Sure! Here is a rewritten version of the passage with a clear, professional, and slightly more neutral tone, while retaining the key details:
Federal COVID Website Now Highlights Lab Leak Theory, Features Trump and Criticism of Fauci
A U.S. federal website that once offered guidance on COVID-19 vaccines, testing, and treatment has been repurposed to promote the theory that the virus originated from a laboratory leak.
Now branded under the domain covid.gov, the site prominently features a photo of former President Donald Trump walking between the words “lab” and “leak” beneath a White House banner. The page references Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus was first detected, noting the city houses a virology lab with a history of handling viruses under what it claims were “inadequate biosafety levels.”
The site also takes aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, alleging that he promoted a “preferred narrative” favoring natural origins for COVID-19.
While the origin of the virus remains unconfirmed, scientists continue to debate whether COVID-19 emerged from animal-to-human transmission—a common pathway for new viruses—or from a laboratory incident. A U.S. intelligence report released in 2023 concluded that there is insufficient evidence to definitively support either theory.
