There has been plenty of evidence from day 1 for a lab leak. The mainstream media simply told everybody what to believe, and believe it they did. The mainstream media is a powerful tool for controlling the minds of people.

What happened in the US is that because Trump supported the theory, nobody was able to think clearly about it.

Somehow, supporting the lab leak theory became the same as supporting Trump. Somehow, the theory got politicized, and most people are so deeply identified with their preferred political party that they can’t think clearly about anything.
