The theory itself about the virus coming from bats and jumping to humans in the Wuhan market, which journalists and other depopularizers of science swore by, has been quite strange from the start. First, whoever invented and spread it certainly knew a lot more. They invented it on purpose. But here's another problem. In the same city there is a famous university of technology and an institute within it that was researching coronaviruses at that very time. Regardless, it was somehow more logical for journalists to believe in the theory about bats.
Don't think that journalists knew better and that they deliberately misinformed the public. No, that would be overestimating their intellectual abilities. I think that journalists sincerely believed what they were saying, just as they sincerely believe now that the virus "escaped" from the laboratory.
This thesis is even crazier than anything we've heard from journalists so far, and over the past 5 years we've heard, you'll have to admit, some very crazy things. Imagine that, how could a virus escape from a lab? It's not very common for things to escape from a lab, especially ones that are the subject of research.
Did the virus get its legs, say "I've had enough, I don't want to put up with this anymore," angrily run out and slam the door behind it? That's what journalists are now seriously trying to convince the public of. But not only that, they themselves sincerely believe it!
