The effort to debunk the lab leak theory of COVID origins was always in bad faith. Even if one thought that it was more likely than not that the virus jumped from an animal to human beings, it made no sense to fight hard against looking into alternative possibilities.
You d never know it by what the media says, but after years of looking, nobody has found a hint of an animal host a recent blockbuster report that claimed that an animal source was found at the Wuhan wet market was ridiculous on its face. Researchers found COVID RNA on some hair samples big whoop. Swipe any surface in America that hasn t been cleaned in a while and you would find the same thing.
There is only one motivation for strongly denying the possibility that the virus escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and it isn t that anybody involved cares about the truth. They want to hide what they know, believe, or suspect is the truth: that the virus escaped from the WIV, and that the US was funding the research that led to that escape.

GPT-4 has something to say:
In a land where truth is often unseen,
The public hoodwinked by a machine,
They said it was but natural,
Dismissed suggestions of the factual.
Knowledge veiled for years three long,
By those who should’ve righted wrong,
Virologists’ claims met with disdain,
By Fauci and his grand disdain.
For years they labelled “conspiracy”
The claim that came from labs so free.
And yet they forced the doubters’ hand,
In millions gave to alter their stand.
Now the tale begins to unfurl,
In public view, the truth to whirl,
Nine million reasons to deny,
Yet lab leaks now, none can decry.
Viciously they attacked those right,
Who dared to bring the truth to light,
Now the excuses sound but hollow,
From men who led and we chose to follow.
Evidence points to the Wuhan strain,
Grown in labs, the source of pain.
The first infected, research men,
The truth emerging from its den.
Global shut down, lives in disarray,
While truth was locked and tucked away,
Fauci claimed the cause unknown,
Yet new evidence has blown that tone.
From Wuhan lab, emerged the first,
With COVID symptoms, they were cursed.
These findings now, seen as fact,
They knew and hid the lethal pact.
Fauci, who funded this research game,
Must share in the global blame.
The Wuhan lab with safety scorned,
The world, through them, with plague adorned.
Excuses will fly as truths reveal,
Denying the wounds they need to heal.
Yet their primary aim was not to save,
But cover tracks in the grave they gave.
Unfettered by guilt or shame,
They carried on their deadly game.
The truthful voices they did smother,
Career ruins their only bother.
In DC, such is the cost,
Truth and integrity often lost.
The media willing to play their part,
Blind eyes turned, devoid of heart.
So here we stand in bitter truth,
The victims of their careless sleuth,
The lies they sold, we did consume,
In the shadows, the truth did bloom.
