Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory?

As I said before the evidence is circumstantial.  If you want to hear what it partly consists of then listen to the Lex Freidman interview posted earlier in the thread.  Warning, it's about 5 hours long.

I did and it was innuendo and misinformation and really rather poor

@Golden Duck No, I’m not a virologist. I can say that I don’t agree the best way  is by making viruses unable to infect humans expert at doing so.

And how do you know they can't infect humans? You claim unable to infect humans.

Nature didn’t make the virus its man made. Nature has made other types of coronavirus but not COVID-19 its genetically altered by humans. A lab leak is one idea. But I’m thinking it was intentionally released by China. One day it will be proven.

There is zero evidence of his being a virus altered by humans.

Clearly, you are just making that up.

Am I allowed an opinion in your little world?

Also, when you quote the alleged misinformation include a time stamp please.

If I can but in, @OverSword gave an answer to my question.  If I understand him correctly he is just expressing a general, and common, apprehension to GM.

I don't recall that he has tried to answer the question that is core to this topic, nor has he poo-pooed one.

ETA.  OS gave an answer to the OP in post #2.

There is zero scientific evidence to indicate this is an engineered virus.

There lots of information, and circumstantial evidence, that Suggests this escaped from the Wuhan lab though.

But no direct evidence. Just a bunch of coincidences that are very interesting in the Other lack of evidence, of it being naturally developed.

Such as China tested 8000 animals in the region,  that might harbor the virus, and zero of them had anything close.

Now we'll never know, so let's get Fauci.
