White House replaces Covid.gov with 'Lab Leak' webpage, blames origins of outbreak on Wuhan laboratory
Briefly

The Trump administration replaced COVID.gov with a new COVID-19 page, focusing on the lab leak theory as the most likely source of the virus. This shift promotes misleading claims and rewrites the historical context of the pandemic's origin. Health experts have widely disputed the lab leak theory, asserting that a natural origin is more plausible. The new site criticizes the Biden administration for its response to COVID-19 and illustrates a broader narrative shift that sees transparency as a key objective, despite contradicting conclusions from scientific investigations.
The new White House page on COVID-19 redirects attention to a lab leak theory, claiming it is the most likely origin, amid criticisms of misleading narratives.
Public health officials refuted the lab leak theory early on, concluding a natural origin was more plausible, despite the new narrative from the White House.
The White House now rewrites history to blame past administrations for their handling of the pandemic, and suggests media suppression of the lab leak narrative.
A senior official stated, 'This administration prioritizes transparency over all else,' indicating a commitment to providing what they consider 'truth' about COVID-19.
