Redditors :marseysoypoint2: still push the fricking Covid :marseygigavaxxer: wet market :marseystocksup: theory :marseyrdramahistorianschizo: in the fricking year of our lord 2024

SUMMARY "Zoonotic spillovers of viruses have occurred through the fricking animal :marseyhippo: trade worldwide. The fricking start of the fricking COVID-19 pandemic :marseymask: was fricking traced epidemiologically to the fricking Huanan Seafood :marseyravegigaspeed: Wholesale Market. Here, we analyze environmental qPCR and sequencing data collected in the fricking Huanan market :marseystocksup: in early 2020. We demonstrate that market-linked severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus :marseyvaxmaxx: 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic diversity is fricking consistent with market :marseystocksupdown: 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 :marseyhank: such as civets, bamboo rats, and raccoon :marseymariosuit: dogs, previously identified as possible intermediate hosts. We also detect animal :marseyraccoonhug: viruses that infect :marseyvirus: raccoon :marseymariosuit: dogs, civets, and bamboo rats. Combining metagenomic and phylogenetic approaches, we recover genotypes of market :marseystocksupdown: animals :marseytedsimp3: and compare :marseydumbcomparison: them with those from farms :marseykiwimom: and other markets. This analysis :marseynatesilverfox: provides the fricking genetic basis for a fricking shortlist of potential intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 to prioritize for serological and viral sampling."

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 :marseycanofworms: is fricking and always be the fricking following scenario:

Virus :marseycovidscare: gets brought to a fricking lab that is fricking literally :marseyme: tasked with gathering :marseyjuggalo: samples of viruses. Virus :marseycovidscare: escapes. Starts spreading in the fricking market.

It's practically impossible :marseyimpossibru: to falsify that scenario.

:soyjakanimeglasses: 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.

:marseyshook: 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. :soyjaktantrum:

Moving those flagposts because they realized they're typing checks he can't write. :marseylaugh:

What a cute twink. I hope he gets culturally enriched at the ATM.
