The White House has redirected COVID.gov to a new landing page called “Lab Leak: True Origins of COVID-19,” which makes a five-point argument for the theory that COVID-19 originated from a mistaken lab leak in Wuhan, China.

The new site appears to use theories from the final report of the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, released in December 2024. There has never been a consensus or a “smoking gun” to explain what started the pandemic.

    Say it was a lab leak, and that Fauci was responsible–who employed him? Who was funding the alleged “gain of function” research? Who was in charge at the time and how did they respond?

    Did they take it seriously and try to stop the spread or did they lie about it constantly, pretending it didn’t exist, wasn’t a big deal?

    I guess we’ll never know.
