[2021-03-26 15:49:12] [Robert Garry] Here's the photo from your CNN report - unverified footage they say but sure looks like the same animal species. [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-03-26 15:51:21] [Eddie Holmes] So, they've been selling these animals there for years. An accident waiting to happen.

There were many cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan before the market outbreak. In addition, the only live animals in the market seem to have been *snakes, turtles, and frogs*, none of whom are potential carriers, and they all tested negative. Peter Daszak himself has admitted that all of the carcasses examined tested negative for SARS-CoV-2. Yes, you read that right: the theory is based on the fact that they didn't find any infected animals in Wuhan. In any case, the director of China's Center for Disease Control dismissed the market theory last May, explaining that there was no connection and that the virus "existed long before" it was found in the market, which makes it *rather extraordinary that the WHO team chose to spend its limited time poking around the empty building (which had been closed, cleared and disinfected more than a year ago*)."

The world's preeminent scientists say a theory from the Broad Institute's Alina Chan is too wild to be believed. But when the theory is about the possibility of COVID being man-made, is this science or censorship? [2021-03-26 16:03:34] [Robert Garry]
