I know a lot of people are in shock hearing that the lab leak hypothesis was plausible all along.

For those truly trying to understand what has happened over 2020, what the circumstantial evidence is for lab vs natural origin, please read these articles:

I'm seeing a lot of "Where is the evidence?" questions.

That's exactly right.

Where is the evidence for a natural origin or a lab origin?

We need a credible investigation of #OriginsOfCovid

I'm also seeing a lot of "But asking if Covid-19 came from a lab leak would've fueled racism" from some scientists and journalists.

Ok, got it. I respect your POV. Please respect my POV that we need to investigate to safeguard against a future pandemic that kills millions.

In the same vein, I'm seeing "But asking if Covid-19 came from a lab will shake the public's trust in science and vaccines."

Agree to disagree. I think the better approach is to be more transparent and foster more scientist <> non-scientist conversations.

I better throw this in for good measure:
