is the conclusion simply that animals that could have had SARS-COV2 were at the market? i dont see how that's evidence either way.
wuhan is situated where it is because of close proximity to animals that can contain sars viruses, it makes transporting and collecting samples far easier. that's a known reality.
they also study how to take samples of those viruses, test whether they can jump to humans, and then if not play with them to see if they can get them communicable. that's the goal of the lab afaik, to take samples of sars viruses to study markers to predict which ones can jump, and if not do gain of function until they can, again to trace markers to predict this stuff.
my issue isn't ideological to "prove" where it came from, its just laughing at the years i was told it's literally not possible it came from a lab. and being shut up for even suggesting it was possible. those same people said no way they were doing gain of function, and any samples there must purely be collected from wild life. which seems put into the dust these days.
