Truth is there was never a problem with the lab escape idea. Problem was that it was first brought to main stream by Alt-Right / MAGA crowd and sadly in the current (or at least in that time's) political climate if we disagree with even one thing everything you say has to be treated as information hazard of the most toxic nature. Left is not alone in this, it goes both ways. No matter how good points the other side is making since we disagree on which old guy should sit in the White house we have to disagree on everything else as well.
