Many Democrats, Big Tech leaders and those in the media (pardon the redundancy) spent the better part of the past year calling “misinformation” on anybody claiming that Covid-19 could have come from a Wuhan lab instead of a wet market. Fast forward to this weekend and even Dr. Fauci is saying he’s not convinced coronavirus developed naturally:

Couple that with the Wall Street Journal’s new report:
Three Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a U.S. intelligence report that could add to calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped from the lab https://t.co/kzvVbFQZDf

At today’s briefing, Jen Psaki was asked about the story, and laughably claimed that the Biden White House hopes the World Health Organization can be transparent the second time around:
WH’s Psaki on growing evidence Covid escaped from a Chinese lab: We want a WHO-driven investigation, not a U.S-led probe:
"We have repeatedly called for the W.H.O. to support an expert-driven evaluation of the pandemic's origins" pic.twitter.com/XQlUws9Ndd

After @PDoocy went back-and-forth with Jen Psaki over the @WSJ story about Wuhan Institute of Virology employees, Reuters's @jeffmason1 and CBS's @Weijia Jiang both picked up on it and continued hammering away (and much to Psaki's dismay).
Left, right, center — this matters.

Peter Doocy repeatedly grills White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on the WSJ story alleging three Wuhan Institute of Virology employees became so ill in Nov. 2019 that they ended up in the hospital.

Psaki's last answer pretty much surmised how the Biden White House feels about China and their COVID origins: "I think the family members of the loved ones whose lives have been lost and deserve accurate information data, not jumping to a conclusion." pic.twitter.com/hv0RAzs3oO
