« The true origins of Covid-19 » on the White House website

The White House posted on its official website a new website on the origins of the coronavirus, which supports the theory that Covid-19 appeared in a laboratory, DPA reports on Friday.

The page, which resembles a Hollywood movie poster, displays the title ‘Lab Leak’ in capital letters. Between the two words is a Donald Trump with a determined air. Under the title is written: ‘The true origins of Covid-19’, Covid-19 being written by hand.

The page accuses the media, politicians, health authorities and American immunologist Anthony Faci from spreading the theory that the virus naturally appeared.

It also claims that there is a lot of evidence that the virus comes from a laboratory in the Chinese metropolis Wuhan.

More than five years after the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, it is still clear whether the virus has gone from animals to humans or appeared in a China laboratory.

The site also criticized the most important rules during the coronavirus-such as social distance, wearing masks and isolation-as wrong.

In January, one of the first actions of the new director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), John Ratcliffe, was to change the assessment of his agency on the origin of the coronavirus, saying that this was probably a laboratory accident.

The CIA appreciates that an origin of the Covid-19 pandemic related to research is more likely than a natural origin.

At the beginning of December, a subcommittee of the House of Representatives in the US had already presented a report that supported the laboratory theory.

Lothar Wieler, former president of the Robert Koch (RKI) Institute in Germany, recently told the German daily Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung that he also believes that the laboratory theory is more likely. RKI monitors diseases and public health in Germany.
