“Laboratory leak” is only one half the question. Was the “leak” of a virus of purely natural origin, or did gain of function research create a new viral strain that never occurred naturally.? That is the real heart of the matter.

Another half of the question is ‘what are we going to do about it’ if it was a lab leak?
Well it was released by a lab and didn’t occur in nature before then, so that answers your question.
