Noone’s talking about lab creation, but rather the fact the research institution in question specializes in virology. So they would go into the field(/bat caves in this case) to collect virus samples to bring back to the lab in Wuhan to study (as that’s literally their job).
Mistakes happen, and a researcher could have simply been infected by one of these collected samples before going onto infect other people.
In that case, I don’t see how that’s the striking condemnation of China that Western media makes the lab theory out to be. The virus is still of entirely natural origin, and it was spread inadvertently. Maybe in that case you could make the argument that the lab and/or the workers responsible should bear responsibility and that it was negligence as opposed to a freak accident, but usually when Westerners talk about the lab theory they think “China was researching COVID specifically to destroy the world REEEEE”
Somehow it had to make the jump to humans and human to human transmission
Could the fact that it could naturally infect humans not be the reason they were studying it? I mean, we only have circumstantial evidence for a lab leak so it seems like jumping the gun to try and come up with theories on the details anyway.

Here’s the news that broke earlier this week:
The reality is that right now: noone knows which theory is correct.

Well, I just read this article by Daily Mail, so we’ll have to see what the research says when it’s published.

Because I’ve heard all the arguments the West has against them, and they’re all either without sufficient evidence or blatantly false.
You’ve probably seen these debunk lists floating around this site, maybe even posted by me, in case you haven’t, bam and bam.

Workers from the lab could have sold the experiment animals on the market to scrap a few yuans
