Voicing concerns over the virus origin

ort-“>Ross Clark in the Spectator:

The WHO-China study further argues that a laboratory accident is implausible because biosecurity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is so tight. The resort does, however, contain an interesting nugget: 'The Wuhan CDC laboratory moved on 2 December 2019 to a new location near the Huanan market. Such moves can be disruptive for the operations of any laboratory.' 

In other words, a laboratory that was known to be working with SARS-type viruses, and to have isolated very similar viruses, happened to move one of its laboratories to a building close to a market where, a few weeks later, a disease caused by a novel SARS virus broke out. You can make your own mind up, and of course, we have no conclusive proof either way on this theory or on any of the other theories, but does the theory of a laboratory accident really deserve to be dismissed so lightly?
