were identified show raccoon dog DNA comingled with the virus, adding evidence to the theory that the virus originated from animals, not from a lab, international experts say.
Tedros criticised China for not sharing the genetic information earlier, telling a press briefing that “this data could have and should have been shared three years ago.” The data show that some of the COVID-positive samples collected from a stall known to be involved in the wildlife trade also contained raccoon dog genes, indicating the animals may have been infected by the virus, according to the scientists. Their analysis was first reported in The Atlantic.
Raccoon dogs were traded at the Wuhan wet market where the virus was initially believed to derive from.“The market environmental sampling data published by China CDC is by far the strongest evidence to support animal origins,” Yip told the AP in an email. He was not connected to the new analysis. Efforts to determine the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic have been complicated by factors including the massive surge of human infections in the pandemic's first two years and an increasingly bitter political dispute.
Gao Fu, the former head of the Chinese CDC and lead author of the Chinese paper, didn’t immediately respond to an Associated Press email requesting comment. But he told Science magazine the sequences are “nothing new. It had been known there was illegal animal dealing and this is why the market was immediately shut down.”

Maybe it was both, maybe a lab leak and tech ate or visited wet market spreading the virus. Doesn't have to be one or the other. Truth is we will likely never know for sure.
Enter deniers refusing to accept this claim. As they continue to baselessly stand behind the 'Lab leak' story without any provable or factual evidence.
Eating such animals is as sick as fabricating a virus.
The lie continues.
Lol
It came from a lab, stop the charade
