Genetic material collected at a Chinese market near where the first human cases of COVID-19 were identified show raccoon dog DNA comingled with the virus, suggesting the pandemic may have originated from animals, not a lab, international experts say.

Other experts have not yet verified their analysis, which has yet to appear in a peer-reviewed journal. How the coronavirus began sickening people remains uncertain. The sequences will have to be matched to the genetic record of how the virus evolved to see which came first.

“These data do not provide a definitive answer to how the pandemic began, but every piece of data is important to moving us closer to that answer,” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Friday.

Nope just found the animal in the same location as covid months after the virus was all over the city. Probably singled out has its a animal loved by Japan for political reasons. The animal hibernates so its easier to hunt at that time of year & likely more of them there too.

LMAO

I thought raccoons are native to North America.

Where are all the expert virologists and epidemiologists who are also professional athletes and politicians?

Go sell that crap somewhere else! We all know it came from a lab.

Total BS

😂😂😂

New sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as additional genomic data based on samples taken from a live animal market in Wuhan, China in 2020 were briefly uploaded to the GISAID database by Chinese scientists earlier this year.

The level of lying that’s going on that’s ridiculous. Remember this story from 2020.

Fake news

This is just propaganda to suddenly claim to have found raccoon dog genetic material at Huanan wet market. It's aim is to distract from SARS-CoV-2 resulting from a lab leak due to gain of function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology funded by NIH through EcoHealth Alliance.

^So 3 years later the WHO is claiming China is claiming they found a sample of raccoon dog DNA at was 'comingled' with Covid-19, & this is more of a smoking gun on virus' origins than the virus' bizarre double-CGG or unnatural furin cleavage site?

Who collected the evidence? I hope the CCP and that Peter ballsack guy didn’t do it.

Anything presentd now is bs. WIndow on investigation was closed by the Chinese..now imaginary explanation LET ME TRY....IT WAS SPREAD BY GOLD FISH...

And of course you believe it😂😂😂

Get over it! Everyone knows where and how COVID got started. Quit covering up for China!!

Wow is propaganda the new “journalism”

liars

⚠️⚠️⚠️Be careful when posting fake news info originated from Chinese government. Microsoft recently “unleashed” ChatGPT and AI engine which is self-learning various information no matter right or wrong, truth or fake. The more fake ones it learns, the worse it’ll turn to be‼️‼️

🤣”Experts Say”. Is that from a “recent study” published by a “team of professionals” funded by an “esteemed institution”? HeardThatBefore

Maybe from animals IN the lab

Because labs can't mix different DNA

Uhm…duh?

So what you're saying is that Wuhan is Raccoon city? Next you're going to tell me that Pfizer's new logo is an umbrella.

Fake fucking news!!!!

That dog ain’t gonna hunting no more. Give it up.

That is the biggest load of dog sh!t I've ever heard lol

🫤🫤🫤

Raccoon dogs? What the crap are the labs over there doing?!!!

AP credibility gets flushed again by another bs story…

Bologna

BULLSHIT! Stop covering for China commy.

Nice try. I assume there will be more articles like this as we move along. But here’s the thing- Nobody, and I mean NOBODY believes this. The MSM continues to destroy its credibility on a daily basis

Who would bet with me that this genetic material was made in the.Wuhan lab? 3 years, no wild vector found. US agencies say it was lab leaked, 1 month later and we have a wild vector. They must think we are really stupid. And many Americans will indeed be sufficiently stupid...

Apres le pangolin... tidjegwada 😮‍💨

More propaganda trying to hide the truth.

We were told when Covid first started they had traced the original cases back to a 'Wet Market'. Which are nasty horrible filthy terrifying stinking places. So, yep, I think it was frightened sick animals being tortured and slaughtered by sick depraved people.

puncheriffic : conveniently coming out now!

Clearly the will publish anything

Bullshit.

What is a racoon dog? Hyphenated or did they mean to list raccoons and dogs separately? Is this a new animal? A trash panda dog, I might me interested 🤔

So the lab right next to the market had a supply of raccoon dogs to do their lab test on. I can suggest a completely different and plausible conclusion with the same information.

“Back in May, a group of scientists — many at the top of the virology field — shifted the debate about the origins of COVID-19. They published a letter in the journal Science saying the lab-leak theory needs to be taken more seriously by the scientific community.”

BS came from the wuhan lab

Associated Propaganda. Too bad corporate media has less than zero credibility. Even if it didn’t sound like a deflection to protect your state and pharma gods, no one is going to belive it

Experts say!!! Yeah right!!!

The raccoon dog/COVID-19 connection don't hunt. It's fake news. 'The common raccoon dog, also called the Chinese or Asian raccoon dog, is a small, heavy-set, fox-like canid native to East Asia. Named for its raccoon-like face markings, it is most closely related to foxes.'-Wiki

Keep guessing the source of Covid...

LMAO. So much desperation to save the narrative.

Auto press

CCP disclosed amazingly 2 weeks after FBI and DOJ say it most likely came from Wuhan. WHO, in the pocket of CCP, reinforced the propaganda. AP spreads the CCP's propaganda. SHAME ON YOU!

BS gain of function

Interesting how this came out right after the Dept of Energy and the FBI Director announced it was a lab leak.

Well, given that people eat dogs there, it wouldn’t surprise me if someone was serving raccoon

AP stands for Asian Propaganda! Nice try

They've had plenty of time to manufacture just about any story they wanted. At this point, it's just smoke and mirrors. If China were honest, they'd have openly invited international investigators early on - but they didn't. CDCGlobal WHO NIH WhiteHouse BBCWorld Harvard

Lmao this is rich.. Raccoon dog 😂😂 who actually believes this?

Everyone trying so hard to show its not lab created even though they've tested like 500,000 animals with no positives - this virus has had a lot of firsts

Here is the last paragraph from NYT: Dr. Goldstein, too, cautioned that “we don’t have an infected animal, and we can’t prove definitively there was an infected animal at that stall.” This is another bs from our so-called journalists.

Wow, I was under the impression that it was long proven. Now I can’t wait till will say that the Earth is indeed flat.

Science is about research and facts,Tony Baloney Fauci is the answer.

se4realhinton Is that why I can’t stop signing Rocky Raccoon….F’ing bs story

Don't believe the hype

The only thing this proves is that these animals were present when Covid was, which was all of China. It does not show an infected animal as a conduit. Far from it.

funny we haven’t heard about the raccoon dog until now. they were so sure it was bats

WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU

Nah, it came from a lab

Your credibility is shot. And now we know you are owned by China

Hey I doubt it.

Whatever happened to the pangolins though?

Yaw can stop

Just stop, you are looking foolish.

What specific lab animal leaked it has no bearing on whether it came from a lab.

And why did China cancel domestic travel weeks before it cancelled international travel?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all this data is saying is that the raccoon dogs were just present at the market when COVID-19 arose? There appears to be no indication these animals were infected, based on this article.

Oh Fuck Me.. check out the latest talking points kids, the real scary part is how the legacy media are once again supporting the false narrative, making every attempt to float the premise of anything but the actual truth. It's the circle reporting that has one goal, greater good

I was wondering how long it'd take.

You sure it wasn’t ferrets?

Always blame it on the dog.

Jab away,questions later people !!!

The United States created covid-19 in the Fort De Creek laboratory, launched it while participating in the Wuhan Military Games and caused a global disaster, victims all over the world should unite to claim compensation from the United States

Hahahah

It originated in a lab, US , Fauci and China were involved together in this.

anjuna_ashley

Do what ever you can to not offend the Chinese

Bull shit!

Convenient, very convenient.

This took 3 years?

That sounds much more likely than a Wuhan lab studying coronaviruses.

Lmaooo YEA OKAY AN ANIMAL 😜 SURE THING

Were these the same 'experts' who said the covid vaccines were safe and effective?

Now it's making sense. Both racoons and bats are vectors for rabies. It stands to reason that if someone is bitten by a rabid dog, they can get Covid-19.

Ok so now a raccoon bit a dog and not a man bit a bat have I got that straight. Glad we got that sorted!!

Nice spin

BULLSHIT STORY!!!

Someone is feeling the CCP’s wrath

Stop the lies! Stupid people will go after raccoons for no reason.

Bullshit....plain propaganda

BEIJING (AP)

Experts say........ lol

Wait, does that mean that everyone who's had Covid has mutated Raccoon Dog DNA ? Is there any chance at all that at some point I might develop some sort of Raccoon Dog related super power? I'd be down for that. Also, what *is* a Raccoon Dog?

So, evidence collected by Chinese scientists. You’re going to give that credence?

Racoon dog or man-bear-pig?

Stop. Stop covering for China, the NIH And the WHO

The World Health Organization is a Chinese lap dog.

I remember the days when I didn’t think the AP was propaganda. Those were the good ol days

Regardless of what, it came out of that lab in Wuhan China. It’s not a coincidence a rare lab 1 of only a few of that type of BIO level worldwide happens to be in the city where this came from. Most stuff get tested ok animals etc. either way it came from China whether lab or dog

You article originates at 'BEIJING (AP)' per the article. You're telling us that 'international experts' are saying the virus didn't come from the chinese virus factory? That is confirmed to have been doing corona virus research on bats.... ok sure..

How you going to blame this king

Hilarious to watch the left try to cover for their ignorance. The truth is tautological.

Genetic material collected from your mom's couch shows that Snoop Dogg is your father

Got any other fringe theories for us?

If this were true, they wouldn’t have posted the sequence and pulled it down. They would have owned it. BS red herring distraction

Hmmm Raccoon City anyone?

👨‍🍳 what you cookin?

Smells like crispr

The lab thing came from a hysterical American in Hong Kong. I read the article 🤦‍♀️ Zoonotic viruses do happen.

😂😂😂

This is silly shit. LOL

The propaganda bull shit never ends.

We'll never know the truth.

Ok, now who is gonna apologize to the poor pangolins and bat soup purveyors? New spin this week.

🐮💩

I have crackers for my bat soup.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

Do they have those dogs in the Ukraine? Yep, they do. 🤔

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

BS, we all know it came from a lab in CHYNA.

Sure. I'm sure your hand picked expert is just that much better than the entire teams, including intelligence agencies and scientific organizations, th as t have reached the opposite conclusion. I guess they're all wrong, even though it hurts them, and your person is right. Sure

They found genetic material three years later…ok, sounds legit.

Uh huh right

Bull fucking Twinkie’s

It just so happened to be next to the virology lab

Where is came from matters- If it was released from a lab, then Trump's lack of response against China for it's biowarfare attack should be investigated If it was from a wet market then Trump's inept response, lies about transmission, & suggesting quack treatments require charges

No one buys this crap. No One.

Grasping at straws now. MSM is going down soon enough for their lies and complicity in those lies. Hopefully, anyway...

Funny how this makes the rounds after the lab leak “low confidence” story makes the rounds.

not fact and ppl who don’t exercise critical thinking, will interpret & digest this info in a skewed way

Dam AP running cover for China and Phizer?!!!!

Lololololololololololol! You have as much credibility as the CCP. Just stop you propagandists

Animals can be in a lab btw

NO ONE believes this bs… if you do…I feel very sorry for you sds

Lol

Lol. Zero credibility with anyone on this cluster.

Like I suspected. It's the Republican Party spreading the false narrative of a deliberate leak from a Wuhan Lab, when Scientists said from day one, it probably started in the Wuhan Wet Market.

Give it a break will ya?

Who fucking cares where it came from

AP carrying water for the CCP again.

No one believes any of this anymore….that is what happens when the media has lost the trust of the average reader/listener

Faaaaaaake

your job is not to suggest things. that is what the waiter is for.

Looks like trump was wrong all along.

Nobody believes this.

Yeah right. I will believe that when leprechauns fly out my ass.

ccp paying these stooges a lot to shift the blame- ‘international experts’😂😂

Keep telling that lie.

Or maybe the raccoon dog just keeled over and died. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard

Here we go with a new committee.......... 🤣🤣🤣

Sadly, No can be believed on this subject anymore

How do you expect anyone to believe you?

No

Sooooo nobody really knows is the gist of this article

Bullshit. When this report came out before all parties said that there were no traces of any COVID in all the samples from the various animals at the wet market.

Did china write this for you

First it came from a bat at the wet market, now a raccoon dog. This is like a rerun of the worst written,ridiculously bad science fiction movie ever. Totally unbelievable. Why can’t our Govt get that we know it was involved in the making of the virus? We know it fears litigation!

What animals exactly can live so close to bio labs in Wuhan?

Disinformation. Where’s the community guidelines here?

You know, I was about to bite off into my raw bat sandwich with Racoon sauce, and I almost spit out my monkey smoothy. C'mon, I am trying to eat here China!

Too bad we'll never know because the Chinese are a bunch of liars

I like my raccoon dogs with mustard and relish.

So after 3 years and 5 month... Poof! They found some DNA? After 4 winters and numerous rain storms... A smudge of DNA was miraculously found... Okay, bro.

All bullshit lies: the story makes no connection to the origin of COVID19. Zero. But yet your headlines make it appear so. Clowns.

Going to be hard to get Lab back in the tube

'International experts' 🤣 You mean the same WHO that is in the pocket of communist China!

Sure 🙄

Bullshit

SMH so was it or was it not created in a lab

I remember when the use to report the news.

however wuhan lab in china won't thank you for this as the damage has been done due to reporting angle from political bias ove-rule fair scientific, thanks for the free speech and free press, as always - no accountability for the accusation

Even if we determine that it was brought in by aliens,what will that do!? What will it change!? NOTHING. This is just a very cheap distraction tactic. Let’s not ask about mandating indoor air purification, about controlling transmission, about testing, about sick days etc.

Your Chinese overlords are very proud of you…!!

As per all the prior peer review research that conspiraloons ignored.

is that true

The recalcitrant media would do well by reviewing this counterexample: the Xinfadi market in Beijing.

Bullshit.

BULLSHIT!!! 💩🤡👹💩🤡👹

AP next month: “New data suggests Covid was likely leaked from a lab.”

Incoming middle-aged white guys with sunglasses offering their expertise in virology.

Sigh

pffff hahahaha holy shit the news today is amazing DeSantis pudding fingers Don't blame SVB executives! Nuclear spill won't contaminate Mississippi river Explosion at cracker plant not to worry Trump didn't declare golf tee gift so that million that Biden family got is fine

But probably came from a lab..

International experts…..a.k.a….Chinese Communist Party Sympathizers? Remember when China said the US was the origin. We all know it came from their lab. Stop spreading Chinese propaganda.

no one believes you
