> If it was a lab leak there will be no accountability anyway.

There hopefully would be accountability from those in the west who did their best to crush any dissenting voices from even questioning the origins.

I take no stance on this and don't consider myself informed enough to have an opinion but I will say that even asking the question two years ago made people treat you like a moon landing denier.

I'd argue that response to crush the line of questioning at all is bad regardless of the true origin of the virus but if it did turn out to be a lab leak of some sort then hopefully it would spur all the academics, media pundits, and average joes who shouted down anyone asking questions to reevaluate their approach to topics like this.
