My warmest congratulations to @who.int Member States for their commitment to keeping their people and the world safer.

What a moment in global health history. Together!

Excellent fast check by @adamjkucharski.bsky.social on the misleading info provided by The White House on the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
adamjkucharski.bsky.social
The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
2.

Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
3.

Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.
4.

Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
5.

By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.
