This has been written about many times, in 2020, very convincingly in 2021 by Nicholas Wade (https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-the-clues-6f03564c038 https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-th...) and now. It will always be dismissed by those who have a political interest in seeing things differently. Authortiarianism and coordinated censorship between govs, big health and big tech made it so that anything countering the mandated narratives was heavily supressed and punished. That's why the online world and the real one varied, no matter how many names and attacks the "mono narrative" mob used against those of us who dissented. There will be no acknowledgement of the atrocities and human right abuses in the name of covid. No admission of guilt or bad faith. Just pretende that "we were wrong for the right reasons" and anyone who was right, if it's even admitted, "did so for the wrong reasons"

The fact that my comment gets downvoted with no reply is par for course. I know that HN etiquette will then complain and say "don't talk about downvotes" but that has been effectively another way to suppress dissent all along. Make dissent hard and when the barrier is still passed, make it hard to view, if you can't outright censor it. Now we also get SNL being able to "slightly criticize the narrative" when they were so for it for such a long time [1] although the link will still call it a conspiracy, the ever so useful label to anything that requires dismissal without arguments.
