Let’s remember always that the lab-leak tosh is an attention-distractor. You can’t leak a virus for which no-one anywhere - including Wuhan or anywhere else in China - can produce an authenticated physical sample.
Not surprising really, if it’s alleged to be an example of a category of entities - viruses - which, it begins to appear, don’t actually exist at all.
If we ignore that canard, and don’t get drawn into taking it seriously, and wasting time arguing about did-they, didn’t-they release it from a lab - as we’re supposed to waste our energy and attention - we can concentrate on the material, such as the Hancock emails, which make it clear that the pocket-pols, their teenage SPADs, and their mediawhore circle-jerkers were all busily manipulating a fake panic, knowing quite well that that was what they were doing.
This tallies closely with the thesis, already emerging quite clearly in 2020, that there was no pandemic; there was no huge jump in all-cause mortality (though there were highly suspicious local spikes in - for instance - old people’s stacking barracks); that the PCR process is wholly unfit, as its creator vehemently insisted, for ‘testing’ for the - undemonstrable - virus; that the death-rate from respiratory disease during the covid-swindle was about what we’d expect from any ordinary seasonal flu (which had somehow mysteriously disappeared during the covid panic); and in Britain at least it was clear from their behaviour that all the people in the insider-cliques in politics and ‘news’ (except for the useful-idiot troobleevers)* knew perfectly well, from very early on, that the whole covid panic stank of a criminal fake - and yes: it was conspired 
up by a bunch of shysters/crooks. Johnson knew it, obviously, from his behaviour at the parties. We have to assume that Hancock knew it too.
It appears to my (psychic) nose - 
- that the faction of tory turds in Paedominster who are fantasising about getting Bozo back for another stint in Downing Street 
are busy pushing a public burning of Hancock, in their house magazine the Torygraph, to make him the allegedly responsible party for all the deceit and manipulation; as if Bozo wasn’t up to his wretched goolies in the wilful lying as well! Hah! Bozo could lie for England in the world Shyster Olympics, and harvest goals galore in the process!
*I wonder where the rancid Piers Moron sits on that spectrum? Useful idiot or cynical manipulator. I’d have to hypothesise a toxic blend of both. He is just an overblown hack, after all; a profession never noted for soaring IQs, but trained from cub-reporterhood in sniffing which way the bosses’ wind is blowing, and weathercocking accordingly. How to get on in mediawhoring whilst still being an ignorant left-school-at-sixteen thicko. Known plenty of those…
