In the 5y since the pandemic started no proof of a lab leak has turned up. The existence of these covid viruses was already known in the nearby bat population and even zoonosed to humans a few times.
This is entirely contrary to your false claims that scientists couldn’t find a link between animals and covid. So yes, it is the point. Lableak was a theory at the start one I even hypothesized myself. However, the data has consistently shown otherwise so unless new data gives the hypothesis any credence it is only political propaganda to give any credibility to the leak theory.
I think the intercept did a good story on the lab leak theory. It’s more broadly focused on gain of function research. you can read the transcript or listen to the podcast here
