Not “dunking.” Unless by dunking you mean coolly considering the scientific evidence as it is developed. That evidence might change as the science advances, but there is very little reason *at this point* to believe that is the case. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/theory-that-coronavirus-escaped-from-a-lab-lacks-evidence-67229 …

One, that confuses "it was created in a lab" with "it was studied in a lab & accidentally released from one." Two, if two opposing possibilities both lack direct evidence, we should consider the circumstantial evidence. There's also no direct evidence of the wet-market theory.

I thought the evidence showed pretty conclusively it did not come from the wet market?

I'm being generous here. Yes, the circumstantial evidence points fairly strongly away from the wet market theory. Which makes it more likely that its origin was an accidental lab release.
