Studies of coronaviruses in thousands of bats in Southeast Asia are identifying some very close genetic relatives to SARS-CoV-2.
Last year, researchers described another close relative of SARS-CoV-2, called RaTG13, which was found in bats in Yunnan. It is 96.1% identical to SARS-CoV-2 overall and the two viruses probably shared a common ancestor 40–70 years ago. BANAL-52 is 96.8% identical to SARS-CoV-2, says Eloit — and all three newly discovered viruses have individual sections that are more similar to sections of SARS-CoV-2 than seen in any other viruses.
Viruses swap chunks of RNA with one another through a process called recombination, and one section in BANAL-103 and BANAL-52 could have shared an ancestor with sections of SARS-CoV-2 less than a decade ago, says Spyros Lytras, an evolutionary virologist at the University of Glasgow. “These viruses recombine so much that different bits of the genome have different evolutionary histories,” he says.

Both the Lab-leak Hypothesis and the article's claims may be true. It's certainly not an either/or situation. Keep trying though.

The probabilities are hardly equal.
A Wuhan lab leak as the origin of this pandemic is not at all consistent with the available evidence and would be an unprecedented event in human history.
In contrast, a zoonotic origin is absolutely consistent with the available data and has countless precedent in the history of human infectious disease.
I think there has been enough propagation of lies and imbecilic conspiracy theories.

There is currently no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 has a laboratory origin.

Based on epidemiological data, the Huanan market in Wuhan was an early and major epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Two of the three earliest documented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases were directly linked to this market selling wild animals, as were 28% of all cases reported in December 2019 (World Health Organization, 2021). Overall, 55% of cases during December 2019 had an exposure to either the Huanan or other markets in Wuhan, with these cases more prevalent in the first half of that month (World Health Organization, 2021).
… If SARS-CoV-2 resulted from attempts to adapt a SARSr-CoV for study in animal models, it would likely have acquired mutations like N501Y for efficient replication in that model, yet there is no evidence to suggest such mutations existed early in the pandemic. Both the low pathogenicity in commonly used laboratory animals and the absence of genomic markers associated with rodent adaptation indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is highly unlikely to have been acquired by laboratory workers in the course of viral pathogenesis or gain-of-function experiments.
… As for the vast majority of human viruses, the most parsimonious explanation for the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is a zoonotic event. The documented epidemiological history of the virus is comparable to previous animal market-associated outbreaks of coronaviruses with a simple route for human exposure. The contact tracing of SARS-CoV-2 to markets in Wuhan exhibits striking similarities to the early spread of SARS-CoV to markets in Guangdong, where humans infected early in the epidemic lived near or worked in animal markets.
… There is currently no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 has a laboratory origin. There is no evidence that any early cases had any connection to the WIV, in contrast to the clear epidemiological links to animal markets in Wuhan, nor evidence that the WIV possessed or worked on a progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 prior to the pandemic.

I think there has been enough propagation of lies and imbecilic conspiracy theories. What is "imbecillic' is your refusal to rule out any chance of lab-leak, especially with how China has refused to cooperate fully to uncover the true origin of the virus. And the fact that the WHO continues to investigate China's role should put to rest any idea that the lab-leak hypothesis does not continue to be taken seriously.

No, imbecilic is advocating a lab-leak theory for which there is no evidence while ignoring the overwhelming evidence supporting zoonotic transfer.
This isn’t the first time local and national officials of the People’s Republic Of China have tried to minimize something they perceive as potentially embarrassing. But that isn’t evidence that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab in Wuhan.
