The article states that the first cases were connected to the wet market in Wuhan. But there is some evidence of earlier infections (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sars-cov-2s-spread-was-the-virus-circulating-in-europe-before-it-was-found-in-china https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sars-cov-2s-spread...). Not sure how credible that evidence is, but IF someone tried to cover up a lab leak, it would also make sense to claim that the first infections have been found at the wet market in Wuhan.
Personally I think we will never find out what happened, at least not in the next decades, unless there is some whistleblower leaking confidential government communication.
- reissbaker 5y agoEven the WHO agrees that the Huanan market was not the origin, and was simply a superspreader event: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/04/02/983773881/surprising-nuggets-from-the-who-report-our-science-correspondent-digs-in https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/04/02/9837738... I'm surprised the article tries to push the debunked claim that wet markets were an origin, rather than simply being early superspreader events.
