Some do not want to accept that assumption because it interfers with their favorite COVID narrative that the virus was never lethal or infectuous.

While there is mounting evidence for gain of function experimentation be the source for the virus, it’s still not enough to justify some types of retaliation. And, by all accounts, if Wuhan was the source, releasing the virus had a huge impact upon China. Often overlooked about biological weapons is they have a tendency to catch those that launch the attack in the backblast. IOW, they can be more dangerous to attacker than the defender.
China could lose 50,000,000 people and not blink. In fact, I bet the Chinese government would love to see that happen with their older population.
The release was in October 2019. It was hidden from most on the planet. Americans were exposed before the end of 2019, with many exhibiting symptoms that would later be associated to COVID-19. But those individuals were called liars when stating they caught COVID-19 in 2019 because it didn't come to the US until 2020. Also another lie.
With so much deception and lies, why are you so willing to believe what our government and the worldwide medical groups are telling us?
