Federal Covid Websites Now Promote Lab Leak Theory

The Trump Administration has replaced Two Major Websites for Covid Information with a New Page that promotes the theory that the virus came from a lab in china.

COVID.gov and covidtes.gov, Which Once Helped People Order Covid Tests and Find Public Health Information, Now Redirect to a New Page Titled “Lab Leak.” The Page Shows An Image of President Donald Trump Along with the Words “The True Origins of Covid-19.”

The New Site Claims the Virus Leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Where Covid Research Had Been Ongoing. IT RAISES CONCERN ABout LAB SAFETY AND REFERENCE RECENT CIA SUPPORT FOR THE LAB LEAK THEORY, THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED.

But the website doesn’t share key details such as genetic data from a wuhan wild-animal market where many of the first covid cases were found.

Many Scientists and Seven Intelligence Agencies Still Believe the Virus Most Likely Jummed From Animals to Humans at the Market, Theory Backed by Genetics and Patterns in Early Cases.

Some Government Agencies, Like the FBI and Energy Department, Have Expressed Some Support For the Lab Leak Theory.

Butrs, Including Five US Intelligence Bodies, Still Consider Animal-to-Human Spread More Likely, The Times Said.

The Cia Recently Shifted to Supporting the Lab Theory, But with “Low Confidence” and No New Evidence.

The New Website Also Said That Some Workers “Were Sick With Covid-Like Symptles in the Fall of 2019.”

But 2023 Declasified Report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Said There No No Sign That the Wuhan Lab Ever Had the Virus or One Closely Related to It Before the Outbreak.

The New Website Also includes inacuracate claims, Such as “The Virus Possesses A Biological Characteristic That Is Not Found in Nature.” The Times Noted That This Appears to Be A Reference To a Feature That Helps The Virus Get Inside Cells, Known As The Furin Cleavage Site.

Scientists Say these Features Are Found In other coronaviruses and are not signs of lab engineering, The Times Reported.

In FACT, Researchers Say a Lab-Made Virus Willd Likely Lack That Feature Entirely.

The Website Also Attacks Public Health Figures Like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Forere Head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and Presidential Advisor, and Criticides Pandemic Safety Measures Like Lockdowns and Wearing Masks.

Researchers have shown that many early covid skaters live near the wuhan market, and virus samples found there included genetic material from animals like raccoon dogs. This Further Supports The Idea of ​​Animal-To-Human Spread.
