The mystery of the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic now has some new clues.

FILE - Raccoon dogs are seen at a cage in Tokyo's Ueno zoo Saturday, May 24, 2003. International scientists who examined previously unavailable genetic data from samples collected at a market close to where the first human cases of COVID-19 were detected in China said they found suggestions the pandemic originated from animals, not a lab. Other experts have not yet verified their analysis, which also has not appeared so far in a peer-reviewed journal.

How the coronavirus emerged remains unclear. Many scientists believe it most likely jumped from animals to people, as many other viruses have in the past, at a wildlife market in Wuhan, China. But Wuhan is home to several labs involved in collecting and studying coronaviruses, fueling theories scientists say are plausible that the virus may have leaked from one.

The samples were collected from surfaces at the Huanan seafood market in early 2020 in Wuhan, where the first human cases of COVID-19 were found in late 2019. The data show that some of the COVID-positive samples collected from a stall known to be involved in the wildlife trade also contained raccoon dog genes, indicating the animals may have been infected by the virus, according to the scientists. Their analysis was first reported in The Atlantic.

Ray Yip, an epidemiologist and founding member of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control office in China, said the findings are significant, even though they aren't definitive.

Nope, manufactured in a China lab.

Bait and switch, good try KSAT

Give it a damn break already

hahahahahaha...that's a laugh. COVID was released on the world by the Chinese, no animal transmitted it. Quit trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

Bullshit

New COVID origins data point to raccoon dogs in China marketScientists have found raccoon dog DNA comingled with the coronavirus in previously unavailable genetic data. The samples were collected at the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan in early 2020. Gimme a fucking break May god, you’ve resorted to blaming raccoon dogs for chrissake! COVID-19 is a Russian biological weapon created in a Russian biolab. Russia's initial plan was to accuse the USG of manufacturing COVID-19 in a Ukrainian biolab and releasing it around the Wuhan wet market similar to the way Russia's GRU did. Plan has changed.

New COVID origins data point to raccoon dogs in China marketGenetic 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. Interesting how this came out right after the Dept of Energy and the FBI Director announced it was a lab leak. So says Satan; the Chinese Communist Party says. Trying to deflect from the biowarfare truth. It’s easier to destroy your enemies in the processes of trade and migration, with a smile on your face, and on your enemies’ face. Blame the ‘raccoon dogs’🙄 This is never going to stop, is it?
