However the official position of the US federal government is now that a lab leak is possible and hasn't been disproven.

How many people were banned from social media for critical thinking? I'd be willing to bet if anyone was banned, they were actually stating as fact that there was a lab leak and then would bury people with tons of low quality "evidence".
Can you link this exact quote from a source: "There's no way it was leaked from a lab"? I don't think anyone reasonable was absolutely certain. Very early on there was an article in Nature saying they didn't believe it could have come from a lab (which i disagreed with).
