On 3/17/23, the MSM news cycle was dominated by an incredible claim by a group of international scientists: \\u201cnew data\\u201d from early 2020 linked raccoon dogs at the Wuhan Seafood Market to the origin of COVID-19. When \\u201cRaccoon Dog Mediapalooza\\u201d commenced, journalists and science reporters had no data, no preprint, and no peer reviewed paper to validate the claims of these scientists. Now we have all three. Independent analysis of the \\u201cnew data\\u201d shows that the international scientists, largely comprised of \\u201cthe usual suspects,\\u201d have once again misrepresented the evidence to support their preferred narrative [a natural spillover at the Huanan Seafood Market] and have co-opted the mainstream media to amplify it. Today, I interview Dr. Steven Massey to discuss #raccoondoggate, the data, what it shows\\u2014and more importantly, what it does not show. Spoiler alert: No credible evidence links raccoon dogs to the origin of COVID-19. Period. After interviewing Steve, one conclusion is clear: it is absurd to conclude from the \\u201cnew data\\u201d that an infected raccoon dog at the Huanan Seafood Market is linked to the origin of COVID-19. We answer the question proposed in the first installment of this travesty: Yes, raccoon dogs are the new pangolins! Dr. Massey is a researcher in bioinformatics, metagenomics and genomics, complexity and molecular evolution.
