The lab leak theory is weird to me. Absent some remarkable discovery and a few defectors, even if it had happened, we're unlikely to find conclusive proof now. The virus has been studied enough to know that there are no "biomarkers". And if it <i>was</i> true .. then so what? What follows from that belief?<p>It's also politically linked to an odd set of other beliefs - covid denial/minimization and anti-lockdown/anti-maskers. Are we supposed to believe "COVID was a Chinese bioweapon and therefore we should have done nothing about it"?
It's seems like an extraordinarily bad idea to report on something like this. It's like reporting on a not guilty verdict, the effect is the opposite of what justice wants
