The theory that Covid was naturally occurring is also a theory. A true scientist wouldn’t reject a theory out of hand because the theory calls into question finding and research priorities of the scientists doing the rejecting. A lot of this theory rejection isn’t about science but about CYA.

Evolution is also a theory right?

To reject natural origin of COVID you need a lot of research and hard data. Memos and journalists investigations aren’t that.

Equating man made and natural origin as two equally valid theories is just dishonest.
