An animal market in China's Wuhan was the epicentre of the Covid pandemic, according to a pair of new studies that claimed to have tipped the balance in the debate about the virus' origins

Answering the question of whether the disease spilled over naturally from animals to humans, or was the result of a lab accident, is viewed as vital to averting the next pandemic and saving millions of lives.

Both were previously posted as"preprints" but have now been vetted by scientific peer review and appear in a prestigious journal. Though previous investigation had centered on the live animal market, researchers wanted more evidence to determine it was really the progenitor of the outbreak, as opposed to an amplifier. This required neighbourhood-level study within Wuhan to be more certain the virus was"zoonotic" - that it jumped from animals to people.

Mammals now known to be infectable with the virus - including red foxes, hog badgers and raccoon dogs, were all sold live in the market, the team showed. "This tells us the virus was not circulating cryptically," Worobey said in a statement."It really originated at that market and spread out from there."Two lineages, A and B, marked the early pandemic.

"Otherwise, lineage A would have had to have been evolving in slow motion compared to the lineage B virus, which just doesn't make biological sense," said Dr Worobey.

Nothing to do with the Wuhan lab so, n yet bat's are a protected species but not in China no more than dogs are, HTF did the West ever get involved with China, hw r They with spiders n flies Come into the parlor like,

Lies!! All bullshit!

Bullshit!

Once upon a time there was a bat named George who fell in love with a Pangolin named Rita.... Rita fucked George's best mate Dan the Duck who unfortunately had sex with a Pidgeon from ballyfermot named Dave who was eaten by a Chinese man named Lin... The End ❤

Brought to you by Pfizer.... & the FDA & the CDC & the WHO & the EMA.... none of whom are panicking at all about the origins or the latest VAERS data 😉

It's on RTE it must be true...... 🤦🏻‍♂️ the state sponsored media outlet would hardly lie to us or push a narrative as directed..... that's just tin foil hat brigade stuff 🤣🤣 hardly a fucking smoking gun of evidence in fairness if anything it makes the lab leak just as plausible🤦🏻‍♂️

Reporting for misinformation 👍

Laughable lies. Propaganda

ffs...

RaheemKassam

More fake news eh it came from the lab

We just laugh at you

Really...Are there any investigative journalists left at all? Anywhere?

What say you, Ayjchan?

Back in the 'educated' world - GP120 for the win.

Cut the crap - all instigated by good ol’ USA

Lies lies and you know it

Claimed is way different than proven & given the proximity of the wuhan lab & the “research” carried out there it’s highly unlikely that it originated in an infected animal in a market , in other words this is total bolloxology

RTE shilling for the CCP.

An absolute joke of a media organisation. Who funded the research you 🤡's When the day of reckoning comes the people responsible for this tripe must and will be held to account.

Who is paying these scientists to detract from Chinese manufactured virus truth? Time that journalists followed the money.

Was this the study they used? 'Did it originate in a wet market?' ......

Incessant crap as usual

😂🐂💩

...and pigs were flying at the same animal market. Oh how far RTE have fallen.

Regurgitated nonsense.

Seems there was multi millions sent to china for gain of function expertise, Peter Dazack, Fauci, eco health alliance, niaid, didnt Hunter and pappy do a lot of business with China Now there's 46 Bio weapons lab's in Ukraine, Hunter, which has NO safety law's about these lab's

You are joking yeah? The gain of function work in an unsuitable lab in Wuhan China is the source. There is open discussion of this FACT, undisputed and it is from one corner of the planet to the other. How come you guys are not asking for answers? Failure of the fourth estate

Total and utter bollocks. Stop reporting claims and start reporting. That would make a change!

BREAKING: Captured world media organizations have joined together to propagate a long debunked conclusion that the Wuhan Virus came from a wet market. The coordinated spread of the bogus story comes after two questionably funded, spurious studies pointed to the infamous market.

The evidence is settled and the legal cases are underway. Sinister Lab leak with links to Faucci. More MSM rubbish.

🇮🇪 Read the article that passes as journalism. 1. Both Papers Co author is a USA government paid employee. Just like Luke O'Neil (TCD). 2. Covid19 was in the wild in Europe in August 2019 at the World Military Games. 3. The phrase 'I think' is not a scientific term. MORE LIES!

Absolute bullshit.

Not surprised at all, those animals piss and defecate on each other in those cages....

As expected the replies are hilarious...

Fake news..Came from a Lab.. Stop bullshitting the Irish people.. This was man made and released for a reason

The West will blame China for everything...

Makes sense actually. Helps explain how it mutated into Monkeypox.

Nonsense

Because the first infected individual from the lab went there. Sweet Jesus 🙄

Lies

Stop talking Rubbish NO it wasn't and why? Because there is not virus. All created to get the fake vaccine into people through fear. By the way you missed 2019 !! just saying.

Absolute nonsense, more Chinese propaganda, nothing to see here....

Does that exonerate China & the US. ? How convenient. !!!

Lol

How was it in America from November 2019 then? No one buys your narrative anymore.

So the same one guy co-authored both papers lol. It's impossible to have come from the market. There was no lineage of the virus in any animals. More propaganda from rte

Lies.

Wonder who funded the studies

It's been proven that it was man made. We know who was in on it.

Right…

I'm assuming the world us gonna now impose sanctions on China and the virtue signallers will start wagging their fingers and demanding action like we did with Russia....wait no we can't go pissing off two superpowers in one year, maybe we will wait till the Chinese invade Taiwan

fakenews

It was British M16 agent’s who stoleit during the World War games in Wuhan Oct 2019, they were pursued by Chinese special intelligence agents in a high speed highly explosive chase through Wuhans streets in Austin Martin DB9. The British agent dropped the vile at the wet market.

B.S just like the Rubbish you lot publish on a daily basis. 🤡 🌍

And you trust the source of this? Nothing coming from China on COVID19 can be trusted.

I think it started at a mart in Longford That was just my study 🙄

Soooo, not a biolab in Ukraine then?

This is not the first time a pair of ‘new’ studies said that. A pair seeems more convincing, it’s deliberate, I don’t believe it

I assume M Martin is now going to impose more totally pointless sanctions on China now, the ones on Russia are so effective

More lies

Ballix
