"The second explanation, which was proposed in a blog post by Garry (2021) and amplified by a popular podcast (Racaniello _et al._ 2021), is that there were multiple zoonoses from distinct markets, with the Huanan Seafood Market being the source of viruses in clade B, and some other market being the source of viruses that lack the T8782C and C28144T mutations. However, inspection of Fig- ure 4 shows that clade B is connected to viruses lacking T8782C and C28144T by single mutational steps via other human iso- lates, so this explanation requires not only positing two markets with two progenitors differing by just two mutations, but also the exceedingly improbableevolution of one of these progenitors towards the other after it had jumped to humans." Actually no - simple to see how the mutations might have become fixed in the progression -I think the take-home is JB is dead set that Rambautis wrong and actually B came before A. Because?

Is this something or nothing? I can't quite get my head around it.

I think JB main point is they removed some SRA data re early cases - the data IMO - and maybe I can be shown the error of my ways - adds basically zero. It allows JB to complain about lack of transparency I guess.

We already discussed this - the 'intermediates' are dubious and from February

It's a weird sort of stream of consciousness paper. Very naughty to include an email from the unrelated pangolin study in there. Is that even legal?

The WA1 tree - fig 4 and 6 looks fine to me - but me and trees so i really dunno. However the midle guangdong tree looks like :hankey: and forced just based on where WA1 lands, but again i'm no good here at all.

The February part seems important....

Unrelated pangolin study - must be either from Alina or a present to Alina. Seriously - not legal - invasion of privacy -unless he got permission somehow from all parties.

Yes, I agree. Can't believe he is doing this.
