China makes its play for Canada

It was very apparent you were firmly arguing here in 2020 that the wet market was where the virus jumped to humans.
You have definitely been trying to dismiss the idea and anyone who presents the idea that it was a lab leak ever since.

Either we all don't know or you know for sure that it was the wet market. I'm pretty sure it can't be both.

We don't.
The wet market is still the version with the most evidence supporting it.

But your point seems to be "we know it is the lab because China acted sketchily", which makes no sense, since they acted sketchily about the wet market as well.

Nobody supporting the wet market explanation is saying "We know because China is trustworthy and we love China".

I think the evidence is overwhelmingly in support of it being a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Fourth, the evidence supporting that COVID-19 came from an animal at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan is tenuous. 26 Dr. Chan points of that “the existing genetic and early case data show that all known COVID-19 cases probably stem from a single introduction of SARS-CoV-2 into people, and the outbreak at the Wuhan market probably happened after the virus had already been circulating in humans.”27 Furthermore, no infected animal has been verified at the Wuhan market or its supply chain.28

Finally, key evidence that would be expected if the virus had emerged from the wildlife trade is still missing.29 In previous outbreaks, such as SARS in 2002 and MERS in 2012, infected animals were found, the earliest cases occurred in people exposed to live animals, and ancestral variants of the virus found in animals were discovered, but none of this evidence has been discovered for COVID-19.30

I suggest you read the published papers of Dr. Li Meng Yan who has been screaming from the rooftops since the start of the pandemic that definitely "did not emerge naturally in a spillover from animals."

I'm sure you do.

Yes, I am aware of Bannon and Guo's campaign.
