As the world enters the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the precise origins of the virus and the role of the Huanan market in kickstarting the outbreak remain hotly contested

The studies support previous the suspicion that “the animals in the market were the key element in early transmission,” says Dominic Dwyer, an epidemiologist at the University of Sydney, Australia. He was not involved in either study but was a member of the World Health Organization team that visited Wuhan last year to probe the origins of COVID-19. “It’s clear the viruses were circulating in the market and then exploded out of it.

And in the long run, experts warn that closing wet markets or banning wildlife consumption, as China has promised to do, is not going be enough to avert disease outbreaks. “We have a much bigger problem,” says David Redding, a conservation biologist at the Institute of Zoology in London, U.K. In fact, researchers in China were already conducting routine surveys of live animals sold at the Huanan market. In response to outbreaks of a deadly tick-borne disease, a team of scientists had been investigating four markets in Wuhan—including Huanan—every month between May 2017 and November 2019. That data,last year, has since become a valuable resource for scientists trying to understand the origins of SARS-CoV-2.

National Geographic are 100% with Fauci and not interested in the truth.

Is the market origin story important?

For those interested in forming conclusions based on evidence, read this thread.

National Geographic likely received grants that cause them to favor the Biden narrative!

We will never know about the lab that was doing gain of function research because an “air conditioning” problem wiped the data clean and the scientist that spoke out from the lab “killed herself” lol

But may be once science is advanced, 50-70 years from now we will come to know about this place. It’s secrets will be unfolded then not now. If we keep analyzing the epicenters these will be popping up. Instead we should build immunity & health for the people rest is Nature

Well, have you tried not covering up for our enemy, communist china?

Shameless provocation, I just ask: why not check out Fort Detrick?

It would appear to have natural origins i.e. bats (horseshoe bats), found in caves in China & recently in Laos. Other mammals can become vectors too, weasels included.

U of A scientist: Wuhan market was epicenter of COVID-19A University of Arizona scientist, who once called for a deeper look into the 'lab leak' theory to explain COVID-19's origins, co-authored a new paper that concludes the virus originated from animals sold at a market in Wuhan, China in… So the disease has the same sequences as the one being worked at the WIV, but, it originated in the wet market? Seems a mite unbelievable BS! Government hearing on Gain Function research proved it was manufacture in a lab! Same Old Bull Shit Are Best Guess! “Have we disproven the lab leak theory? No, we have not. Will we ever be able to? No,” he said.
