that a zoonotic transfer is plausible...given that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Anderson and numerous other virologists place their bets on this vector, there is every reason to believe their assessment. There have been several studies since that time as well with the same determination...which cannot be confirmed because the Chinese government removed all animals from the market in question...a bummer for all of us.
No one is more committed to finding the true absolute origin of COVID-19 than Dr. Fauci...that kind of critical knowledge is what he's sought throughout his entire Medical and Public Service career...long before the arrival of the one who called COVID a "Hoax" and admitted to taking steps to "Play it Down" in advance of his hoped for reelection.
All this nonsense does is expose the political opportunists and gullible followers among us...sad, bu true.
