False Claims by Trump Administration on COVID-19 Origin
The Trump administration falsely claims COVID-19 originated in a lab, despite lack of confirmation. Multiple intelligence agencies have low confidence on lab origin. Scientific evidence points to natural origin through illegal wildlife trade in China. Claims that NIH funded pandemic are unfounded. Lab leak theory unsupported by scientific community. White House webpage presents misleading statements to support lab leak theory. No evidence of Trump calling military nurse Ruby Bradley a 'loser' or ordering removal of her service history.
