‘An extraordinarily clear picture’: New research points to a Wuhan market as the origin of the pandemic. (oh, really??)
nytimes.com/ ^ | 2/26/2022 | Carl Zimmer and Benjamin Mueller

Scientists released a pair of extensive studies on Saturday that point to a market in Wuhan, China, as the origin of the coronavirus pandemic. The two reports, totaling about 150 pages, have not yet been published in a scientific journal.

The researchers analyzed data from a range of sources to look for clues to how the pandemic arose. They concluded that the coronavirus was present in live mammals sold in the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in late 2019. The research suggests that the virus very likely twice spilled over into people working or shopping at the market. The researchers said they found no support for an alternate hypothesis that the coronavirus escaped from a lab in Wuhan.

BS.

It came from the lab in Wuhan.

No most likely it did not. this is all still misdirection.

in the 2000-2018 timeframe corona viri were considered low risk. only 5 in history had ever infected the human race and one of those was likely bio engineered.

it was standard practice to play with these in bio ‘secure’ II and III labs like the one a block from the ‘wet market’

BS is right. Lots of scientists say it was engineered and cam from the lab. The MSM only uses scientists who were bought and paid for.

What scientists? Is their lab located in the NYT news room?

So they are trying to pass off the kung flu as the bat flu again

“It just spontaneously appeared in the market? Even if it came from a bat - hard to believe - only one bat in the entire world had this virus and they just happened to bring it to the market for food? No other bats anywhere had the virus? No other wet markets of bat soup eaters?”

I personally believe that it is a bioweapon that got loose. Really, how is it that it only kills non-Chinese (which I don’t really believe, either) unless it was made that way?

But as to how there was only one bat - that’s not a legitimate analysis. Viri mutate in the wild continuously. You possibly have several unique virus strains in your own body (depending on how you count them) that simply aren’t viable or communicable. And of the countless strains of virus out there, only a few of them are transmissible and have effects that the host would even notice. There are only about 200 viruses that “affect” humans (make you sick, result in symptoms). But your DNA is loaded with evidence of past viral influences - it may be one of the strongest drivers of evolution, as opposed to random mutations that result from transcription errors.

So, that one bat could have had tons of viri, but only the one strain that could possibly jump to humans, and a different bat might have had a completely different strain that was communicable but harmless to humans but made, say, penguins, deathly ill. And maybe that happens in that particular market 10 times a day but nobody there ever plays with penguins.

So, it’s just statistics, and until the right set of random (seemingly) events occurs it’s all peachy, but then it’s ‘how the bleep is that possible?’

So....they’re going back to the “I ate a bat” or “I had sex with a bat” that I bought at the Wuhan Wet Market theory?

Within 6 months they identified the bat that carried the original virus.

The furin cleavage site that makes Covid-19 disease so deadly has never been identified in nature before

.

This one simply a cover story.

The DNA does not match what occurs naturally in Nature.

And the Weapons labs spend years focusing specifically on how to further the throw or aerosolization so it can be used to infect large numbers. This thing was off the charts in this respect. It was 100% developed in a Lab.

I wonder why they are so opposed to the term Wuhan Virus if it just came from a market?

Neither one of those things are True.

You were lied to for two years.

“Moderna’s 2016 application to patent a DNA sequence identical to that of SARS-CoV-2 was just a coincidence.”

Totally false!

Nope, not buying it.

They could never find a trail from that market, but there
were tracks everywhere else.

This is just unmitigated B. S.

New research

Its new research, by scientists who previously concluded it certainly came from the animal market. Okay

Many of the researchers behind the new studies were also participants in a review published last summer that said the pandemic almost certainly originated with an animal, probably at a wildlife market.

Yeah. . and how about the NIH re-release those 292 redacted pages of documents they were force to release under the Freedom of Information Act and this time unredact them!...then we’ll decide for ourselves.
