No sure why it is a big deal? Some people (like Cotton) said that the virus escaped a Chinese lab, but had not hard proofs. Lots of scientists said there are no hard proofs. Then we moved on... until we get more proofs.
Anybody can claim anything including truth, but until it is proven to be true, it would be discredited. In this case, finding the truth with hard proofs is not trivial.
If we find out tomorrow that it was indeed a virus escaped from a Chinese lab, then so be it. I expect from media to find the truth among the sea of noise and misinformation. Sometimes it takes time.
Even if the US gov knew about the source of the virus, back in Feb. 2020, I can understand that they decided to sit on it. Fighting the pandemic was the priority, before pointing fingers.
It would be interesting to see, if the virus was indeed escaped from a Chinese lab, what would be the consequences ? Will all countries would come to some kind of agreement to stop playing with bioweapons ? Or they would double down on bioweapons (e.g. with a vaccine before being released) ? Or do like before, and hoping for the best ?... we gonna wipe us out of this planet !
