So it’s been two years and the majority of the US still pushes Wuhan as the origin of the pandemic.

What is the counter-narrative/truth to this position ? Any evidence come up in the last couple of years? Thank you.

    So far, not that I know of.

    A few days ago I heard on the radio that the WHO has found that it actually did come from a wet market in Wuhan, but googling for the news is not giving me any recent results, so that’s weird.

    All it gives me is that the origin is more complicated than thought and that it needs further research.

        Oh yeah it’s entirely possible. Diseases regularly originate in places with lots of animals cramped together, especially here in The Netherlands and Belgium. But the media goes on a run with it. It is portraying China as some barbaric country because of it. And all wet markets should be banned.

        Funny how that talk is never present when a bird flu pops up in one of our chicken farms. These farms never have to disappear somehow.

          Never will they mention things like how in the US (not allowed in Europe as far as I know) diseases are purposefully spread among farm animals to boost profit. For example they will infect chickens with diseases that increase egg production. Or how our insane use of antibiotics on farm animals has pretty much irreversibly put us on a path into a post antibiotic era of superbugs immune to them- also the fault of the US. Just another way the insane rapacious oligarchs in the US will bring the rest of the world down with them.
