The other side of the problem is that humans do not want to admit that they are afraid of death and change. Blaming lab leak for the pandemic gives them the feeling of control and safety. They would rather have the belief that this was human caused rather than natural as they cant control a natural disaster.

Ya, it's the same thing behind a lot of conspiracy theories. 911 was an inside job because people don't want to accept that a small contingent of lightly funded terrorists could pull off something so devastating. Or that mass shootings are staged because people don't want to believe that someone could be so murderous.
