New Study Links COVID-19 Origins to Wuhan Market, Raccoon Dog DNA Found
Sep 19, 2024, 05:41 PM
A new study on the origin of COVID-19 has provided evidence supporting the theory that humans first contracted the virus from infected animals at a Chinese market in late 2019. The study, authored by Crits-Christoph et al., suggests that the virus's genetic material traced back to wildlife at the Wuhan market, including raccoon dog DNA. The findings have sparked controversy, with some scientists questioning the premises and conclusions of the study. Critics have called for an investigation into the study for possible scientific misconduct and have urged the journal Cell to issue an Expression of Editorial Concern. Despite the controversy, the study's genetic evidence indicates that the coronavirus pandemic most likely spilled over from animals in the Wuhan market.
