Presumably finding unbiased people is impossible. Trump latched on to calling it the "China virus" because he knew it would feed into nationalism/separatism and harm Chinese imports. All countries are involved in global trade; at this level of importance most people could be influenced.

As far as finding frozen samples, you'd also need verifiable documentation, presumably, otherwise we wouldn't know if it were a zoonotic sample ... so we wouldn't know if it were a wild origin, or a lab-captured origin?

If it were a lab-release, was it accidental or the actions of some other nation wanting to harm China.

It seems to me that conclusion people want is quite possibly not out there.

Yep, all we can do is estimate probabilities with the extremely limited data on hand.
