It wasn't just the White House though. The whole reason there is this resurgence of the issue 18 months after the fact is that all of the people asking the question who weren't Donald Trump crazy, were treated like they were.
I genuinely worry about all the people that believed it was a conspiracy theory, and still think they are on team science. They aren't.

It keeps being asked for the same reason that 9/11 truthers came into existence: because the idea that bad things can happen randomly to good people is a more scary idea then the one that bad things happen because someone planned for them to. "It escaped from a lab" is an appealing idea because the very next conclusion will be "there should be no more virus labs!". Zoological origins, like SARS, or Swine Flu before it, offers no solutions - it's an ongoing problem.
