Studying the genomes of prehistoric pathogens lets us learn about one of the biggest selection cowtools that guided the evolution of humans.

Yeah, sure, the lab that was studying the disease that crippled the world for 2 years wasnt the issue, it was someone eating a bat a half mile from the lab.

We didn't need a lab for the multiple 1300s bubonic plagues, or the 1918 great influenza.
Nobody claimed SARS-1 came from a lab. Covid-19 was a less deadly but more infectious version of SARS-1, and was also named SARS-2. We watched it mutate into several strains, because that's what viruses do.
You don't need a lab or human motivation for a global pandemic.

You dont need it, but it sure helps the pandemic along when you have one. Theres plenty of articles that have come out within the last 6 months admitting that it started fromntheblab leak in wuhan.

The Senate minority (entirely politically Republican) report said "we know that SARS-1 was definitively proven to be transmitted naturally from animals to humans, but we are making scientists prove it did again for Covid-19, because we think something fishy went on."
Believe me, I think we should end all commerce, cooperation, and communication with China and nuke them back to the stone age, but the discussion and beliefs around Covid got so r-slurredly political that you can point to any news/gov publication these days and guess their conclusion 100% of the time based on their party.
