While I don't disagree that this animal could be involved, the thing I find disingenuous is that it came out of fucking no where 3 years later. If there had been a long thread about this, maybe. But there's just nothing. Also the media outlets picked this up so fast almost like "see I told you so" which makes me less believe this.

> the thing I find disingenuous is that it came out of fucking no where 3 years later That's how these things happen, at least to the original SARS. Okay, besides killing all masked palm civets for "idk maybe" about 3 months into pandemic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS#Origin_and_animal_vectors:~:text=In%202005%2C%20two%20studies%20identified%20a%20number%20of%20SARS%2Dlike%20coronaviruses%20in%20Chinese%20bats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS#Origin_and_animal_vectors... Jumping the gun on masked palm civets, then raccoon dogs, then confusion, then 2 years later all at a sudden bat. And 12 years later the actual bat shit. > Also the media outlets picked this up so fast TBH I don't see this discussed anywhere else.
