Biolabs and genetic engineering are very recent developments for humans. It would not have been a possible orgin in the past but it is very possible now.

  You are mistaken. Bacteria and viruses have been under serious study in modern labs since the 1930s. Since that time there have been dozens and dozens of leaks of contagions. And bioengineering has existed since the early 1970s. The effort here is to try to show how unique the WIV is. But it isn't unique, it is a typical virology lab, just like all the other modern virology labs. There's really nothing there. But the Wuhan Fish Market is certainly ground zero for the pandemic, the infections maps prove it, and the unsanitary conditions at that wet market with people in close proximity to live wild animals is all that is needed to explain the pandemic. It is the simplest explanation. Nothing else is required to cause a pandemic other than people in close proximity to animals, and we know this because every other outbreak, epidemic and pandemic in the history of the Universe was caused in precisely the same way.
