Overview

  • The White House has replaced the COVID.gov website with a page titled 'Lab Leak: The True Origins of COVID-19,' promoting the theory that the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.
  • The new page highlights five key arguments supporting the lab leak theory, including claims about the virus's biological traits and the Wuhan Institute of Virology's research practices.
  • Content on the revamped site is sourced from the House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, which concluded a lab origin was most likely.
  • The website criticizes Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Biden administration, and the World Health Organization for allegedly suppressing the lab leak theory and mishandling pandemic policies.
  • Public health measures such as mask mandates, social distancing, and lockdowns are also challenged on the site, with claims they were arbitrary or ineffective.
