the virus's origin.
