Plot twist for the Science article that generated many headlines about the initial known case being connected to the Wuhan market. As author graciously acknowledges here, the internet researchers—so-called sleuths—have shown the claim to be wrong. Will there be new headlines?https://twitter.com/MichaelWorobey/status/1470159029997428736 …

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.

For some reason there is very little interest in his case. Not sure why.https://twitter.com/Jane_of_art/status/1470246376550252544 …

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 …

Also compatible with market being an amplifying event—as Chinese scientist long claimed. Or China hiding cases—the list they gave still doesn’t make sense, has unexplained issues. Or Wuhan CDC with lab, few hundreds yards from that market being involved. Or market being source.

NHK aired a documentary on COVID origins. They showed that in Wuhan it has been a big increase in hospital visits (or admissions) during November 2019 coincidentally with the flu season.https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/documentary/20210411/4001389/ …

Well that could also be… flu season.

Nobody can believe that they haven’t analyzed blood bank samples from that period in Wuhan This is the bare minimum and could provide a huge amount of info. So yes they are obviously smoke screening a lot

I would say it's not 100% sure. Possible that as central power decided early on (March 2020) to deflect blame on the outside world, they just stopped all scientific investigations. No scientist would dare doing it, because providing the answer would be self-destruction

very credible reporting: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/30/asia/wuhan-china-covid-intl/index.html … it pretty much indicates a lot of infections and cover-up.
