You're right. It's highly suspicious, but it's just that and the problem is that the lab leak theory has many ramifications that are net negative for everyone: was it intentional, was it preventable, was it modified to test bioweapons, was it financed by France (yes, in France, we're not so hot about discussing our own little responsibility in building that lab). I think if it was a clear-cut case of manipulation screwup, and that some people in China know today for sure that it was, we'll know eventually when we care less. If nobody, even close to the lab in China, knows for sure, then we probably won't investigate more just in case we'd discover with horror we killed all these people.
