Origins are not scientifically insignificant they are a very important part of figuring out how to better predict and prevent future occurrences. In particular they tell us where earlier detection failed. Origin research would be occurring in earnest regardless of whether or not it were something various people wanted to use politically, you just wouldn't hear about it because nobody would be putting it in the news.
Well actual scientists don't seem to be falling for the grift en masse yet, so specifically looking at consensus of experts and not journalists with an axe to grind seems promising.
Yeah I can't say I follow that logic either. I thought I was on the other covid news thread of the day tbh. I think that one was much more thorough in giving an argument against the lab leak theory. This in particular is written weird, and is about a study that hasn't gone to peer review yet.

I mean scientist is unlikely to go into wet market, but sure, it’s inherently disprovable theory
