It’s because the evidence is overwhelming and political establishment has realized it will be impossible to suppress the information. Will we “cancel” an eminent virologist and former President of Caltech because he explains transparently to people the smoking gun with the FCS and CGG condons. This isn’t even “just” a lab leak of a naturally occurring dangerous virus, it’s a lab leak of a synthetic gain of function virus. Previously since it was Trump’s people saying it, ok that was easy to discredit and claim racist china hate at all that. What are they going to do though now? round up all the world’s scientists and try to silence them. The’ve throw in the towel, that’s what’s changed, the corruption and intimidation only worked so far, only so many scientists able to influence and try to manipulate the narrative with. Some of those have even turned on the CCP boot lickers, realizing the game is up. It’s too damn obvious. This is now damage control mode. Also they needed to wait for the worst of it to be over, that way less political fallout. Imagine they actually admitted this all officially last year, before the peak waves.
Yes many more. Including details of the death of the wife of a researcher in December 2019 from Covid. The other is deeper investigation of the FCS and how it might have arisen, very difficulty in nature, especially with zero trace of intermediate host so far.
Unfortunately it’s not being reported on mainstream sources yet, but the wife of a researcher was an even earlier patient and she died, clearly from covid. According to information I’ve seen, she was perhaps patient 4-6.

'A natural virus pandemic would be expected to mutate gradually and become more infectious but less pathogenic which is what many expected with the COVID-19 pandemic but which does not appear to have happened,' the scientists wrote.
For [1], Wuhan lab staff sought hospital care before COVID-19 outbreak disclosed:
The reports states:
"""
Three researchers from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) sought hospital care in November 2019, a month before China reported the first cases of COVID-19, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing a U.S. intelligence report.
"""
> sought hospital care
No mentioning of the symptom.
> a month before China reported the first cases of COVID-19
I think without mentioning the symptom, we can find probably quite a few patients "seeking hospital care" in a 10km radius of Wuhan Institute of Virology, see how crowded the place was [2] (google map).
> citing a U.S. intelligence report
Where was the report?
Remember which report give the chain of evidences of Iraq's WMD claim? See [3]. Regarding the report "Congress eventually concluded that the Bush administration had "overstated" its dire warnings about the Iraqi threat."
I cannot take this Reuters' report seriously without seeing the report.
Let's be honest, the implied charge in the report is beyond the the impact of WWII probably (in total economic impact at least).
> The newspaper said the previously undisclosed report - which provides fresh details on the number of researchers affected, the timing of their illnesses, and their hospital visits - may add weight to calls for a broader investigation into whether the COVID-19 virus could have escaped from the laboratory.
It seems the Reuters' report admit that the original report from US intelligence group do not have symptoms information.
