Covid-19 started in a wet market in Wuhan

[Synthaholic]

So much for the rightwing wet dream - it was a wet market.





The Strongest Evidence Yet That an Animal Started the Pandemic
A new analysis of genetic samples from China appears to link the pandemic’s origin to raccoon dogs.


This week, an international team of virologists, genomicists, and evolutionary biologists may have finally found crucial data to help fill that knowledge gap. A new analysis of genetic sequences collected from the market shows that raccoon dogs being illegally sold at the venue could have been carrying and possibly shedding the virus at the end of 2019. It’s some of the strongest support yet, experts told me, that the pandemic began when SARS-CoV-2 hopped from animals into humans, rather than in an accident among scientists experimenting with viruses.

Democrat-Fauci shill alert.

Whichever way you look at it, we simply don't have enough facts to say what happened. Why don't we have enough facts? Because someone isn't being honest, that's why.

And if the people don't buy this BS they have another paper ready that says it was caused by Climate Change and/or white supremacy.

Is this evidence stronger than the one that insisted it came from a bat?

No. The Right-wing wet dream is an intentional release from the Wuhaan lab as a bioweapon with the participation of Democrats. Some on the right, are too stupid for words or reality.
As for this new study settling anything, FORGET IT. Not happening. Even your article mentioned the obfuscation of data by the Chinese. Now a US government agency says the lab leak theory is indeed likely or more plausible. It is not just right-wing nut balls, that see the very real possibility that a lab in the city where is started, doing gain of function research, with similar viruses, is a distinct possibility, open for debate until the end of the earth. I have recognized the possibility, since the presence of the lab and it's experiments became known, and you surely realize 99% of the US population has never seen a wet market in their life, much less, bought food in one, but all have seen medical personnel and professional make innocent dumb mistakes that have cause damage, though policy and procedure supposedly in place to prevent.

We still don't know. Hell the Chinese probably don't even know.

Why are you so invested in the narrative that it was released from a lab?

I think the article is all about them now having more facts.

It is their whole conspiracy/fear/outrage thingy.

 

[Lastamender]

What made that evidence strong?

The bat theory is also the wet market theory. They leaned towards bats because of their history of transmitting mutated viruses.

Two agencies suggested that it came from a lab. One of them was the Department of Energy. What is their expertise in virology?

At least two other agencies leaned toward the Wuhan wet market.

You're right about the rightwing wet dream, but it's more the radical right, the MAGA/QAnon cultists. You don't see John Thune or John Barrasso or John Cornyn making these claims.

What would that be that the virus was made in a lab? Hardly a conspiracy.

The Department of Energy has one of the most robust scientific research wings and is tasked with epidemiological preparedness and response research.

Probably because they are RINOs.

What made that evidence strong?

It was incredibly weak. I never said it was strong.

If the source of COVID is ever found, and it might be, it will be by science. Not conservobot conspiracy theory political silliness.
