Of course the lab leak origin is probably accurate, it appeared right in the vicinity of the lab and is the exact thing they were studying. This shouldn't be controversial, it shouldn't have been politicized to the point where the truth matters far less than whose narrative it supports. We should have taken it as an accident, learned lessons, improved processes, and moved on. Instead we tore ourselves apart, and now we're back to playing nuclear Russian roulette, with maybe half the chambers loaded this time. Good job humans.
