Overview
- The White House has overhauled Covid.gov, now presenting the Wuhan lab-leak theory as the definitive origin of Covid-19.
- The revamped site lists five arguments supporting the lab-leak hypothesis, including the absence of evidence for natural origins and Wuhan's virology institute's proximity to early cases.
- Dr. Anthony Fauci is criticized on the site for advocating natural-origin theories, while the Biden administration's pandemic measures are also targeted.
- U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and Department of Energy, support the lab-leak theory with varying levels of confidence, though definitive evidence remains absent.
- China rejects the lab-leak claim as politically motivated and maintains the theory is 'extremely improbable,' reflecting ongoing tensions between the two nations.
