Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: the quote directly addresses whether SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab and says this evidence is enough to convince the author it did not come from the lab, so a stance on the complete lab-origin-vs-zoonosis statement is determinable. The Reddit source contains this exact comment.
