Remapping reality onto politics may be fun and emotionally satisfying, but it is also extremely dangerous. Scientific investigation shows not only that SARS-CoV2 came from bats, but that we should expect more viral outbreaks as human contact with wild animal populations continues to increase. The Chinese Communist Party could continue to run wild with their worst behavior and still never come close to the threat that nature itself holds over us.

I agree with your desire to draw conclusions only on an evidentiary basis, but technically there is a logical flaw in your way of thinking:

If I isolate a virus from a bat in a laboratory, and then that virus escapes my laboratory (could be due to poor disposal of specimens, inadequate disinfection procedures for employees, etc -- not necessarily intentional), it would be both true that the virus came from bats and that the virus came from my laboratory.

I'm not saying that the virus came from the Wuhan lab. I'm just saying that "it clearly came from bats" does not preclude the possibility that the virus was stored in (or spread from) a particular laboratory.

The linked statement doesn't deny that the virus came from bats, it just suggests that scientists may have been working with bats, and then one of the studied viruses escaped:

"Scientists in China have researched animal-derived coronaviruses under conditions that increased the risk for accidental and potentially unwitting exposure."
