To whose satisfaction? Scientifically? It seems possible if the evidence still exists or could be found, based on a few of the other comments here. Politically? The faction that will never be satisfied, parted company with the scientific community, before the pandemic was even on the horizon. As a scientist, I would have been OK with learning about the hypothesis from a credible source and letting it play out. I would have been OK with letting the public know about it. However, realistically, good faith investigation of the hypothesis would have been utterly drowned out by hysterically amplified versions of the same hypothesis that were already in circulation.
