By the way, you can find a paper to back just about anything.

I can find dozens of scientific papers over decades on the wet market problem. YOU said wet markets had never cause a problem. I was just trying to encourage you to do a little reading.

I won’t accuse you of ignorant shooting from the hip, because I have done more than my share of that on other issues.

I appreciate the note of explanation.

I just don’t understand why some FReepers defend the labs.
(LOL)

These studies are a hoot.

The wet markets are popular in China. People go to there
regularly. Their family and friends do. Do you believe
those people would go there if their family and friends
were dropping dead, or coming down with serious bouts
of illness continually?

So despite “many” studies done, guess what. The man on the
street doesn’t buy into their findings. They’ve been going
to them for generations.

Turns my stomach to know what goes on in them, but I am not
convinced these studies are worth the paper they are written
on.

And yes, it’s okay to point out to me that people have been
saying things negative about them for decades.

I guess the centuries they’ve been around hasn’t raised
an issue for the folks who frequent them.

I was in a position to be detailed on medications for 27
years. I’ve seen my share of studies.

On guy would come in and explain the benefits of his product
over someone else’s. Then that someone else would come in
and tell me why the other guy was wrong.

Both had great looking studies. I’ve been in situations
where three different companies were trying to carve out as
big a piece of the pie as they could get, each with great
looking studies.

Each had bad things to say about the other brands. There
was some aspect they could pick apart, and they generally
always did.

This kind of soured me on using studies as my go-to at
times.

You were reasoned to bring up the studies you’ve seen, and
to imply it would be best if I read this one, and I think
you were probably right.

Wasn’t trying to give you a hard time. I can be obstinate at
times.
