I think it's because people sense there's a big lie being perpetrated, and they want the truth. Or that they really hope there is no lie and people (especially scientists!) are always good and innocent afterall. The article itself obviously takes sides, so I won't ask inconvenient questions like how the virus got from Laos to Wuhan more plausibly than from the two labs there. One of which is right across from the seafood market, where lab workers presumably would have shopped, as well as at other markets.

The only reason why the closest related coronavirus besides RaTG13 was found in Laos is due to the fact no researchers are allowed to sample any caves in Yunnan china due to government ban. And all research done by Chinese scientists must be reviewed and approved prior to publishing. One thing I wish could be shared would be the formally publicly accessible viral database the lab had taken down in September of 2019 and refuses to share with anyone even scientists behind closed doors. Right now RaTG13 is the only known virus closest to SARS-COV-2 but no one is allowed to check and verify.
