Not exactly. Scientists have always conceded that #lableak was *possible.* The problem is, it was never very plausible compared to a natural origin for #SARSCoV2. It tended to be dismissed for other reasons, too.

Basically, from the very beginning, the arguments made in favor of #lableak tended to range from appeals to ignorance to risible misunderstandings of molecular biology and evolution to outright conspiracy theories. And nothing has changed. sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-origin-of-…
Zoonotic transfer has occurred many times and caused a number of pandemics. It just requires nature to be nature and do what it's always done. #lableak, OTOH, requires a massive cover-up by a vast network of scientists, civilians, and government officials. massivesci.com/articles/sars-…
Again, #lableak is *possible*. It's just that, based on existing evidence understanding of pandemics, #COVID19, and other coronaviruses, it's just not very *plausible* or likely compared to a natural origin for #SARSCoV2.
