But you don't dispute what the article says.

Kill the messenger, why don't you.

Proper journalism tells you to trace a story back to its original source:
---------------------------------------------------------------
"...And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are
in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after
they have finished experimenting on them.

"You heard me right.

"Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law
requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in
some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a
million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market,
where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach."

"Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of
increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began
to sicken and die.

"They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology,
even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by
SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there. Then they pointed
to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as
the source of the virus.

"I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses
and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither, for that matter, are
pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for
their meat.

"The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan
Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an
infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a
lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly
scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle
deadly pathogens.

"China has unleashed a plague on its own people. It’s too early to say how
many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of
their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be
high.

"But not to worry. Xi has assured us that he is controlling biosecurity
risks “to protect the people’s health.” PLA bioweapons experts are in
charge.

"I doubt the Chinese people will find that very reassuring. Neither should
we."

And the ChiComs' excuses are wearing thin:
