One year ago, any lab-based hypothesis of the #OriginOfCOVID19 was widely reported to be a debunked conspiracy theory propagated by d/misinformants.
Today some scientists are still arguing about how likely/unlikely a lab origin is, but this will no longer stop an investigation.

What separates scientists now is not how (un)likely they think a lab leak is. Some of the Science letter signatories think a natural origin is most likely but they’re still calling for an investigation.
Rather than pointlessly argue %s, let’s unite and call for an investigation.
