Some virologists say that the new evidence pointing to the Huanan market doesn’t rule out an alternative hypothesis. Namely, they say that the market could have just been the location of a massive amplifying event, in which an infected person spread the virus to many other people, rather than the place of the original spillover.
“Analysis-wise, this is excellent work, but it remains open to interpretation,” says Vincent Munster, a virologist at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a division of the National Institutes of Health, in Hamilton, Montana. He says searching for SARS-CoV-2 and antibodies against it in blood samples collected from animals sold at the market, and from people who sold animals at the market, could provide more definitive evidence of COVID-19’s origins.
Researchers speculate that an intermediate animal such as a raccoon dog could have passed the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to humans. Raccoon dogs have been sold at the Huanan market.A research team from China including the head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention has now genetically sequenced those positive samples, releasing the results in a preprint posted on 25 February.
“It’s a nice piece of work,” says Ray Yip, an epidemiologist who is a former director of the China branch of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “They’ve confirmed that the Huanan market was indeed a very important spreading location.” As soon as the report from China posted online, Andersen and his colleagues rushed to post the manuscripts they had been working on for weeks.
Found the 2nd reference a good read.
Because you know, you just want China to take the blame.
Why ignore the fact that the Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) passed by the US military in 2019 caused infections in Italy? Why not disclose the details of the five soldiers who were taken away by the special plane during the Wuhan Military Games? What's wrong with them?
Really? Then can you explain why the symptoms of e-cigarette pneumonia in the US in 2019 are so similar to the symptoms of COVID-19. Why doesn't the US open Fort Detrick to cooperate with the investigation of the origin of the COVID-19?
'Nature' is full of s**t.
💩
啊对对对
Funny article Mr. Fort Detrick🤣😂😂😂
How is this news? From the start, 2 years ago it was called the Wuhan virus or China Virus 🙄
right yourmother right what your said is so fuckly now you is a big SB
放你妈狗屁
Science is dead. You publish whatever brings most funding.
Stop perpetuating this nonsense. You published the article in 2015. The chimera virus was created at the University of North Carolina and there have been several documented accidents at the level 3 bio lab. It could have been leaked from the USA just as well as China.
'All three [studies] are preprints, and so have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.'
Anyone ever check the side hustle of Wuhan Lab janitor? “Huh- look at all these dead bats I’m supposed to incinerate...there’s that market down the street where people pay good money for bat meat...hmmm...free inventory?...what the worst that could happen...” Who knows?

张嘴就来，你是个傻der
Does anyone checked Fort Dekrit?
Hmmmmmm 🤔
