Redditors still push the fricking Covid wet market theory in the fricking year of our lord 2024

!marseyartists I know what I'm drawing next

I still don't understand how the wet market theory isn't racist against China but the lab leak is.

Since the conspiracy theorists are going to show up here, I'll make you an offer:

If you can show me actual evidence (not coincidences in time or space) that the virus originated from a lab leak, I will send you a check for $100. This is a lot of money for me right now, but I'll do it.

Show me the evidence, and I'll send the check.

EDIT: Conspiracy theorists who reply with coincidences and fables are getting no checks and getting blocked.

I'm sorry, but people who are adamant that this was NOT a lab leak then must provide evidence of the natural carrier. Where is this natural carrier and why can't we find it?

What I want to understand is why so many on either side of the argument are so convinced of their righteousness.

Because conspiracy theories are unscientific.

Also, there is plenty of good genetic evidence for the spillover. You just haven't read the papers.

Blocking you in an hour so you have time to see this. Don't respond--I won't read it.

The issue is that during early days, China focused on their collection of data around that wet market, to the exclusion of other possible sources. Western entities were also not allowed to investigate. This produces data that makes it seem like all of the data points to the wet market, but in reality it was sampling bias.

I think someone ate a bat that escaped from the lab at the wet market because it lets me be racist about their food and their work ethic at the same time.

I thought the wet market was still the science answer to the origin of it? What is the current main stream narrative on it nowadays then?

Swallowing whole hog what the media fed you was your entire personality for a couple years.

The Chinks did it on accidental purpose.

Get over yourself and shut up

SUMMARY "Zoonotic spillovers of viruses have occurred through the fricking animal trade worldwide. The fricking start of the fricking COVID-19 pandemic was fricking traced epidemiologically to the fricking Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Here, we analyze environmental qPCR and sequencing data collected in the fricking Huanan market in early 2020. We demonstrate that market-linked severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic diversity is fricking consistent with market emergence and find increased SARS-CoV-2 positivity near and within a fricking wildlife stall. We identify wildlife DNA in all SARS-CoV-2-positive samples from this stall, including species such as civets, bamboo rats, and raccoon dogs, previously identified as possible intermediate hosts. We also detect animal viruses that infect raccoon dogs, civets, and bamboo rats. Combining metagenomic and phylogenetic approaches, we recover genotypes of market animals and compare them with those from farms and other markets. This analysis provides the fricking genetic basis for a fricking shortlist of potential intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 to prioritize for serological and viral sampling.":

Does Reddit even have any real users anymore or is it bots talking with bots

Total redditor death

Redditors, and pretty much all virologists, and the judges of the root claim debate.
