"China has pushed a dubious hypothesis that the virus originated outside its borders entirely, suggesting at one point that it was carried into the Huanan market via imported frozen foods. It has strongly pushed back on suggestions of a possible lab leak and had previously denied the existence of any wild animals in Huanan that could have acted as intermediate hosts."

"One of the co-authors of the study, Eddie Holmes, had been taken to the Huanan market several years before the pandemic [in 2014] and shown raccoon dogs in one of the stalls. In one photo, the raccoon dogs are in a cage stacked on top of a cage with some birds in it.

"At the end of our sleuth work, we checked the GPS coordinates on his camera, and we find that he took the photo at the same stall, where five samples tested positive for SARS-CoV-2."
