Origin is as good as conclusive. These lab-leak conspiracy theories are nothing but crackpot anti-asian racism, and have been from the beginning. Covid had a natural origin and spread from a wet market in Wuhan. We know this.

There are some missing pieces, such as how long the virus had been circulating in bats, which other animals it had crossed over, were there unidentified cases in humans in China before the Wuhan wet-market spread? etc. But one thing is for sure, this virus was not made in a lab, and Chinese scientists did not do anything to cause it’s spread.
