Comment by Angela Rasmussen

Feel free to read. They are not well-supported or very convincing to me, but the beauty of living in a free society is you can decide for yourself. Anyway, some people still do find this persuasive, although it appears to be mostly know-it-all men who run around on Substack being smug and deflecting from their total lack of expertise by babbling about Bayesian priors. Unfortunately, I still hear it enough that I felt it was important to summarize what the evidence actually shows in an accessible way: the pandemic emerged in humans via zoonotic spillover at the Huanan market.
