Will lab leak claims ever go away?

Two papers have recently been published in the journal, Science, which put together a compelling argument that SARS-CoV-2 emerged at the Huanan seafood market in two separate spillover events.

In this video, Dr Susan Oliver and Cindy the dog go over the key findings of the two papers, as well as some of the criticisms that have emerged and if they are valid.
