lol OK I'll bite.

No way a lab funding gain of research function funded by an embarrassed US government and scientific community (many of which vocal in decrying the obvious fact of a lab origin - surprise pikachu face) into the same virus using live bats transported from hundreds of miles away at the same location as the outbreak was discovered could have been involved. It must have somehow been transmitted naturally to other animal and then to humans. Absolutely impossible and preposterous to suggest someone connected to the lab could have transmitted it to any of those animals at the market in the same city as the lab? Just cause we've discovered humans transmitting it to pets that's obviously not connected.

    If an investigation of the lab found no evidence of a leak, the scientists involved would simply be accused of hiding the relevant material.

[...]

    The incessant blame game and finger pointing has reduced the chances of finding viral origins even further.

Yeah but no way the immaculate and trustworthy CCP could have had any hand in burying and destroying evidence, bleaching the market, destroying all the animals " increasing public safety but hampering origin hunting. ", delaying, blocking, controlling and interfering with investigations?

    The acrid stench of xenophobia lingers over much of this discussion

Smacks so heavily of CCP propaganda I doubt they could have written it better themselves.

I'm not implying he's been influenced at all, but he's definitely a paid CCP shill.

Update:

A much better summary than I could muster - on twitter
