We have hospitalization records of lab staff, which Trump kne about and was later declassified. We have e-mail evidence of lab employees explicitly asking reporters not to report on the potential. And we have a novel virus that appeared centered around a biomedical research lab doing gain of function research on closely related viruses. Simply due to the level of accusation and its implications, the claim deserved investigation from day one not out of hand dismissal. Imagine if someone is found with a gun right next to a shooting scene, and everyone around you insisted that he certainly could not be the one who did any wrong because... racism or something. And then later on, you find that that guys friends spoke privately with the police and asked them not to conduct an investigation. Shouldn't that arouse suspicion in normal people?
