If that's the case why are you so against the lab leak hypothesis? Both lab and natural have zero direct evidence. Both lab and natural's main arguments were first pointed out in early 2020

Am I "so against" a lab leak or do I consider a natural spillover a more likely scenario that we need convincing evidence to discard?
