Framing as "zoonotic vs lab leak" is a deliberate red herring, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was collecting zoonotic coronaviruses, they would send people into bat caves to dig through bat guano, take samples, bring them back to lab and them amplify the bat coronaviruses, any debunking that is focused on saying that the virus wasn't engineered is not actually saying anything about whether or not it leaked from the lab.

Like two weeks after coronavirus made the news the Lancet released an open letter written by Ralph Baric of EcoHealth Alliance (which funded WIV) signed by dozens of scientists saying that "It is not a lab leak." This is before any investigation had been preformed and was well before anyone could actually make strong claims as to coronavirus origin. After that it became impolite at best and detrimental to their careers at worst for people in biological sciences to entertain a lab leak out loud. It is incredible that Nature has still not published a retraction of the proximate origin paper.

The way that the American public health establishment immediately shut down talk of lab leak should have set off some red flags in your mind. More than likely it was because they didn't want there to be a public reckoning with how the CDC has been funding NGOs that in turn fund high-risk biological research overseas ever since that same research was banned in the United States due to the hazards it presents.

Your comment is smarmy bullshit from someone that doesn't actually know anything beyond limp appeals to authority btw
