Its realism not defeatism, thats how global politics work.
The fact it was a leak or not doesn't change the fact the virus is out. Thats the bottom line.
There is no recourse, no fallout, no repercussions to going after china without solid evidence. "Shrug and deny" is all you will acheive.
There are photos and evidence of china trying to wipe Uighur culture via violence, slave labour and 're-education' camps at nazi scale.
Worldwide reaction - oh its terrible you should stop, please - nothing changes.
Besides, how are you going to go about proving it was leaked/engineered? The officials probably already disappeared all witnesses/evidence anyway.
The reality is we will never know for sure.
Its very suspicious, that the virus started pretty much next to the lab. I myself 70% on side it was actually a leak (wouldn't be surprised a tested animal was smuggled out to be sold for meat - sounds very chinese thing to do). But it doesnt matter, virus is out and thats my main problem.
