Trump on Covid origins: Now everyone agrees I was right
Former US President Donald Trump says he “was right” about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, which he often employed to attack China.
"Now everybody is agreeing that I was right when I very early on called Wuhan as the source of COVID-19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
He made the comments a day after White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at a briefing on Monday that Washington supports “an expert-driven evaluation” of the coronavirus origins.
"To me it was obvious from the beginning but I was badly criticized, as usual. Now they are all saying 'He was right.' Thank you!" Trump added.
A recent Wall Street Journal report has revived questions about whether the novel coronavirus originated in a lab leak scenario rather than from an animal, the latter assumed by the scientific community as the likely scenario.
The report cited “previously undisclosed US intelligence.”
“Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care,” it read.
This is while a WHO-led labeled the lab leak theory “extremely unlikely” in a report issued earlier this year.
“We don’t have enough data and information to jump to a conclusion at this point in time,” Psaki said.
