"Statisticians Challenge COVID Market Origins Hypothesis"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Newsweek
A study on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, which concluded that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the likely epicenter, has been criticized by statisticians who found flaws in the data and methodology used. The critics identified alternative potential origins for the virus and emphasized the need for further investigation. However, the original authors defended their study, pointing to circumstantial evidence and epidemiological links to the market. The definitive evidence for the pandemic's origins remains elusive, but the Huanan Seafood Market continues to be a strong candidate based on available data.
