The lab theory has essentially been debunked.

Why Confirming The Origin of COVID-19 Matters

Quote:
Three-quarters of the early cases had some association with the market and none had an association with the laboratory. Even though the market and the laboratory are both in Wuhan, they are in different parts of the city separated by a river.

There were also other indicators: There were two lineages—or two separate variants—of SARS-CoV-2 that were circulating in the early days of the pandemic. One of those became the pandemic [as we know it] and the other one died out.

But [the existence of two lineages] would mean that there would have to have been two introductions from a laboratory, versus an outbreak going on among animals and then spilling over multiple times to people.

But I understand how it works... if you don't see it, it doesn't exist - it's fake news - and you can sit and fold your arms and hold your breath.

Took about a minute to find it

An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID-19 Pandemic
I made none of the accusations you mentioned but why get offended for someone asking for the original document. Better to read the legitimate source and get an opinion rather than be sways by some rag newspaper.

Another point: if Chinese researchers were so skilled with virus manipulation that they were able to deliberately engineer COVID to behave the way it did, why is the Sinovac vaccine so much less effective? The reason China still has zero COVID policies is because their vaccine isn't that effective. If I'm sophisticated enough to develop a bioweapon, I develop the countermeasure before I release it into the wild.

Also if I were a nefarious CCP apparatchik stroking his fu manchu and strategizing how to get maximum effect from this bioweapon, why would I release it in Wuhan? Why not release it in, say, Atlanta or Reston?

Because it's not a bioweapon. It's an accident.
Unless the release was intentional by someone inside having their reasons. Like our post 9/11 Anthrax scares. But I agree. If lab based, a state supported release is highly unlikely.

Our virologists need to up their game, since if that's the best they can do, they're worthless.

China never deserved any benefit of the doubt. That kind of trust is earned.
China doesn't needs to earn anything from the US....don't make the US out to be so important.

That's cute misnaming of Biden. However, the report is no bombshill:

The top Republican on the Senate health committee said in a report on Thursday that the coronavirus pandemic was most likely caused by a laboratory incident in China. The report offered little new evidence, however, and was disputed by many scientists, including those whose research suggests that the outbreak originated instead at a live animal market.

The report, released by Senator Richard M. Burr, Republican of North Carolina, grew out of a joint inquiry with the committee’s Democratic chairwoman that proponents of the effort hoped would add a measure of bipartisan credibility to a highly charged debate. But the findings published on Thursday, while interim, bore only Mr. Burr’s signature. And in relying largely on existing public evidence, rather than new or classified information, the report came as something of a letdown even to those who supported its conclusions.

Nice try, but a miss.
