SARS-CoV-2 is a natural virus that found its way into humans through mundane contact with infected wildlife that went on to cause the most consequential pandemic for over a century. While it is scholarly to entertain alternative hypotheses, particularly when evidence is scarce, these alternative hypotheses have been implausible for a long time and have only become more-so with increasing scrutiny. Those who eagerly peddle suggestions of laboratory involvement have consistently failed to present credible arguments to support their positions.
Take the time to reflect on the paragraph above and how many words were expended to make the simple point that COVID-19 had a natural origin. This is because there are many people, most notably in the USA, with disproportionate influence who are poised to seize on less explicit statements to undermine a simple, and pretty straightforward, truth.
The folks over on TWiV have made this point many times. We have a known potential pathway for a natural origin with plenty of previous examples and no extra steps needed. The alternative is a whole bunch of extra steps without supporting evidence and is just a poor explanation for the data we have.
Is it possible to eliminate the lab leak? No, but the same is true of a teapot orbiting the sun.
