They also didn’t find any animal corona samples at the market. Also around 50% of people of the initial cluster had no connection to the market.
Also the hospital where the lab workers were treated was on the corner of this market.

China denies the claim that these lab workers were sick at all. Even if they're lying, there is no proof they fell sick with Covid-19 and there is strong evidence they did not. All workers at the lab were later tested for Sars-CoV-2 antibodies and came up negative. Unless that's also a lie.

The bioengineering origin is, according to the overwhelming consensus of virologists, not plausible scientifically. It also requires a large and airtight conspiracy involving a number of respected scientists. Conspiracy theories are possible, but never parsimonious.
If we're going in for conspiracies, you should consider that the US intelligence community has a proven track record of lying for political gain. The Iraq War was started by a conspiracy.
Scientists have narrowed it down to the area in the market where the corona virus was first detected, what are you on about?
SARS-CoV-2–positive environmental samples were spatially clustered around vendors selling live mammals.
Also don't forget other pandemics have some from wet markets too. Bird flu and SARS. Do you think they were also lab leaks?
Now, we just need a few sources for these claims.
