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.

Daily Mail U.S. House Committee on Oversight

Left narrative

This report is politically partisan and unsurprisingly supports the lab-leak theory. But it's far from conclusive on the origins of COVID. Many scientists the world over still hold the view that the virus in fact emerged naturally.

CNN STAT

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.
