Donald Trump launches new Covid-19 website accusing Chinese lab of starting fatal global pandemic

Donald Trump has launched a controversial Covid-19 website, claiming the global pandemic originated from a laboratory in China.

President Donald Trump has launched a new website that claims COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The site was unveiled on Saturday and features a section titled “The True Origins Of Covid-19,” which disputes the widely accepted belief that the virus started in an animal market.

The website claims Covid-19 originated from Wuhan, China.

The website accuses the Chinese government and previous U.S. officials of promoting false narratives about the origins of the virus.

It claims Wuhan lab researchers had Covid-like symptoms in late 2019, before the virus was linked to the animal market.

The site claims, “The federal government demonised alternative treatments and disavowed narratives, such as the lab leak theory.”

The launch of this website coincides with ongoing tensions between the United States and China, particularly regarding trade.

Trump has imposed significant tariffs on Chinese imports, raising them to 145%.

The new site appears to be part of his broader strategy to blame China for the pandemic.

The website asserts the virus has unnatural origins.

The website makes bold assertions, stating that the virus has biological characteristics not found in nature.

It concludes, “If there were evidence of a natural origin, it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.”

This statement is part of Trump’s effort to shift the narrative around the pandemic’s origins.

Additionally, the site criticizes the World Health Organization (WHO) for its handling of the pandemic.

It argues that the WHO succumbed to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party, prioritizing China’s political interests over global health responsibilities.

Intelligence reports suggest Covid-19 may originate from a lab.

In January, the CIA suggested that the virus was more likely to have originated in a lab than in nature.

This claim aligns with the findings of a secret report sent to British officials at the start of the pandemic.

The report indicated that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan laboratory.

Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, authored the dossier that was shared with then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

It stated, “It is now beyond reasonable doubt that Covid-19 was engineered in Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

This assertion has stirred controversy, especially regarding the credibility of the sources and the evidence provided.

Scientific advisors dismissed the lab leak theory concerns.

During the early days of the pandemic, Johnson reportedly pressed intelligence agencies to investigate the virus’s origins further.

He was concerned about the coincidence of a mutant virus emerging in a city that houses a lab known for engineering such viruses.

However, sources indicate that scientific advisors, including Patrick Vallance, dismissed these concerns.

This refusal to explore the lab leak theory has led to frustration among some officials.

They believe that more attention should have been given to the possibility of a laboratory origin for the virus, especially given the circumstances.

China responded to the allegations

In response to Trump’s website and claims, Chinese officials have denied any connection between the lab and the pandemic.

They argue that there is no credible evidence to support the idea that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak.

Chinese representatives have accused Trump of politicizing the pandemic and spreading misinformation.

The ongoing dispute over the origins of COVID-19 has significant implications for international relations.

As U.S.-China tensions stay high, both sides keep blaming each other for the pandemic’s global impact.
