The Spin
Democratic narrative
While it's common for a new administration to overhaul government websites, the fact that the Trump administration decided to transform an informative page about a disease that continues to kill hundreds of Americans per week into a promotion page for the lab leak theory is a matter of concern.
Republican narrative
This new webpage is a breath of fresh air for people who were punished for merely suggesting that a lab leak was to blame for the pandemic's origins in a malicious campaign carried out by the Biden administration to cover up the truth. Now, it's time to move to hold those behind the censorship accountable.
