Honestly it’s cool. Personally I try to be very objective, scientific, and factual about stuff, but I’ve 100% been wrong about things in the past. I think the measure of a person is their ability to admit a mistake in the face of irrefutable evidence against their POV.
That is still a possibility but given the conditions of some of the illegal wet markets in China, it is significantly more likely to have stemmed from one of those. I was reading the book Spillover, which was written before COVID, and they went to some wet markets around where SARS originated and while there were more regulations around wet markets, they were largely ignored. The author basically concluded that it was still a ripe environment for another SARS outbreak.

Sorry to be overly harsh. I’ll edit my comment.

Also non scientific bodies have been chiming in to promote the theory. With the whole anti-China thing going on, it’s gotten a lot more traction that it should have. If the superstructure wants this idea to become mainstream, it can and did.
