I found poop on my toiletpaper after taking a dump! They MUST be selling toiletpaper with poop on it!

"A bat, a pangolin and a raccoon dog walk into a bar . . . no, wait . . a bat, a pangolin and a raccoon dog walk into a wet market . . . no, no, wait, I've got it . . a bat, a pangolin and a raccoon dog walk into a bio-lab - cue the punch line and the laugh track : )". When the "official story" has devolved into slapstick.

Only US intelligence agencies would come up with something like raccoon dogs started Covid and think “yea they will totally believe that, we nailed it, call our guy at the Times!”

[kayakMike]

It's like listening to a three year old trying to lie. First it's a bat, then a pangolin, now a raccoon dog, all in a wet market. I thought wet markets sold sea food.

[jamessgian]

From now on “Raccoon Dog” will mean State Gaslighting Story.

[costrow]

It aggravates me that the Times published the Raccoon Dog excuse.

[mitcha]

Anything to avoid financial culpability.

In my lifetime, I would never have thought I would have more up to date news than the news

[rnbsteenstar]

I can't believe they're still on that!

It is effectively impossible that SARS-CoV-2 could have come from a wild animal at the Wuhan Market for the simple reason that it is doubtful, and certainly there is no evidence that wild animals that could have been the intermediary vector were being sold at the market. If any exotic animal was being sold in the market, it would have been a farmed exotic animal. China has a huge industry of farming 10s of millions of Raccoon Dogs for fur. If SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a Raccoon Dog, those massive farms would have had huge repositories of SARS-CoV-2 infected animals. There are exceedingly few wild mammals left in China. Moreover, China has 100s of millions of surveillance cameras everywhere in public, including, especially markets. Where is the video records of the wild animals?

I never knew raccoon dogs were a thing😱🤣

[tariktyler]

Racoon dogs? Oh no it's Rocket Racoon!!

[bjkina]

Thing is, all the earliest 100 cases cluster around the market, most within 5 - 10km, and not the lab which is 35km away.

What everyone is forgetting is that they know that it's a BAT coronavirus and that they still haven't actually found this variant with the furin cleavage site in the bat population. And, no one's asking if raccoon dogs even share space with the bats in the wild for it to have made the jump to them.

[JulianBrook]

It's just as possible it came from the wet market? Statistically speaking, I'd say that's not true. The chances of a freak coronavirus mutation emerging within kilometres from a lab that focuses on gain of function research on coronaviruses, in a country the size of China, can hardly be considered a coincidence. I guarantee this would be made even striking if we knew just how wet markets there are across China. That number would totally clarify just how ridiculous this whole cover up is.

[EyesEarsandBrainEngaged]

My Research Scientist at the Wu lab, contracts their research and then shops at the Wet Market on their way home after work.

[koolkatfelix]

Cherry pink & apple blossom white! 😂

[grimreality]

I was operating on the same wavelength--my first guess was it's a prairie dog.

[Noa]

The hole world knows that sars cov 19 is the product from gain of function...
