RFK Jr. Confirmed as HHS Secretary; Widespread Firings Coming to FDA, CDC – Food Safety Magazine Source Link Excerpt:
Changes are coming to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Trump Administration with the recent confirmation of presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., J.D. (RFK Jr.) as Secretary, amid talks of major workforce reductions at HHS agencies including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
On Thursday, February 13, 2025, RFK Jr., known for his “Make America Healthy Again” (“MAHA”) agenda, was confirmed as HHS Secretary in a 52-48 Senate vote. Shortly after confirmation, he signed President Trump’s executive order, titled, Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, which orders “executive departments and agencies that address health or healthcare,” including agencies responsible for food safety, to “focus on reversing chronic disease.”
The study analyzed the impact of 14 state-level pro-life laws that either effectively banned abortion or protected preborn children after six weeks’ gestation. It considered state-level infant mortality data from 2012 to 2023. This study has received a great deal of uncritical coverage from many mainstream media outlets including the New York Times, CNN, BBC, The Hill, Time, and USA Today.
Not surprisingly, there is less here than meets the eye. The data indicate that overall infant mortality rates increased in 2022 but declined in 2023. Additionally, 2023 saw infant mortality rate declines in both the group of states with strong pro-life laws and the group of states with permissive abortion policies. There is no consistent upward trajectory in infant mortality. Furthermore, infant mortality rate trends appear fairly similar in both groups of states.
A proposed law could force California health insurers to explain claim denials – Los Angeles Times Source Link Excerpt:
When Colleen Henderson’s 3-year-old daughter complained of pain while using the bathroom, doctors brushed it off as a urinary tract infection or constipation, common maladies in the potty-training years.
Henderson, however, suspected it could be something worse, and asked for an ultrasound. The doctor and ultrasound technician told her that her insurance provider, UnitedHealthcare, would not cover it, but Henderson decided to do it anyway, charging the $6,000 procedure to her credit card. Then came the news: There was a grapefruit-sized tumor in her toddler’s bladder.
A research team from the Keck School of Medicine at USC has identified the mechanisms of a cellular pathway that drives inflammation and aging, particularly in individuals with the APOE4 genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Their study also reveals a method for restoring cells to a healthy state, offering a potential new avenue for treatment. This discovery, the result of a decade-long investigation into the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) protein, was recently published in the journal Molecular Neurodegeneration.
Previous research has shown that low levels of HDL cholesterol—often called “good” cholesterol—in the brain increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. This risk is linked to dysfunction in ABCA1, a protein responsible for producing HDL when functioning correctly.
But fixing those problems requires understanding the exact biological mechanisms at play—and those details have long eluded researchers, who faced an apparent paradox. In brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease, ABCA1 molecules increased, but their activity decreased.
The H5N1 bird flu is still raging across America, leading the destruction of 148 million birds since 2022. As a result, the price of eggs has continued to go up, and now companies like Costco, Kroger, and Whole Foods are now putting restrictions on how many eggs each customer can buy. The question remains to some whether the bird flu is more hype and the chicken slaughtering is sabotage.
Grocery Chains Ration Eggs After Mass Chicken Slaughter For Bird Flu – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Democrats have been running the “what about egg prices?” line of attack against Trump hot and heavy lately, making the argument that egg prices are still astronomical and growing despite Trump promising to bring them down and having a full three weeks to reverse five years of economic sabotage by his predecessor.
What they conveniently leave out of the egg price narrative is that the Public Health™ authorities have been busy slaughtering poultry by the hundreds of millions for at least three years now.
Whether it’s ducks or chickens, since the current strain of bird flu, H5N1, reached the United States in 2022, over 148 million birds have been ordered euthanized.
“It’s a staggering number, there is no doubt,” said Jodie Guest, a professor of epidemiology with Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta. “But it is, and always has been a policy across administrations, with the USDA, that this is how they handle infections like this among poultry. And as we’ve seen bird flu move [across] species, it becomes even more important to try to contain that infection in the flocks that it’s in, so that we don’t continue to see spread.”
Brown Medical School Gives DEI More Weight Than ‘Clinical Skills’ in Promotion Criteria for Faculty– freebeacon.com Source Link Excerpt:
Brown University Medical School now gives “diversity, equity, and inclusion” more weight than “excellent clinical skills” in its promotion criteria for faculty, raising questions about the quality of teaching and patient care at the elite medical school and underscoring how deeply DEI has penetrated medical education.
The criteria, which are posted on Brown’s website and have not been previously reported, list a “demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a “major criterion” for all positions within the Department of Medicine, which oversees the bulk of the school’s clinical units. Clinical skills, by contrast, only count as a “minor criterion” for many roles.
Doctors who reviewed the criteria were alarmed, saying they reflect an unusually frank admission that merit is taking a back seat to DEI.
“This is as stark as it gets,” said Bob Cirincione, an orthopedic surgeon in Hagerstown, Maryland. The criteria “say what DEI in medical schools is all about. And it’s not about clinical performance.”
Bird Flu Could Be ‘More Catastrophic Than COVID’– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
Health officials in Louisiana announced Monday the first bird flu death in the United States. The elderly individual, who had underlying medical conditions, was exposed to the virus from a backyard flock and wild birds.
There have been 66 reported cases of bird flu in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the risk remains law, the CDC’s former director has urged Americans to take the virus seriously.
Robert Redfield, who led the CDC during the first Trump administration, spoke with The Daily Signal last year about bird flu. He predicted bird flu, also known as H5N1, would be “much more catastrophic than the COVID pandemic.”
Harvest Organs From Euthanasia Victims Before Death– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
Canadian doctors have suggested killing euthanasia victims by taking their organs, according to multiple reports, whistleblowers, and public talks. Medical freedom advocates are documenting emerging ties between “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) and organ harvesting.
“The best use of my organs, if I’m going to receive a medically assisted death, might be to not first kill me and then retrieve my organs, but to have my mode of death — as we medically consider death now — to be to retrieve my organs,” said Rob Sibbald, an ethicist of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario.
Other Canadian doctors have publicly embraced “death by donation,” and a study came out earlier this year exploring euthanasia programs such as MAID as a means of organ harvesting. Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then the number of Canadians using MAID to kill themselves has significantly increased.
China’s Hospitals Report Surge in HMVP Respiratory Virus that Causes Cold-Like Symptoms in Most People– legalinsurrection.com Source Link Excerpt:
China is currently experiencing a significant outbreak of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory virus that was first identified in 2001 and which causes cold-like symptoms in most people.
However, the very young and elderly can be hit hard, as well as those with weakened immune systems. So, China’s hospitals are reporting a significant uptick in cases of HMVP infections as people seek relief from severe symptoms.
China is experiencing a surge in cases of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), leading to overcrowded hospitals and raising public concern about a potential epidemic. The outbreak coincides with the winter season, which typically sees an increase in respiratory illnesses due to colder weather and more indoor activities facilitating the spread of viruses.
El Financiero, BBC News, The Independent, Marca, ABP News, and Newsweek reported on the surge in HMPV patients in China, among other news outlets.
In response to the rising cases, the Chinese government announced measures to curb the increase of respiratory diseases. These measures include constant monitoring of cases, the adoption of masks, social distancing, and disinfection of public spaces.
“It is safe to travel to China,” said Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs during a press conference, reassuring that both locals and tourists can feel safe traveling in China. Mao emphasized that the current situation is a normal seasonal rise in respiratory infections and not a cause for alarm.
From their own mouths, woke “medical” doctors are “celebrating” the news that the Covid-19 lockdowns helped create an environment that allowed more children to be indoctrinated with the rainbow ideology. The study comes from the British Journal of Developmental Psychology.
A PhD student quoted in the News Medical Life Sciences article said, “The lockdown period of the pandemic gave many people the space and time to figure out who they are and what is important to them, which for many of our participants, included their gender identity.”
Study reveals positive impact of COVID-19 lockdown on gender identity development – News-Medical.Net Source Link Excerpt:
Research published in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown had largely positive impacts on gender identity development in trans and gender diverse youth.
For the study, 295 transgender and gender diverse U.S. youth, ages 13–22 years, were asked the open-ended question “How has the COVID pandemic changed or affected your own understanding of your gender identity?”
Responses revealed several themes. The most prevalent was “time for identity development,” suggesting that the pandemic and lockdown created space and time to explore and resolve their gender identity.
“The lockdown period of the pandemic gave many people the space and time to figure out who they are and what is important to them, which for many of our participants, included their gender identity,” said corresponding author Sydney Hainsworth, who was a PhD student at the University of Arizona while conducting this research and is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota.
Researchers out of Saudi Arabia and Egypt published a study in PubMed that claims Covid-19 mRNA Vaccinated mothers were significantly more likely to lose their unborn child than mothers who did not receive the vaccine.
From the study, “…women in Group B had a significantly higher rate of abortions, oligohydramnios (24.4%), abnormal placentas (size and location), 103 (42.7%) abnormal fetal growth, 122 (53.7%) problems breastfeeding, blood pressure problems, and more cases of malaise, headaches, chest pain, breathing problems, and sleep problems than women in Group A.”
Covid ‘Vaccines’ Trigger Spontaneous Abortions & Still Births in Pregnant Mothers, Study Finds– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A study has revealed the alarming impact of Covid mRNA “vaccines” on pregnant mothers and their unborn children.
The shocking side effects of the injections were revealed in a study conducted in 2022 and published in 2024.
The study was conducted by a group of leading researchers in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The results of the study were published in the peer-reviewed journal PubMed.
The study documented a litany of adverse events suffered by pregnant mothers following Covid “vaccine” administration.
It compared non-vaccinated mothers (Group A) to vaccinated mothers (Group B).
The researchers found that women who received Covid mRNA shots during pregnancy had higher rates of miscarriage, abnormal placentas, decreased amniotic fluid, and abnormal birth weights.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom Declares State of Emergency over Bird Flu– legalinsurrection.com Source Link Excerpt:
Americans throughout the nation can rejoice that President/President-elect Donald J. Trump tapped Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford physician and economist whose challenged the disastrous covid lockdown policies, to be the director of the National Institutes of Health.
Let’s hope Bhattacharya’s formal appointment processes goes smoothly and quickly, because California Gov. Gavin Newsom has “proactively” revving up a state response to the bird flu outbreak in California.
Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency as the H5N1 bird flu virus moves from the Central valley to Southern California herds and federal officials confirmed flu in a Louisiana patient hospitalized with severe illness. This is the first case of severe illness caused by bird flu in the U.S., and is considered a concerning development as the virus continues to spread throughout the nation via migrating birds.
The declaration will allow for a more streamlined approach among state and local agencies to tackle the virus, providing “flexibility around staffing, contracting, and other rules to support California’s evolving response,” according to a statement issued Wednesday morning.
“Building on California’s testing and monitoring system — the largest in the nation — we are committed to further protecting public health, supporting our agriculture industry, and ensuring that Californians have access to accurate, up-to-date information,” said Newsom in a statement. “While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”
Pfizer has released updated numbers on the results of their Covid-19 vaccine’s use, exposing the harm it has done to the unborn children of mothers who took the hastily created and approved vaccine. According to their own findings, vaccinated mothers’ unborn children were four times more likely to have major congenital abnormalities.
Major Birth Abnormalities Surge Among Covid-Vaccinated Mothers– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Newly emerged data has revealed an alarming surge in major birth abnormalities among mothers who have received Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

Pfizer recently updated the results of their randomized clinical trial of the Covid injections on pregnant women.
The clinical trial, IDNCT04754594, is entitled: “To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of BNT162b2 Against COVID-19 in Healthy Pregnant Women 18 Years of Age and Older.”
The results from the trial were analyzed by MIT computer scientist and data expert Steve Kirsch.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has sent a letter to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), saying “While your agencies have largely ignored or failed to fully cooperate with my oversight efforts, I can assure you that your obstruction will soon come to an end. agencies’ refusal to provide complete and unredacted responses and documents to my numerous oversight letters on the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines has hindered Congressional oversight and has jeopardized the public’s health.”
Johnson threatens legal action to get COVID-19 vaccine data – Washington Examiner Source Link Excerpt:
(The Center Square) – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has threatened to issue a subpoena when he becomes chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations if three federal health agencies continue to withhold data on the adverse health effects wrought by the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a letter addressed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services, Johnson demanded that the agencies preserve all records referring to the development, safety, and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, and to produce the records without redactions by Dec. 3.
“While your agencies have largely ignored or failed to fully cooperate with my oversight efforts, I can assure you that your obstruction will soon come to an end,” Johnson wrote Tuesday. “Your agencies’ refusal to provide complete and unredacted responses and documents to my numerous oversight letters on the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines has hindered Congressional oversight and has jeopardized the public’s health.”
Johnson has requested full versions of three sections within a FOIA from May 2021, which the CDC so heavily redacted that no scientific data was revealed.
One of the sections revealed that then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky received Pfizer data regarding the number of myocarditis cases associated with the vaccine, though the 14-page document is completely redacted except for the cover page.
Other data requested in full by Johnson consists of emails within the CDC, showing that officials initially planned to send out a Health Alert Network message to the public about the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Johnson reiterated his request that the CDC release all communications and briefings regarding the decision not to issue the HAN, which he originally asked for in January.
He also demanded to see the completely redacted 17 pages of apparent COVID-19 talking points that the Biden White House sent out to the America’s top public health officials.
“What is clear from these excessive redactions, however, is a concerted effort to obscure Congress’ and the public’s understanding of your agencies’ detection of and response to COVID-19 vaccine adverse events such as myocarditis and pericarditis,” Johnson concluded. “Ultimately, despite your agencies’ awareness of the risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccines, the main talking point from these and other public health officials was uniform and entirely deceptive: the vaccines are safe and effective.”
Johnson, ranking member of the committee for a short time longer until majority flips from Democrats to Republicans with seating of the 119th Congress, has sent more than 60 public letters to federal agencies regarding the origins and treatment of the COVID-19 virus.
His demands come as the GOP-led House Energy and Commerce Committee released a report showing the Biden administration spent $900 million promoting faulty health messaging around the COVID-19 virus and vaccines.
South Korea’s Excess Deaths Skyrocket Among Vaccinated Population– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
South Korea’s almost universally Covid-vaccinated population has suffered a staggering five-fold surge in excess deaths since Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.
Prominent Korean researchers are raising the alarm after obtaining official data that exposes the massive spike.
A trio of researchers from the city of Daegu located in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea published their findings in a report on excess death data during the Covid pandemic from 2020 to 2022.
The researchers obtained the official cause-of-death statistics covering 2015 to 2022 from the government’s Statistics Korea.
The dataset includes information such as age, gender, cause of death, and place of death.
The data included a total of 2,431,753 deaths recorded from January 2015 to December 2022.
The investigators excluded 308 deaths because they lacked age information.
The researchers focused on the total all-cause mortality rates to eliminate any misreporting from the cause of death statistics.
By analyzing all-cause mortality, the researchers were able to establish excess death numbers – the total that is above or below expected rates.
Excess deaths only spike above average during an unusual event such as a war or major natural disaster.
The researchers’ investigational quest was to better understand comprehensively the pandemic’s impact on excess deaths in South Korea.
During their study, they compared total mortality rates before and during a pandemic.
The aim was to compare excess deaths in Korea during the pandemic using three methods and to analyze patterns using the most appropriate method.
Those methods include:
Simple average
Age-adjusted average
Age-adjusted linear regression
The study authors also presented excess deaths by age, gender, and cause of death.
The Daegu-based trio of study authors found excess deaths remained at average levels throughout 2020, the first year of the pandemic.
Excess deaths rose to be above average during 2021.
However, excess death rates surged dramatically from January through May 2022.
The data shows a soaring rate of young adults dying early on.
This was followed by mass deaths among the elderly during the intensive surge in 2022.
In June 2022, the excess death rates fell from the severe spike.
However, excess deaths remained way above average and continued to climb for the rest of 2022.
The study didn’t examine the data for 2023.
Interestingly, however, the researchers did not mention Covid “vaccines” once in their report, despite the previous correlation.
The link should be investigated.
It will not, however, due to insidious pandemic politics involving government, academia, and industry.
A fear of a backlash from promoting “vaccine hesitancy” possibly superseded credible, and urgently needed scientific inquiry.
Excess Deaths South Korea—note mass vaccination occurred a year prior
Excess death figures changed, based on the estimation method, reaching the apex with the simple average and its lowest with the age-adjusted average.
Age-adjusted linear regression, which accounts for both the aging population and declining mortality rates, was considered most appropriate, according to Professor Duk-Hee Lee and colleagues.
Based on this latter model, the authors estimated excess deaths at 0.3% for 2020, 4.0% for 2021, and 20.7% for 2022.
Why did excess deaths increase five-fold after the mass vaccination of the Korean population?
This point is not even raised by the authors.
Throughout the pandemic, excess deaths surged among young people and adolescents.
Yet, these age groups faced very little impact from COVID-19 due to a very low risk from the virus.
80 percent of South Korea’s population was deemed fully vaccinated, surpassing the World Health Organization (WHO) target of 70%.
Nevertheless, the coronavirus continues its spread, with reports that Covid “vaccines” are not effective in tackling the virus.
Yet, South Korea is still administering booster shots despite concerns about the effectiveness of the existing vaccine, as reported in the Journal of Korean Medical Science.
Most South Koreans received their COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021.
The majority of the population was vaccinated between July and October 2021.
The vaccination campaign started earlier in the year, focusing on high-priority groups like healthcare workers and the elderly.
In mid-2021, as more vaccine supplies became available, the country ramped up its efforts to vaccinate the general public.
South Korea had vaccinated about 70% of its population with at least one dose by October 2021.
By November, over 80% of the population had been fully vaccinated.
Shortly after, excess deaths skyrocketed.
In the first half of 2022, disturbing surges in pandemic-related deaths emerged across heavily vaccinated nations including South Korea.
Gaslighting health officials argue that these spikes were caused by Covid.
However, there was no increase in excess deaths until after the “vaccines” were rolled out.
In addition, if the “vaccines” were supposed to stop the virus, “Covid deaths” should have fallen, not increased.
Possibly due to the politics of COVID-19 and the fear that any critical findings could trigger vaccine hesitancy, reporting on such matters appears taboo among governments and academic researchers worldwide.
Moderna Caught Offering Children Cash to Test Covid ‘Boosters’– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Pharmaceutical giant Moderna has been caught offering children cash rewards for taking part in medical trials to test experimental Covid mRNA “booster” shots.
The company representatives were found to be using WhatsApp messages to minors in the UK.
The UK Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) launched an investigation into the vaccine makers over complaints that Moderna was offering money to children between the ages of 12 and 18.
The WhatsApp messages offered children £1,500 ($1,962) each in return for being injected with experimental Covid mRNA “vaccines.”
The PMCPA ruled that the offer amounted to “inappropriate financial inducement.”
Moderna under fire after children offered cash to test Covid vaccine – The Telegraph UK
The UK Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) ruled that the offer amounted to “inappropriate financial inducement” and found the company had brought “discredit upon the pharmaceutical industry”.
The offer was made by a paediatrician from an unnamed NHS trust, inviting those aged between 12 and 18 years old to enrol in the NextCove trial, which was examining the efficacy of Moderna’s booster jab.
The inducement was made even though a research ethics committee had warned about the “large amount of money” that Moderna was offering participants, and voiced concern it was “much higher than would be considered a reasonable reimbursement”.
The Japanese are being sold a bill of goods regarding the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine a rising number of citizens are saying. They’re warning other Japanese that the plan to roll out the vaccine, which they refer to as a “Replicon” vaccine, could be equivalent to a “Third Atomic Bomb” being set off in their nation.
Dr. Robert Malone, the mRNA inventor, has been meeting with these Japanese groups, reporting “I just came back from Tokyo where they had a 30,000-person rally because they’re about to deploy self-replicating RNA vaccines. Japan is being used as the guinea pig for the world for this new technology. The Japanese people are calling this the third atomic bomb.”

Some of Japan’s most prominent scientists, doctors, immunologists, and academics are sounding the alarm over the new injections.
They are warning that the “self-replicating RNA vaccines” are the “third atomic bomb.”
Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology, has just returned from Japan where he met with experts to discuss the new injections.
As Slay News previously reported, the “replicon vaccines,” named ARCT-154, were recently approved for public use by the Japanese government and will be deployed later this month.
Malone revealed that there is an uprising emerging among the people of Japan.
FDA/DOD Whistleblower Drops Bombshell: Government Countermeasures Killed More People than Covid– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A former top official with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) has come forward with bombshell whistleblower allegations about the true cause of deaths during and after the “pandemic.”
The stunning whistleblower disclosures were made by Dr. Jose-Luis Sagripanti, a highly credible source who gave over three decades of federal service before recently retiring.
Dr. Sagripanti served as a high-level administrator for both the FDA and the DOD.
He was appointed to the U.S. Army in October 2000, as the ST for Biochemistry, a position with Presidential Protocol 6 at the highest technical level in the U.S. government.
Canadian Government Admits Deaths Surged Among Covid-Boosted Citizens– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Canadian government has been forced to admit that death rates surged among citizens who received Covid mRNA “booster” shots.
The damning admission was revealed in previously hidden data that lawmakers compelled that nation’s top federal health agency to hand over.
A parliamentary inquiry ordered the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to unseal and surrender data for the country’s death rates during the pandemic.
The data revealed that the individuals who received the so-called “boosters” died at far higher rates than unvaccinated individuals during the same period.
On page 2 of the PHAC response, the health agency admits:
“Across all weeks in the time period of interest, the number of deaths were highest among those with a primary series and 1 additional dose.”
A group of international researchers conducted a study on the origins of the COVID-19 virus. They published their findings in Cell, a scientific journal. The group concluded the virus came from animals infected by the COVID-19 virus who were they sold in a wildlife trade market called the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.
They summarized, “Zoonotic spillovers of viruses have occurred through the animal trade worldwide. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic was traced epidemiologically to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market… This analysis provides the genetic basis for a shortlist of potential intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 to prioritize for serological and viral sampling.”
Wuhan market increasingly likely origin point for COVID-19– cosmosmagazine.com Source Link Excerpt:
An international team of researchers has found more evidence that COVID-19 came from animals in a Wuhan food market.
The researchers have identified wildlife present at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in early 2020 via traces of their DNA, and say it’s likely that some of these animals were infected with COVID-19.
“Extensive epidemiological evidence supports wildlife trade at the Huanan market as the most likely conduit for the COVID-19 pandemic’s origin,” write the researchers in their paper.
“This paper adds another layer to the accumulating evidence that all points to the same scenario: that infected animals were introduced into the market in mid- to late November 2019, which sparked the pandemic,” says co-corresponding author Professor Kristian Andersen, a researcher at Scripps Research, USA.
