I can't believe that I am witnessing this happening in real time.
At this stage, The onion should fact check The White House to make sure that they are real.
Just wow.

if you only look at the top of the page, it's like saying trump is the white house lab leak
Dictators gonna dictate. This is what you will believe now or off to the camps with you.
I thought this was all confirmed?
https://www.science.org/content/article/house-panel-concludes-covid-19-pandemic-came-lab-leak
That article says that a House Republican-led subcommittee came to that conclusion based on shakey evidence at best, made several other unfounded claims unrelated to the origin, and was criticized heavily by House Democrats. Their main piece of evidence was the Wuhan lab experimenting with distantly related COVID variants.
I would not call that "confirmed".
Regardless of the origin, Trump still fucked up response, both before it became a problem and after it got to the US. At this point I don't care where it came from, because the ones that are absolutely natural that are occurring around us now (or again, like with measles) will be faced by the same idiot that put a match to gasoline before.
