There was massive evidence that the virus stemmed from the Wuhan lab since January 2020, publicly available since at least March 2020. I found 3 separate lab reports that all stated that the virus had been manipulated.
Tim Pool already pointed to the obvious fact that the outbreak happened just next to the Wuhan lab and that no animal had been identified as source of the virus.
The reason they managed to lie for so long is because most people don't pay attention to the relevant information.
