The White House has revamped the COVID-19 guidance page, which now states the likely origin of the virus was a lab leak involving gain-of-function research.
The website features the heading “Lab Leak,” with a subheading of “The True Origins of COVID-19.” The White House lists five key points regarding the coronavirus’s genesis:
- “The virus posses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.“
- “Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.”
- “Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.”
- “Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”
- “By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.” [emphases original]
The website also challenges “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication, which asserted that the virus originated organically.
