Q Thank you, Jen. First, on COVID: Does President Biden think these theories we hear more about now — that COVID-19 may have been manmade and escaped from a lab in China — are a wacky conspiracy theory? Or, based on what he has heard and been briefed on, does he think that’s possible?
MS. PSAKI: Well, we went through this journey together yesterday, so let’s do it again.
So, the President believes there needs to be an independent investigation, one that’s run by the international community. It’s an international pandemic that’s killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
He believes the Chinese need to do more to put forward data, to be more transparent. And in the second phase of this effort, he’s certainly hopeful that will be the case. And he believes that every theory should be explored through that process but that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions before that data and that information is made available.
Psaki’s boss had put her in a tight spot and handled the question as well as she could. Just be thankful the Biden Administration has tacitly admitted its unforced error and changed course on the origins of the Wuhan virus.,
She's had a bunch of questions like this from OANN specifically.
Tuesday's was when a guy asked the same question two days in a row:

I know the administration has gotten some decent mileage out of holding these people up for daily ridicule, but I'd prefer OANN was removed from the briefing room entirely. Shouldn't that time be given over to real questions from real news outlets?
