I don't really believe the narrative that the virus jumped from the lab, but to play devils advocate: The proper allegation is that there was a program based on funding to perform gain of function research which included taking bat coronaviruses and infecting groups of intermediate animals with them to see if certain mutations were likely or problematic.

Odd to others that some people assume research implies man made. Accidents can happen with naturally evolved viruses as well.

There are odd features with the covid genome that make it seem more than just a bat bites researcher scenario.

I agree, but nothing that is smoking gun caliber where all scientists agree the genome is engineered. My point was merely casting the widest net on research possibly being to blame, which could include many more scenarios than bat bites and GOF experiments.

There's some odd stuff though this time though for example this story https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6160720369001
