If you believe the virus came from the Wuhan center and that was covered up, how could you trust a scientist from there to truthfully make this report? They could have just omitted a match to SARS-CoV2 if they found one.
Probably this needed to be published but it seems like a lose-lose proposition for the researchers and I doubt it will give conspiracy theorists a pause.

What kind of title is that when it ends up with this article:
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03982-2?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=nature
I don't understand why you wouldn't just link the article...

"Wuhan lab samples hold no close relatives to virus behind COVID"
So... does this mean we can finally put the lab-leak theory to rest? (Please?)

Can't put the genie back in the bottle. Would probably be a different story if China released this years ago.

Because, surely, they got access to all of the samples, right?

They should compare them to the COVID outbreak in 2017 in Kansas City.

As best I can tell, no such thing happened. Feel free to provide some credible sources to back that up though.
