VP Appears to Embrace Idea the Biden-Harris Administration Once Censored as Conspiracy Theory
In the height of the pandemic, social media companies embraced censorship of certain viewpoints, which Mark Zuckerberg recently admitted came as a result of pressure from the Biden-Harris White House. Major media outlets, meanwhile, dismissed other topics as a racist conspiracies, namely the Wuhan lab leak theory. The “debunking” of this “fringe theory” was helped in part by a February 2020 letter signed by dozens of scientists condemning COVID origin theories that suggested the virus did not have a natural origin, which was published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet. But the evidence eventually became too overwhelming to continue dismissing as a far-right conspiracy theory, and by May 26, 2021, President Biden ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to get to the bottom of COVID’s origins, whether it came from human contact with an infected animal or a lab.
Given the theory’s evolution from fringe to widely accepted, many debate viewers found it interesting that Vice President Kamala Harris embraced an idea her administration once censored.
During a segment where Harris tried to paint Trump as being soft on China, she emphasized how he thanked President Xi for his handling of the coronavirus. As The Wall Street Journal noted, while it's true he did send the tweet thanking the Chinese leader, it happened in January of 2020, "about six weeks before the World Health Organization declared the spreading disease a pandemic and widespread shutdowns happened in the U.S."
She continued, "When we know that XI was responsible for lacking and not giving us transparency about the origins of COVID."
Did Kamala Harris just admit the Covid virus originated in a lab in China?

It wasn't too long ago this was considered a “conspiracy theory” and was censored by the Biden-Harris administration all over the internet. pic.twitter.com/lFCcKsz3Cp
VP Harris sounds like she just admitted the Covid virus originated in a lab. That was one of the “conspiracy theories” the Biden-Harris administration censored on the Internet. #Debate2024

Kamala Harris claims that Trump “thanked Xi Jinping during Covid” when he should have condemned him for the lab leak

Dude, you screamed “racist and conspiracy theorist” at the time because he kept calling it the “China Virus”
Stop trying to rewrite history
Was really weird to see Harris call Trump soft on China and act like it's always been conventional wisdom with her party that Covid is their fault and the virus came from their lab

That one was head spinning
Kamala Harris low-key admitted that COVID’s origin was actually a lab in China. The Biden-Harris administration leaned on social media companies to censor as “conspiracy theory” that very idea. Crazy.
