Take on the lab leak

I despise everything about Trump and his administration and felt that during the worst parts of the then largely unknown Coronavirus outbreak m they were gaslighting by pushing the responsibility onto China including dubbing it the "China Virus".   The anti China rhetoric was based on politics not science and inflamed tensions at the worst possible time.  

What I did believe then and still do now is that the idea of this coming from a live bat from a random fish market in the heart of China while the only level 4 virology center studying the most infections coronaviruses in China was in Wuhan was just a bit too coincidental.   Obviously we may never know exactly why and how this virus came to become the pandemic it is today but to dismiss the entirety of a possible lab leak seems naive.    

If it did originate in that lab it was likely leaked accidentally by sloppy handling but with the circumstantial evidence I do agree with Little Doocy that an independent forensics analysis needs to be made.
