Never forget that the lab leak was a “conspiracy theory” that the New York Times’ head Covid reporter called “racist.” If you think I’ll tire of recalling this, my friends, you are wrong.

it took time to corroborate the lab leak theory.

Researchers who knew about the Wuhan Institute of Virology and their work put two and two together and got the answer "Oh shit!" the moment news of the pandemic came out. It doesn't take a genius to realise that if you have an outbreak of a new respiratory coronavirus in a city containing a low biosecurity lab doing dangerous gain of function research on bat respiratory coronaviruses with high potential to infect humans, the two might be connected.

Unfortunately the Wuhan Institute, the Chinese government, and the people in the US government funding that GOF research in Wuhan have done everything possible to hide evidence which might clear it up one way or the other. So we're left with a mountain of circumstantial evidence which would be sufficient to conclude that the virus was a lab leak beyond all reasonable doubt, aside from a bunch of scientists closely associated with the Wuhan Institute (like Fauci and his cohort of followers) who are running interference with dubious Coincidence Theories.
