OP's link is fascinating. It is interesting to see that there is strong evidence for a lab leak leading to a pandemic at least once in the past. I think it is striking how clear cut the evidence for this is: a strain absent for 30 years suddenly reappears. Lab leak isn't the only possibility, but at least it makes the most sense here. I don't think we have the same evidence for COVID.
