White House replaced COVID site with lab-leak theory

The White House replaced its COVID-19 information website with one promoting the "lab leak" theory about the virus's origin, a controversial claim. The new website, launched last week, features an image of former President Trump and echoes a Republican-led report alleging the virus originated in a Wuhan lab. The previous site offered resources on vaccines, testing, and treatment. This change comes amid ongoing debate about COVID-19's origins, with many scientists still supporting the natural origin theory. The CDC continues to track COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
