This is nothing but projection. One of the reasons to be cautious about viral origin theories is how badly wrong they often are. When AIDS first appeared everyone knew that rampant gay sex in coastal cities explained both cause and spread. Later previous infections in the Caribbean kept the basic theory and changed the geographic profile. Only much later were we able to make a solid connection between HIV and bushmeat. This framing of the lab leak theory is essentially the same as people in the early 1980s saying the only reason to question the gay sex in cities theory was because of sympathy toward gay people, but the truth turns out to be both something else and quite relevant. Right now we have the same option to get the origin of SARS-CoV2 completely wrong and waste a lot of money and effort while also hurting people. Wouldn't it make more sense to be cautious about the research based on previous experience instead of charging forward based on the idea that narrative fit is more important than science?
