Ummm...just an observer on his couch with his popcorn here, based only on public knowledge...

we'll never prove it, but isn't it clear that the collaboration between Ecohealth and WIV was an intelligence operation to learn China's biowarfare capability, not science, and that the DEFUSE grant proposal was an intelligence work product?

This implies that the likely origin of Covid-19 was the US spread money and ego stroking around WIV in the course of this intelligence operation, and some junior researcher at WIV was thus resourced and encouraged to do the prestigious virology work putting the FCS in a bat virus...and just happened to do it at BSL2...so it leaked.

This is a made up story from my imagination, but fits the facts all too well.
