A novel viruses spilled over right where they were doing spillover studies with live novel viruses
It was a SARSr-CoV, and they were studying SARSr-CoVs
It used ACE2 (not all SARSr-CoVs do), and they were focused on ones using ACE2

1\ @kgandersen.bsky.social critiques this paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.20076 This critique is unsound. Multiple spillovers could result in a large range of divergence in the spillover lineages, and could generate a large range of relative clade sizes.
2+ spillovers does not automatically make 2 equal

The nail in the coffin for the double spillover nonsense from Pekar et al:

"Working within the Pekar 2022 model and data set, Angus has shown that fixing a plain error in mathematical logic reverses the conclusion." (h/t Michael Weissman)

Terrible propaganda from nature.
It seems to be equivocating any evidence of infection with evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
There is no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
There's strong evidence of infection with other viruses, such as raccoon dog amdovirus

If Trump got elected because of inflation, and the inflation is a result of Covid-19
Then virologists got Trump elected, and should be the last ones whining about it

With only a few civil and fact-backed posts, the prominent supporters of a market zoonosis have blocked me.
It is clear they are not interested in rational discourse.
