The Lab-Leak Theory Has Always Been The Most Plausible Hypothesis

As I've maintained pretty much since the beginning. 
   "Pretty much" because actually, there have been a few brief windows, after the release of new studies and information, during which it wasn't clear which hypothesis was mostly likely. But all of the attempts to push the zoonotic hypothesis turned out to be...well, attempts to push the zoonotic hypothesis.
   Refusal to acknowledge that the lab-leak theory was most likely has almost always been Lysenkoism, so far as I can tell--i.e., political correctness in science. For whatever reason, the LLH was deemed un-PC...probably because (a) the left basically likes China...seemingly as a part of its Russophobia, (b) Trump said that China did it, and (c) TEH RAZIZM!!!!
   (c) is just another instance of the left's free-form, improvisational theory of racism, according to which x is racist if anyone on the left gets at least a fleeting impression that maybe (i) there is something bad about x and (ii) x has something to do with race, but (iii) x is not about Caucasians / whites.
   Basically, the left cannot separate out political questions from questions of fact...and so it has adopted the theory that these cannot be seperated..in fact, it has a problem distinguishing all sorts of questions. Thus it can't recognize/acknowledge that these are different questions:
(1) Did a Chinese lab leak the Wuhan virus?
(2) Is it bad that the Chinese lab leaked the Wuhan virus?
(3) Are Chinese people bad?
So if you think that the answer to (1) is in the affirmative, to the progressive mind, that means that you think that the answer to (2) is in the affirmative, which means you think that the answer to (3) is in the affirmative as well.
   So if you believe the LLH, you're a razizt, bro.
