The White House has directed Covid.gov to the new direction yard called “Lab leakage: True Origin Covid-19,“What makes a five -point argument Theory that Covid-19 comes from the wrong lab leak in Wuhan, China.

This new site seems to use theory from the Final Report led by the Republic Select Subcomite on Pandemi Coronavirus, released in December 2024. There was never a consensus or “smoking weapon” to explain what started Pandemi.
Covid.gov page, recently last week, registered resources for testing, maintenance, and vaccination of COVID-19, as well as information for Long Covid.
Five parts of the evidence submitted by the White House For this theory includes the following statement: that “viruses have biological characteristics, namely not found in nature“The data shows that all cases” come from One Introduction to Humans,” That “Wuhan is home to the leading SARS research lab in China“That Researchers in the Research Laboratory” Pain with symptoms like Covid in the fall of 2019, “and that” if there is evidence of natural origin that will be owned has appeared.“
The page includes a claim that government officials, including former Director of NIAID Dr. Anthony Fauci, helped edit and then strengthen Research Paper About the origin of Covid-19 published in 2020 which supports the theory of Nature.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and former Head of Medical Advisor to President Biden, became emotional after being asked about the threat to him and his family, when he testified before the supervision of the house and sub -community reform chosen in Pandemik Coronavirus, at Capitol Hill, June 20, 2024.

The current page shows that the explicit intention of this paper is to discredit the lab leak theory and erase doubts that the origin comes from nature. This is not a new accusation and in the past Mouth And the paper writer does not agree with the accusation that the paper is manipulated or has a specific goal.
The origin of the pandemic has been debated with heat from the start.
The theories that apply seem to always focus on two scenarios: both natural exposure to infected animals or unintentional laboratory leaks.
Without “smoking pistols” and limited access to raw data, discussions about science have been played in the fog of indirect evidence.
In October 2021, National Intelligence Director’s Office released The reported report on the view of the intelligence community about the original puzzles, which also leaning towards natural abundance, but represented the divided view. A next Declassification Report Released in 2023 also noted that most intelligence communities were divided about the origin of Pandemic. In reports, US institutions generally agree that the virus is most likely not developed as a biological weapon and that Chinese leaders do not know about the virus before the start of a global pandemic.
The new one Splash Page featured a photo of Fauci and former former President Joe Biden, highlighted that it was for “any violation.” The page also accused the federal institution, including NIH and HHS, violated the law and violated the rules on transparency and cooperation with the Congress investigation. These bodies comply with FOIA requests and other requests from the committee and also appear before parliamentary members when asked to testify.
Web pages also question the efficacy of social distances, closure and locking. The White House also criticized responses from New York officials.
Fauci testified about the accusations before members of parliament in 2024, said that the accusation of him covered or influenced research on the theory of lab leakage was incorrect.
“The accusation was circulated that I influenced scientists to change their minds by bribing them with millions of dollars in the form of grant money completely, and it just made sense. I did not have input into the contents of the paper published,” Fauci said in June 2024.
“The second problem is a false accusation that I try to cover up the possibility that the virus originated from the laboratory. The fact is, the truth is the opposite,” Fauci said during the 2024 session.

This is not the first time the White House has explained its position about the origin of Covid-19. In January, President Trump said that Covid-19 had “suppressed” his relationship with President Xi Jinping from China.
“But, I really like President Xi. I always like him. We always have a very good relationship. It was very tense with the Covid coming out of Wuhan. Obviously, it strengthened it. I am sure it strengthens him with many people, but that strengthens our relationship, “Trump said in a comment to the World Economy Forum.
