Lab leak theory is not "the truth". It's still very much a minority POV. And either way, it seems clear by now that the virus has originated in an animal reservoir and that similar things happen all the time.

In my experience, its very much not a minority POV. Almost no one I talk to thinks its a coincidence that a novel coronavirus with unique characteristics just so happened to pop up in a city with the only BSL-4 laboratory in hundreds of miles which works specifically with bat coronaviruses.

I don't think anyone reputable is saying that anything was intentionally released, but I think its quite obvious at this point that something was accidentally released and the CCP is very focused on covering it up to save face.
