Well yeah of course everybody in the CIA thinks it was a lab leak. They would probably tell you its a CCP Chineeeeeze weapon to ENSLAVE THE WHITE MAN. This is one of those CIA stories that they totally made up just so they can have everybody repeat the opinions of a bunch of creepy Christian fascist weirdos.

What I don’t get is why did almost everyone in government and media try so hard to prove it wasn’t a lab leak? Wouldn’t it serve their hegemonic goals to have Americans think the evil CCP is making bioweapons and simultaneously organizationally incompetent because communism?

While I acknowledge I am not smart enough to have an informed opinion on this subject, I’ve read stuff on both sides of the argument that make sense to me. The overwhelming effort to shout down anyone saying it was a lab leak makes me skeptical of the natural origin narrative.
