Lab Leak

“The Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services has shielded key public health officials from scrutiny,” it claims.

The Evolution of the Lab Leak Theory

[Dec 2019] — Mysterious pneumonia cases reported in Wuhan, China

[Jan 2020] — First U.S. COVID-19 case confirmed

[April 2020] — President Trump and Secretary Pompeo suggest virus originated from a lab in Wuhan

[Feb 2021] — WHO-China joint investigation downplays lab leak theory

[March 2023] — FBI endorses lab leak theory with "moderate confidence"

[Dec 2024] — House Republican report concludes COVID-19 originated from a lab

[April 2025] — Trump administration launches official White House webpage promoting lab leak theory

Ongoing Political Divide

In December 2024, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, led by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), published a report endorsing the lab-leak theory as the most probable origin of the virus. However, House Democrats issued a counter-report, asserting that the Republican-led investigation failed to conclusively determine the virus’s origins.

Historical Context and Endorsements

The “lab leak” theory has been in circulation since the early months of the pandemic. In 2020, both President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo publicly supported the theory. The FBI also endorsed the theory in 2023, stating it believed a lab accident was the most likely cause.

The shift in narrative marks a significant departure from early pandemic messaging and aligns with numerous changes made to federal websites and policies since Trump’s return to office.

“Lab Leak: The True Origins of COVID-19,” now headlines what was once the Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 guidance page.
