The Trump administration on Friday changed a White House COVID-19 website to include assertions that the virus’s true origins are likely from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and it faulted a number of entities and individuals for how they responded during the pandemic.

A White House press officer, Anna Kelly, appeared to confirm the change on social media platform X on Friday, including a link to the covid.gov page that, under the Biden administration, included information on how to order COVID-19 tests, vaccines, and treatment, as well as information on “long COVID,” symptoms, and other details.
