White House changes COVID.gov web page to page supporting lab leak theory

White House has diverted Covid.gov to a new target page called “Laboratory leak: true origin of Covid-19,“Which makes an argument of five points for The theory that Covid-19 comes from the wrong laboratory of Laboratory in Ama, China.

The new site seems to use theories from the final report of the Republican manager Choose a subcommittee of the coronavirus pandemic, Issued in December 2024S There has never been a consensus or a “smoking gun” to explain what the pandemic started.

The Covid.gov page, recently last week, listed resources for testing, treatment and vaccination against Covid-19, as well as information about Long Covid.

The five evidence set out by the White House The theory includes the following statements: that “the virus has a biological characteristic that is Is not found in nature“This data shows all cases” An Introduction to People“this”Wuhan is home to the most important SARS study laboratory in China“That researchers in this research lab were” were Patient with symptoms similar to covid In the fall of 2019. “and that” if there were data on natural origin would have He’s already emerging.“

The page includes allegations that government officials, including former NIAID Director, Anthony Foki, helped edit and then reinforced research document About the origin of Covid-19, published in 2020, which supports the theory of natural origin.

This page suggests that the explicit intention of this document was to discredit the theory of the leakage of the laboratory and to eliminate any doubt that the origin is of natural origin. This is not a new accusation in the past Fauchy And the authors of the paper do not agree with the accusations that the paper is manipulated or has some specific purpose.

The origin of the pandemic has been strongly discussed since its beginning.

The prevailing theories always seem to focus on two scenarios: either a natural exposure to an infected animal or an accidental leak of a laboratory.

Without a “smoking gun” and limited access to raw data, the discussion of science is played in a fog of indirect evidence.

In October 2021, the Director of National Intelligence Director released A declassified report on the views of the intelligence community on the puzzle of origin, which also leaned towards a natural overflow, but was separated. Next Decade Issued in 2023 also notes that the greater part of the intelligence community is divided into the origin of the pandemic. In the reports, US agencies generally agreed that the virus was most likely not developed as a biological weapon and that China’s leaders did not know about the virus before the start of the global pandemic.

New The Splash page includes a photo of Fauuci and the pardon that former President Joe Biden provided him, emphasizing that this was for “all crimes”. The page also blames federal agencies, including NIH and HHS, for violating the laws and violating the rules of transparency and cooperation with the congress investigation. The agencies have fulfilled FOIA and other regulatory requests by the Commission and also appeared to lawmakers when they were asked to testify.

The website also questions the efficiency of social distance, masking and locking. The White House also criticizes the response of New York employees.

Facuchi evidence of the accusations of legislators in 2024, saying that accusations of him are concealing or influencing the research on the leak theory of the laboratory are incorrect.

“The accusation that has spread that I influenced scientists to change my opinion by bribing them with millions of dollars money from grants is absolutely false and just ridiculous. I had no contribution to the content of the published document,” Faucci said in June 2024.

“The second issue is a false accusation that I tried to cover the possibility of the virus originated from a laboratory. In fact, the truth is the opposite,” Facuki said during the hearing in 2024.

This is not the first time the White House has clarified its position on the origin of Covid-19. In January, President Trump said Covid-19 had “strained” his relations with his President Jinping from China.

“But I really like my president. I’ve always liked him. We have always had a very good relationship. He was very tense by Covid, coming out of Wuhan. Obviously, that strained him. I’m sure it has strained it with many people, but it has strained our relationship, “Trump said in a remarks to the World Economic Forum.
