I have a very strong hunch that COVID-19 originated from rookie mistakes related to research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Unfortunately, we do not have enough proof, and can never move past the wishy-washy phase of it's probable. The Chinese apparatus made sure to quell any source of information that might leak.
People declaring it as fact without referring to the unfortunate reality that China has cast a veil around the origins of the virus is not helping the cause of truth.
