White House declares lab leak as ‘true origin’ of COVID-19 in website revamp

Published



The White House completely remodeled its webpage on COVID-19 to reflect its stance that the virus originated from a lab in China.

The website states that the “Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” a scientific paper published in Nature Medicine in March 2020, was used by public health officials to “discredit the lab theory.” The White House claimed former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci relied on the paper to “push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally.”
