>I personally don't care whether the virus was man-made or natural

That's really surprising to me, because in my opinion the answer truly does matter, and sticking my head in the sand feels defeatist. I suppose that's a difference of opinions, though.

I guess it's a natural human reaction when something reflects badly on you. I never cared about it anyway, it doesn't really matter, etc.
How does it really matter though? What are in the Western world going to do in retaliation? Are we going to start a war with China over their bio-lab programs?

I’m seriously baffled how people say this.

It’s it obvious that if true then BSL4 virology and gain of function work needs international supervision and agreement for humanity.
