I think you’re answering a different question from the one Brendan asked.
You’re answering “Why do you think COVID-19 escaped from a lab?”.
Brendan was asking “Conditional on COVID-19 having escaped from a lab, why do you think it was created there rather than being a natural virus they were studying in that lab?”.
Conditional on COVID-19 having escaped from a lab, why do you think it was created there rather than being a natural virus they were studying in that lab?

I don’t have a strong opinion on that question.
