Samples were collected in early 2020 from surfaces at the Huanan seafood market and the genetic sequences were recently uploaded by China to the world's largest public virus database. They were then taken down but not before a French biologist spotted the information by chance.

Raccoon dogs have been linked to the origins of COVID in a new study suggesting the pandemic may have emanated from animals and not a laboratory leak.

Samples were collected in early 2020 from surfaces at the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan and the genetic sequences were recently uploaded by China to the world's largest public virus database. The World Health Organisation director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the latest data findings do not provide a definitive answer on how the pandemic first began but stated"every piece of data is important to moving us closer to that answer".

'Slurry spillage on Cattle Farm Road. Scientists identified climate change as likely cause of sudden appearance of shit on the road.'

Can we stop this now. The outbreak started in Wuhan. Also in Wuhan is a laboratory which studies and manipulates coronaviruses. We don't need any scientists opinions. We never did. It's that simple.

Must admit I Had a barking cough when I got covid 😳

Lies

Bull 💩💩💩

Sick and tired.

Who was the lead scientist Cyril sneer.

Lies lies and more lies

So not a bat as bill gates said

Still not understanding how bat and pangolin DNA were 99% match before?

I believe it. Also believe fairy unicorns played a part outside the Wuhan institute for gain of function research. We are not that stupid.

So the lab theory is now debunked?!!!

We’re they working in the lab , that was near the market ?

DISTRACTION from truth. This is like the sort of plot primary school kids would write in an imaginary essay. 'The virus sort of by accident got out from animals people were selling in the street market and then got into people's blood and spread itself.'

I thought it was decided recently that it did come from a lab? 🙄

At least you are not calling them experts

Nice try.

Complete Bunk! Just another Leftist Smokescreen to try to hide the Fact that the Wuhan Lab Leak occurred. It is Not a 'Theory'. It is FACT. End of Story, Leftists!

Why do you not report black on white violence?

Yeah ok.

Totally believable.

Raccoon dogs. 🤣

No !

We're they in the lab that was pointed out a fortnight ago

And this has only just, fleetingly emerged from the Chinese… how very convenient.

Stop with the science. You’re confusing the MAGA’s with big words!

As it not been proven that it was a lab leak? More than likely purposely leaked.

If this thing started in Atlanta Georgia we’d all be looking at the CDC 🤷🏻‍♂️
