🚨🚨🚨 @KatherineJWu first to get this scoop down.
The Chinese CDC finally uploaded market sampling data, and as expected, environmental swaps positive for SARS-CoV-2 point to raccoon dogs.
Yet another strong piece of evidence for #zoonotic origin & against any #lableak myth

@KatherineJWu Just to add a bit of context:
Environmental swaps were taken from the Huanan market, and that many of them tested positive was already confirmed a year ago in a pre-print from researchers at the Chinese CDC.
However, they did not make their sequencing data available and...
