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.

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 …

I’m going to say it: His death is suspicious AF, inquest notwithstanding. Maybe he was physically weakened by the covid infection, maybe he got ahold of some bad dope. 1) did others in the same black market in Wales suffer fatalities? 2) This has Shane Todd written all over it.

• His knowledge of his own contact-tracing • His T-cell and B-cell serotype • (to a lesser extent) his firsthand knowledge of the Huanan market during the infectious period. All could have helped elucidate origins understanding. I hope the toxicologist saved a blood sample.

yeah, that was a pretty thoroughly documented early infection - and it does really call some things into question.
