The amount of evidence in the ProPublica article/senate report is quite staggering. What's interesting is that it's clear that US intelligence knew it was a lab leak very early on. Trump's comment makes that clear: In April 2020, Trump declared at a press conference that COVID-19 — or “kung flu,” as he soon began calling it — had come from a lab in China. When pressed on the evidence for this claim, he declared: “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.” So he had been briefed with secret intel he wasn't allowed to repeat, probably NSA intercepts of some kind. And yet despite this clear statement, it was immediately censored all over the place by tech workers and others who thought they were better than the general public at knowing what's true and also better at it than a US President with access to secret intelligence reports.
