Two new scientific studies point toward Huanan market as the source for the COVID virus. This will be of particular interest to johnforbes who always defers to scientific information to override his many personal prejudices.

" Analyzing a wide range of data, including virus genes, maps of market stalls and the social media activity of early Covid-19 patients across Wuhan, the scientists concluded that the coronavirus was very likely present in live mammals sold at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in late 2019 and suggested that the virus spilled over into people working or shopping there on two separate occasions.

“When you look at all of the evidence together, it’s an extraordinarily clear picture that the pandemic started at the Huanan market,” said Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona and a co-author of both new studies.

“It’s very convincing,” said Dr. Thea Fischer, an epidemiologist at the University of Copenhagen, who was not involved in the new studies. The question of whether the virus spilled over from animals “has now been settled with a very high degree of evidence, and thus confidence.”-NYTimes

Once again, partisan johnforbes has egg on his face for partisanly poo-pooing the Wuhan wet market origin theory before getting the facts.

At least now he can revise his unsupported partisan beliefs to align with the scientific facts.

Who paid for this diversion?

The world already wasted a year on the natural host notion, found nothing, and sanity returned as all eyes turned to the obvious not far away -- the Wuhan Institute for Virology, which was using some US taxpayer money to experiment with mice and virus structure.

Fer cripes sake, dummy, read and learn for once in your life.

Your many and various prejudices and partisan propaganda are not science.

I've cast pearls before you if you only choose to avail yourself of them.

Or else continue to treat them as you treat all science, which is to scoff and trample it into the mud.

But this is not science at all.

No natural host was ever found, and right down the pike from the wet market was ground zero for virus fiddling -- the Wuhan Institute for Virology.

Even letists realize where covid came from -- a lab leak.

"No natural host was ever found, ..."-johnforbes

Wrong, semen breath. You are only proving you haven't read the studies.

There were indeed TWO natural hosts found in the market.

Read the studies, dummy. That's why I linked them for you.

The experiments at the lab, which were partly funded by Fauci through Daszak, involved gain of function.

The Wuhan lab had a poor safety record, and tellingly replaced its HVAC system after the lab leak.

Wake up and smell the covid-laced coffee fumes.

None of that has anything whatsoever to do with the fact that two natural hosts were found at the wet market.

Coincidence is not evidence of anything, dimwit.

Neither is wishful partisan thinking, which is all you ever have.
