Wuhan Market Samples Contained Covid and Animal Mixtures, Report Says

[Warpy]

36. That is highly unlikely

Animal studies would have been a very small part of the lab's work, most virology is done on tissue samples.

The US found absolutely no evidence that the virus was anything but naturally occurring. If it had been due to sloppy lab conditions, TFG would have shouted it louder than he already did, and Fauci would have been his best buddy.

People in that lab were paid well enough to go to the market for a piece of pork or chicken, not so poorly that they had to take lab mice home for dinner or sell them to someone else. Also remember that cooking kills the virus.

Nope, either SARS CoV-1 was in the rural population, spreading slowly and mutating into SARS CoV-2 or there was an animal intermediary. They know from swabs of the carts that something that was slaughtered and sold at that market was carrying it. They just don't know what it was yet.

Until we do, trying to point fingers at that lab by coming up with unlikely scenarios isn't doing the effort any good.
