China is protecting itself from liability, there is my conspiracy theory.

Regardless of the source, the actual transcript proves nothing. Pompeo backtracked. No proof or substantiated claim of a manufactured virus.

This would be like me saying oil doesn't produce climate change, and then citing an article from Exxon-Mobile, that doesn't contain any data.
That article is to show support for the medical personnel in China who alerted the world to the Covid-19 outbreak, in defiance of the Chinese government. Those doctors were arrested after they refused to stay quiet. How is that pro Chinese government propaganda?

Hey Chief: We're still waiting for proof that the virus was manufactured in a lab. Or proof that anyone in the administration made that claim (without backtracking when called out.)

And they issued a retraction and apology as the more reputable news sources do when they get things wrong. Didn't say they were perfect, just a categorically more reliable news source than actual propaganda/opinion blogs such as Breitbart.

You already have proof.
You choose to ignore it

if you are handling organisms as dangerous as MERS or SARS or Ebola, IT DOESN’T MATTER if the organism you ket get away from you has been genetically modified by human intervention, by random mutation, or if it’s just the native unmodified pathogen which - you ought to know - can be dangerous enough.

If you are handling any of that stuff, and screw up, disaster is possible. Which is why you don’t necessarily want to put your lab in the most populous area you can find. And why you shut it down until things can be corrected, not just soldier on.
