The other side of the "reason" for it are the bureaucrats who approve the funding / steer the grants - they have equally insane reasons. Those people do it because they want to control flows of funds and no one will question funding that goes towards "pandemic prevention".

It doesn't need to actually prevent pandemics, merely be plausibly connected to implant fear in anyone approving the funding - "what if I cut this off and there is a pandemic?" One formula piece the press always produces is "budget cut causes disaster".

This is so attractive to the press that they'll produce this story even when there is no actual budget cuts - notice how you generally have an idea that every story will have a quote from an official about how "in these times of austerity / budge cuts"

In summary, the entire machine is insane and it is cut off from feedback because noticing the machine has done something insane is an anathematized position that puts the noticer outside the "mainstream".

Do you think it was the lab leak? Funny how the Biden admin. seems to be pointing in that direction, had Trump done it he would be a conspiracy theorist hehe

Yes. 17 months without finding an intermediate infectious agent in animals and the actual virus unable to infect bats are both very suspicious. No clue yet as to why USG would admit the truth though - I'm sure it will eventually become clear.
