"According to the newly received wisdom, anyone who hadn’t suspected a lab leak all along was either a CCP stooge or painfully obtuse..." Huh? I am open to the lab-leak hypothesis, have friends who believe even the bioweapon version, and even I don't know anyone who thinks this. Perhaps someone does somewhere, but "newly received wisdom" implies that it is the standard belief. I think the more widely shared belief is that it is difficult to trust any industry to investigate itself, and so it is difficult to trust the virus-research community to come to the conclusion "we have investigated ourselves, and found ourselves not at fault".
