There is no evidence for the lab leak theory. Even if it was a lab leak, I think it’s fairly uncontroversial that the null hypothesis cannot be that there was a lab leak. So the burden of proof lies on proving the lab leak. And there is very little to no evidence that it was other than “here’s a few unlikely things that happened”. However, if we used that standard to examine airplane crashes, for example, accidental airplane crashes wouldn’t exist. Because for an airplane crash to happen a lot of highly unlikely things need to go wrong in highly unlikely ways at the same time. Similarly for a once in a century global pandemic to happen, a lot of things need to go wrong in a lot of unexpected ways.
