> There is a lot of evidence that points to the virus spreading from a wet market in the city, not the Wuhan lab. But proving something didn’t happen three years after the fact is a challenge that may be impossible to meet.
I find the anxious disclaimer about the Wuhan lab interesting, because of course there were a lot of things the lab itself could have done to clear any doubt at the time, including not muzzling researchers who worked there, and even releasing their virus database (which had been taken offline a couple months earlier, under the pretext that 'someone' had attempted to 'hack' it and has still not been made available three years later).
