@LawrenceGostin New evidence - Bloom found environmental samples don't support a link with susceptible animals & SC2 genetic material. Animal CoVs linked to these animals but SARS-COV-2 isn't one of them. Lv al published new genomes suggest single poin
@mkeulemans Liu et al (2023) point out the search in the market was biased towards the wildlife-stalls. Even then Jesse Bloom has shown there is a negative correlation with susceptible animals and SARS-COV-2 genetic material. https://t.co/Pr6QqQko4O
@RuxandraTeslo Correct. Bloom has published two studies on the environmental samples. Latest shows genetic material from some animal CoVs is fairly abundant in samples collected during the wildlife-stall sampling Jan-12-2020. However, SARSCoV2 is not one o
@LanderPeterjohn An opinion (shared by Dwyer) was widely disseminated in 2023 & promoted Raccoon-dog as THE spillover host based on 1 analysis of genetic data in HSM swabs, but Dr. Bloom's analyses indicated this opinion was based on flawed interpretat
