I'm very, very glad that TWIV gets the obvious strawman out of the way immediately.
Very few experts - I can't think of any off the top of my head - are claiming that SARS2 was completely, magically designed from no similar virus in nature.

At the ~32:47 min mark, TWIV says "the dialogue has slowly shifted from it was made in a lab.. now it escaped.. How do we deal with that?"
I was surprised because in their June 2020 podcast, their guest says lab escape is a classic conspiracy theory.
