Bret and wife were lovely guests, their vaccine take is poo poo, but the lab escape hypothesis is actually a lot more likely than we were originally shown:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/coronavirus-lab-escape-theory.html

A lot of people hear lab escape and think it means lab created. There is clear evidence the virus was not created in a lab. There is no evidence (either way) it wasn't a natural virus being studied in the lab, possibly in gain-of-function experiments, that escaped. In that scenario, an escaped natural virus is indistinguishable from a virus that came directly from the wild.

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter if it did or didn't other than the conversation we should be having about what bio-labs are allowed to do and their poo poo safety record. That article has some very scary data points about just how many accidents these labs see all over the world every year. Eventually, one is going to escape whether covid did or not.
