Trying to better under the origins of a global pandemic is not an inconsequential endeavor.


That’s not what people are doing, they are trying to prove a lab leak theory, else all this effort would be in “how’d it get to that wet market” if you can’t answer that, then you do not have a logical chain to its true origin lab leak or not.


How have you justified deciding that the only important question for anyone to answer is why it was in the wet market? What's the case for that?

It wasn't exclusively in the wet market, it was in lots of places.


Because right now that is the origin point. But we also know it was there for quite some time before it hopped to humans. It wasn't in a lot of places... it was just at the wet market as far as we know, we have no earlier outbreaks than that.
