so it didn't come from a fricking lab. case closed, b-word?
It was not fricking modified in a fricking lab. That we know 100%.
The fricking problem
is fricking and always be the fricking following scenario:
Virus
gets brought to a fricking lab that is fricking literally
tasked with gathering
samples of viruses. Virus
escapes. Starts spreading in the fricking market.
It's practically impossible
to falsify that scenario.

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.":
