If the CCP is innocent why not prove it to the world by sharing their data? Why hide things?

Because there's no upside and guaranteed downside.

People are accusing them of building the virus in a lab with literally zero evidence. Give the US a bunch of raw data to spin and it just makes that easier.

> People are accusing them of building the virus in a lab with literally zero evidence

I don't think there is a lot of evidence for malice, but there is definitely evidence worthy of contemplation:

https://project-evidence.github.io/

Here is a study from 2007: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2258702/

> In this study, we investigated the receptor usage of the SL-CoV S by combining a human immunodeficiency virus-based pseudovirus system with cell lines expressing the ACE2 molecules of human, civet, or horseshoe bat.

That is literally building of viruses in a lab.

Yes, it's a virus lab and existed for years. The accusation that Covid-19 came from there has no evidence besides "china bad" and "I've seen a lot of movies".

I guess I should have specifically said covid-19 rather than "the virus", but I thought that would be clear from context.

The fact that the lab was experimenting with gain of function research on corona viruses and has had viruses escape in the past is not definitive proof, but is evidence.
