Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Former President Joe Biden pardoned Dr Fauci before Trump re-entered the White House, and this was highlighted on the new virus web page.
38% : President Trump was previously quoted as saying, 'Now everybody is agreeing that I was right when I very early on called Wuhan the source of COVID-19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus.
29% : A portion of Dr Fauci's pardon was mentioned: 'A full and unconditional pardon for any offences against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in.' The new web page also accused the US Department of Health and Human Services of 'engaging in a multi-year campaign of delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness in an attempt to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials.' The White House has also slammed the World Health Organisation for its response to the pandemic, deeming it an 'abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its international duties.' The White House's new page on COVID-19 is a sharp turn from President Biden's previous approach to the virus and research on the pandemic in general.
