Chinese researchers have published an extensive analysis of samples taken from the Wuhan wet market where it’s believed COVID-19 was first transferred to humans.
This is not evidence that the virus is naturally occurring or that it didn’t leak from a lab. But the detailed analysis gives strong indications that wild animals being sold in the market were infected with COVID-19 and it was they who transmitted the virus to humans.
Why wasn’t this information released before and why now? It could be that the genetic sequences were initially published — perhaps by accident — in February 2022 and were already available for research. This research is the first that’s been peer-reviewed and will appear next month in Nature.
The Chinese research team’s paper showed that some samples – collected from areas where wildlife was being sold – had tested positive for the virus.
Their analysis also showed that animals now known to be susceptible to the virus, particularly raccoon dogs, were being sold alive in those locations.
But the Chinese researchers have pointed out that their discoveries fall short of definitive proof of how the outbreak started.
“These environmental samples cannot prove that the animals were infected,” the paper explains.
Professor David Robertson, from the University of Glasgow, is a virologist who has been involved in the search for COVID origins since 2020.
“It’s the whole body of evidence that’s important,” he said.
“When you bring this together with the fact that the early Covid-19 cases in Wuhan are linked to the market, it’s strong evidence that this is where a spillover from an animal in the market occurred.”

what happens if we find out the virus was created in a biolab in ukraine funded by the deep state? It’s a possibility. We all know the wet market stuff is BS.
Does anybody believe anything from COMMUNIST China? They are bigger liars than Adam Schiff!
I remember reading early on...that they tested about 9000 critters and none carried Covid
so even if dogs and racoons had covid where did they get it?
RE: what happens if we find out the virus was created in a biolab in ukraine funded by the deep state?
Set Ukraine aside for the meantime. E-mail evidence already tell us that Gain of Function Research (GOF) was being done RIGHT HERE IN THE USA. It was stopped by the Obama administration officials and Fauci ( the one overseeing the research ) had to find an alternative lab to continue the GOF research.
Enter EchoHealth Alliance, the so-called non-profit organization which received millions from our very own NIH and funneled the money to the Wuhan Virology Lab to continue the research.
The rest is history.
That article says they tested over 50,000 animals.
Bottom line; they never found one with SARS-CoV-2.
And you’re a virologist?
The conspiracy aspects of it all are what they are, but the more important aspect is humans don’t have defense against animal virus. The jumping event between species is the event that threatens Apocalypse.
This is how it has killed so many globally. I recall in very early 2020 the leap for vax development started all over the world the MOMENT China released the PCR sequencing. Everyone globally in that discipline knew an animal virus was going to kill huge numbers of people, so they were chasing vax as soon as they had the data.
Just curious, how much do you get paid to post the govt’s talking points?
Who funded the research lab in Wuhan? America did. It’s America’s virus. So is Ebola, Marburg, SARS, and AIDS / HIV. Their natural precursors existed in the wild until our researchers (Fauci & Friends) modified them to infect humans and increase lethality.
Are you stupid or somethin? What is it with you “animal jumpers” and apocalyptic viruses? That’s your tax dollars making those modifications. Who’s got the better apocalyptic bull$Hite narrative? You virus jumpers or the climate change gang?
You would have to ask France’s Ministry of Health folks, and India’s, who also immediately chased vax. They all, globally, knew what the body count was going to be.
One would think France also funds research of this sort. They have always been ahead in viral response immunity investigations.
American exceptionalism attitudes cause these mistakes.
I was wondering if it could be a lie.
I mean they waited years and who is to say they didn’t use that time to create a new virus to hide evidence \? Perhaps the genome is from a new virus they crafted?
What if these racoon dogs were being used in the gain of function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The racoon dogs that died were put in disposal bins. Workers in the lab did some dumpster diving for those dead dogs and took them to the Wuhan Market to sell for extra money. Perhaps there was lab experiments on pangolins too. They would have brought some really good money at the market. Nobody was keeping track of those dumpsters and the workers knew it.
Once the virus spread from the market, China did not do a damned thing to control it. I wonder why . . .

Put the cup down - it isn’t green tea - it’s Kool-Aid...
Two words:
COMMUNISTS LIE.
oh for cryin out loud, here we go again...
You must pick one, only one..
A) Somebody pulled a bat out of a vat of water and ate it, thereby causing the world wide pandemic, or
B) It somehow leaked from the nearby, handy dandy biolab.
These were the choices in 2020, and these are the choices today.
Pick one.
