That's more of a recent development in my reckoning.
The original form was almost purely China=bad. Then it has morphed to include some of the US scientists as more information came out.
But specifically most (in the conspiracy group) are trying to tie it specifically to Dr Fauci who became a lightning rod for controversy and political attacks during the pandemic as he became the face of the government's response. Thus it's not all US scientists. Just the ones some don't like politically and who are "in bed with China."
And furthermore, sure the US may have funded some of it, but at the end of the day China is the one who goofed.
Of course, I'm speculating a lot and there are a lot of variations that I've seen for support for the lab leak theory. Just trying to summarize some of the hotter takes I've seen.
It’s scientists that fund or support gain of function research at WIV. So anyone involved with Ecohealth is fair game.
I don’t see anything political here. If Fauci and Daszak had come out against dangerous experiments at low biosafety levels we wouldn’t be talking about them.
