'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.

After scientists in the group contacted the China CDC, they say, the sequences were removed from the global virus database. Researchers are puzzled as to why data on the samples collected over three years ago wasn't made public sooner. Tedros has pleaded with China to share more of its COVID-19 research data.

Goldstein said his group presented its findings this week to an advisory panel the WHO has tasked with investigating COVID-19's origins. After a weeks-long visit to China to study the pandemic's origins, WHO released a report in 2021 concluding that COVID-19 most probably jumped into humans from animals, dismissing the possibility of a lab origin as "extremely unlikely."

The China CDC scientists who previously analyzed the Huanan market samples published a paper as a preprint in February suggesting that humans brought the virus to the market, not animals, implying that the virus originated elsewhere. Their paper didn't mention that animal genes were found in the samples that tested positive.

If it were true we'd have been hearing this loudly proclaimed years ago, and the evidence would be openly available not the word of some researchers who have a personal stake in combating the lab leak account. OccamsRazor
