But more. If you read his thread, he correctly points out first *known* case isn’t that dispositive. But that’s not how the media coverage played out. It will be interesting to see if what they considered so important before is seen as just as important now that it is reversed.

There was credible reporting China knows of November cases. What little they told us of December cases is contradictory, incoherent and incomplete. I don’t think it’s possible to make sound conclusions. Their scientists long said market was an amplifying event. But we don’t know.

So I don’t think known first case is decisive either way, given the ongoing coverup. But a study of how the initial report played out on social media and media, and see if it’s exactly reverse in visibility, tone and implication now that facts are reversed? That’d be interesting.

To emphasize: I don’t think first *known* case is dispositive either way. First known case could be non-market, but market still be the source and vice versa—even if there had been a real investigation. Cryptic transmission, lost chains. And we don’t even have that investigation.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1470243909007810564 …

As Worobey describes in this thread the evidence for the Huanan Market origin continues to pile up. Meanwhile the scientific evidence for SARS-COV-2's natural acquisition of FCS and the larger than expected range of Rhinolophus bat are filling in the evolutionary story of COVID.

Honestly I think it's disingenuous for you to selectively quote this thread in a way that is likely to be (and has been, looking at replies and quote tweets) interpreted as support for the lab leak hypothesis, when it is nothing of the kind.
