I admit is possible, but the evidence so far makes it very unlikely. I think right now the efforts should be centered on controlling the pandemic, placing blames with inconclusive evidence only serves to politicize the issue, and politics can ruin everything they touch. By all means the investigation should go on until there's concrete evidence, so any wrongdoing can be sanctioned. And I mean ALL wrongdoing, both from hypothetical leaks to domestic mishandling of public health.

The evidence actually shows that a natural evolution is unlikely, or hard to explain. I agree that there should be a focus on controlling the pandemic, but that does not mean we should punt origins investigations off into the unknown future, to be swept under the carpet. The evidence is right there in the genetic sequence. We have the capacity to analyze it, and in the case of Omicron, it's quite stark.
