Well it happened much faster than expected. But viruses usually become less potent and spread easier. All viruses want to do is live and spread. If you kill the host then you no longer live and spread. So you mutate to spread easier which is what we are seeing. The scientist that discovered HIV said after looking at the Covid virus that it was indeed manmade. But the hope he offered that seems to be true is that nature has a way of unwinding manmade viruses making them less deadly that they do not hold up to natures design of way viruses work. Simply put Gods design down to the most microscopic is designed to undo the damage that man does. So thank God his design is taking care of us.
Yes, this. For some reason this isn't getting out there. Omicron's closest cousin is from March 2020. The other variants are so different that spontaneous evolution is impossible. Given those 2 facts, it mean Omicron was created.
How? Well, if it was a natural evolutionary step in March, it is so contagious it would have been everywhere by April 2020. If it was a natural evolutionary step in recent months, it would have similarity to currently circulating variants. Since both are false, it means it was created and kept in a lab until recently.
See the Dark Horse podcast for a scientific review of the data. And yes, some (not all) of each variant has been gene sequenced and isolated by researchers. In some major centers they have been using more expensive tests to survey sewage and that helps them identify the dominant variant (Omicron has been taking over wherever it goes). This often gets confused with the cheap and fast tests used by most public health groups that do not isolate, have poor accuracy, and are not variant specific.
This board should be asking why, and who. China may want to override vaccines to help prolong the pandemic. Good guys may want to use it to spread natural immunity and to extinguish more harmful variants. Either way the implications are huge.

I read somewhere that the number and nature of mutations in Omicron makes it very less likely that it was a natural mutation.
