  Conclusive? No. But like tire tracks leading to a pulverized deer in the middle of the road, you can see the signs clearly.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9348752/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9348752/ there's evidence to suggest that there were two separate events from different strains at the start of the pandemic this doesn't disprove the lab leak theory, but then they would have to be studying two separate very related strains and it would be strange if they just kept leaking different strains You could, of course, take it as proof that the lab leak happened at around the same time as lineage B, while lineage A is from bats
