Jamie Metzl, Ph.D., a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a faculty member of NextMed Health and is known as the “original whistleblower” of COVID-19 origins told NPR the new paper’s findings are questionable.
“What they did is to say we’re going to prioritize our sampling in a specific section of the market.It’s circular logic to say, well, we have more positive samples concentrated on the western side of the market when, according to the Chinese sources, that was where they were doing most of their sampling,” Metzl said.
According to NPR, the paper’s“analysis relies on an imperfect set of data gathered by Chinese scientists, which has left this research open to criticism by some researchers — in particular, those who argue a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is a more likely source of the virus’s spread.”
Authors concede paper ‘doesn’t prove’ zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2
Some co-authors of the new paper appear to hedge when asked whether their findings definitively conclude that SARS-CoV-2 had a zoonotic origin.
“It doesn’t 100% prove that those animals had SARS-CoV-2, but it shows that you can justsay goodbye to the idea that these [coronavirus-susceptible] animals weren’t even thereat the time the pandemic started,” Worobey told NPR. The animals “were observed there in November [2019] by Chinese colleagues,” he added. (That's stupid, the animals have been there as many years the market existed)
But Metzl questioned this conclusion. “These same authors are once again trying to promote a false consensusabout science that is at very least debated,” Metzl said. “It’s just not the case, as these guys would have you believe, that this is science and the other side are a bunch of crazy people with agendas. This is disputed science.”
NPR cited a 2021 study in Molecular Biology and Evolution placing the start of the outbreak at September or October of 2019, “which would complicate the market-origin hypothesis,” and a 2023study by Jesse Bloom, Ph.D., an evolutionary biologistat the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle,finding that no particular species of mammal at the Wuhan market correlated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
“What the new study does not show is that any given animal at the market was infected with SARS-CoV-2, meaning it cannot rule out that all the viral samples collected came from humans,” NPR reported.

(Big Question: who paid and put them up to releasing this sham study and why?Is Fauci and Collins involved because they arestill doing gain of function to release another pandemic? Right after Trump is elected again.Is Fauci working behind the scenes with WHO, the UN and Bill Gates?)
