>By your logic, we would never investigate any accident.

Where would you pull this from? You seem needlessly pointed in your reply here. I'm simply of the opinion that understanding the origin isn't all that useful.

Do you really think wuhan labs haven't revisited their safety protocols after being suspected of cv19 leaks? You seem to be of the impression that only if we prove the origin would any of those precautions be taken and that's simply not true, those precautions and revisiting procedures happened a long time ago.

Do you trust Boeing to revise their airplane safety systems after a crash? They surely will do an internal review and make changes.

Or do you appoint an independent investigator that issues mandatory changes and evaluates how they're implemented?

I do not trust China to revise their safety systems OR to follow the mandatory changes recommended by an independent investigator, making this entire conversation a wholly moot point.
Except the safety protocols would apply to similar labs worldwide. It's just a coincidence this started in China, a leak could happen anywhere.
