The government website covid.gov has shifted focus under President Trump, now redirecting to a site promoting the unfounded theory that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in China. This transition occurred alongside claims downplaying preventive measures against the virus, despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of social distancing and mask mandates. Other government sites have similarly seen content alterations, with terms related to diversity systematically removed from official documents. This reflects a broader trend of the current administration editing information to align with its agenda.
The covidtests.gov website, where people could previously order free coronavirus tests, also redirects to this new page.
However, hundreds of studies have shown that these preventative measures do, in fact, reduce the transmission of respiratory infections like COVID-19.
