You don’t

Sure I do
Show me some PROOF and I'll change my mind regarding how the virus started
An open mind asks for evidence
Show me evidence the virus started in a lab and I'll be the first to throw China under the bus
I hate China
The free Hong Kong I once visited is gone
But
I still need evidence
An open mind is always requesting evidence

I used to vote conservative
I never ever voted for that sicko Bill Clinton
Proud Dole supporter
Because I have an open mind, I changed

You’re explaining that you start from a place of pre-conceived notions and require overwhelming evidence to move off pre conceived notions that you’re biased to. Which makes you dismissive of 90% or so of evidence, you typically yawn at any evidence pointed out to you and call it meaningless if it doesn’t fit what you’ve already decided is true based on your bias.

Also, you just aren’t how you say you are.

I find it funny that someone producing tough guy rapper lifestyle music is afraid of the vaccine and gave up 9 million.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It's really simple. So simple a caveman could do what I do :-)
I just go to Wikipedia
I don't know jack about viruses and form my beliefs on expert beliefs

"A final scenario, assessed to be unlikely by most experts,........ is known as the lab leak hypothesis.[24]"

Where do you go for evidence?

I'm no virus expert but I follow what goes on in China closely
China is a possible powder keg right now
Protests are growing all over the country
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-63771109
"Protests against strict Covid measures in China have spilled into a second night and spread to the biggest cities.
Demonstrators gathered in the capital Beijing and the financial hub Shanghai.
Many held up blank pieces of paper to express their discontent and acknowledge the censorship. Some have, however, gone as far as calling for President Xi Jinping to step down.
Millions have been affected by nearly three years of mass testing, quarantines and snap lockdowns."

The China govt is horrible
Until the Ukraine invasion, I considered Xi to be the most evil person on the planet
As much as I hate the China Govt, I still need evidence regarding a lab leak.
I consider Dr Soopoo our resident medical expert. Can your so called evidence convince him who leans right? I value his medical expertise. If you can't convince him, how can you expect to convince me.

I don’t think that I can be convinced to any reasonable degree of certainty one way or the other. Whoever is presenting ‘evidence’ might be doing so to further their goal, and there is no way I’m savvy enough to figure out if it is ‘real’ evidence or made up stuff. Didn’t tobacco companies have ‘evidence’ that smoking wasn’t harmful?
