The stance of prominent natural #OriginOfCovid proponents:
Early 2020 - lab origin is a conspiracy theory, lab manipulation can be ruled out
Late 2020 - lab origin possible not plausible
2021 - lab origin plausible/should be investigated but not as likely as natural origin

My stance since early 2020:
Both natural and lab #OriginOfCovid plausible and should be investigated.
However, in late 2021, when more info emerged about research in Wuhan, my judgment is that the evidence now points more strongly towards a lab origin.

The one thing that has stayed constant over the past 2 years is natural origin proponents (scientists and journalists) accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist and spreading misinformation despite their own views slowly evolving over time to meet my stance.
It is dishonest to paint those consistently asking for a credible investigation into natural & lab #OriginOfCovid as spreaders of misinformation, when it was those casting a lab accident as a conspiracy theory who were the ones actually spreading misinformation.
Honesty would be natural origin proponents admitting their views have changed, they now agree both natural & lab #OriginOfCovid must be rigorously investigated...
... but they still hate the people who proved they were wrong to prematurely call one plausible hypothesis a conspiracy theory.
