With this virus, they have told us all kinds of things that turned out to be false. They told us it didn't come from a lab. Now again it looks like it sure did, because the Department of Energy, FBI, everyone says it came from a lab. Now, they said it wasn't gain of function research. Sure looks like it was. They said it wasn't our tax dollars used at that Wuhan Institute of Virology. Yes, they were, through EcoHealth.AI Verified source (Mar 5, 2023)

Relevant: the quote is directly about COVID origins and says it now appears the virus came from a lab; in the article, this is presented as Jim Jordan's argument about the pandemic's origin and the lab-leak theory, so a stance on the full statement is readily determinable.

Jordan explicitly rejects the non-lab view, saying officials falsely claimed "it didn't come from a lab" and that "it sure did"; the article also frames him as backing the "lab leak theory."
