The Spin
Right narrative
This is validation for those who supported the lab-leak theory but were mercilessly attacked for holding that position early in the pandemic. This is just the latest report — probably the most exhaustive yet — supporting the view that the virus emerged from the Wuhan lab.
Establishment-critical narrative
This report is just political propaganda from US lawmakers against China, which always seems to be America's bogeyman. This slanderous document is built on unscientific fact gathering and conflicts with experts who deem it unlikely that a lab leak kicked off the COVID pandemic.
