Claim that Covid-19 came from a lab in China completely unfounded scientists say

I feel like the source of the virus has become too politicized in most reporting and I'd really like someone with expertise to weigh in on what the unknowns truly are. The Newsweek source is a professor who says "it is not supported at all by available data" but there is obviously no data or evidence of any theory. You could easily say "Claim that Covid-19 came from Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market completely unfounded".

To be clear, if I had to bet I would lean towards betting it came from a random bat/human interaction, but from either perspective seems like a problem of probability and guesswork.

A scientist may say this, but that statement itself appears unfounded in any evidence provided in this article.
