First there was no disease, then it’s not human transmissible. Next it came from Italy, followed by coming from American whitetail deer, then United States military bases, then… etc.
Their story changes just about every other minute. It’s about as consistent as my sleep schedule.
Our official story has changed many times also. Just check out the Wayback machine for www.covid.gov
Wouldn’t be the first time the US blamed the local emergence of a new disease on another country because that country was the first to report it. “Spanish” Flu much?
We all know it came from China. It’s in the name for fucks sake.

The scientific community is largely in consensus that Covid originated naturally. Which means that both the US and Chinese government’s accusations against each other are on equal footing…by being equally wrong.
