Unless they have antibodies for Covid-19 you point is moot.

Not at all.

My point is these are processes that are happening as we speak and have been happening for decades, if not forever, and that, specifically, SARS/MERS-like virii seem to be out there and interacting with humans "in the wild".

That's why I think that arguing about this lab is irrelevant and just a political 'weapon'.

No one argues that it is impossible for the virus to emerge from the natural causes. It is equally possible that emerged from the lab, there might be a variety of reasons for that, say similar to pilot-suicides: a disgruntled employee took it out of lab or something. There is nothing political in such a hypothesis; quite opposite, to accuse people who consider it probable of some political motivation is political by itself (based upon hatred of Trump for example).
