Why is lab leak vs zoonotic a front in the culture war rather than a question for which we should see the truth in a dispassionate manner?

My opinion is the same reason other topics of discussion in society become culture wars. Why do they really?

- Gay vs straight: religious and political beliefs - Abortion: same reasons IMO - Left vs right: politics that self propagate and stay in power with division

What what some other examples that we can try to isolate the causes for and extrapolate to here.

My opinion on the reasons for this theory being a culture war is the government and its predominate scientists have pushed a “hero” or “patriot” perspective onto one class of its citizens that if you’re not devoting your energy towards increased vaccine engagement or government policies towards containment of this virus you are doing something wrong. Everyone else is a villain or bad guy or extremist conspiracy theorist.
