>Wuhan being the first laboratory to name SARS COV2 must have meant they created it
Wuhan was studying bat coronaviruses. Wuhan was working on modifying bar coronavirus before the pandemic. Wuhan deleted all its public databases related to coronavirus a few months before the pandemic was officialy "declared".
There are a lot of evidences that pointed and still point to a lab leak from Wuhan institute of virology.
According to the department of state today, a lab leak is the most likely explanation. "Conspiracy theorist" were 100% true about that.
