It's frustrating that people make the argument that the lab leak theory is "politically convenient" and that it "played into various conspiracy theories" and then go on to list ridiculous things that no one here is arguing. A lot of people look at covid, which was first seen in wuhan, and think "hmm, it seems like there's a good chance it came from the lab in wuhan that studies coronaviruses." You don't have to involve politics at all for it to be easy to believe.
