“I haven’t written about lab leak theory since because the boring truth is that we don’t know where Covid-19 came from, we probably aren’t going to find out, and very little of consequence actually hinges on the answer.”
Two preprints point at the Huanan market, and the press is already treating them as the final word. That is the same overconfidence that dismissed the lab theory in 2020. The answer matters less than the policy anyway. Tighter rules on virus labs and live animal markets make sense either way.
