What's the original source for the "Wuhan seafood market" hypothesis?

#12Yeah I have a hard time believing it has been definitively proven that the market was the source of the virus. Wouldn’t that mean they have the carcass of whatever animal transmitted the virus in their possession? And did the first person known to have contracted it actually say they went there?

#13There are allegations that the coronavirus may have been stolen from a Canadian bioweapons facility, and that coronavirus, weaponized, is now more virulent.

Why would they have a carcass of something someone ate at least a week before they got sick they caught the virus?

#15There is a recently opened P4 biolab in Wuhan within miles of the seafood market in question, with researchers who have recently been working with and publishing on the topic of Corona viruses, including research on human transmission. Not to be sensationalist, and personally I think the title is alarmist, but are a number of suspicious elements to this story that are worth examining: https://medium.com/@siradrianbon…
There is a 2017 article on Nature on that laboratory in Wuhan:

FWIW, https://old.reddit.com/user/BurrShotFirst1804 is claiming that this (preprint, unreviewed) paper is very misleading, speaking as (supposedly) someone highly familiar with at least one of these HIV proteins. Not sure what to make of either the paper itself or this response to it.
Difficult to properly peer review when things are moving so quickly.

‘Number of suspicious elements’
Even the VOA has came out to classify this as a hoax. Sometimes people just want to believe in conspiracies.

I’ve seen nothing reported on what actually happened, including the allegation someone actually ate something. It could have been transmitted by just walking near something.

Who is "Adrian Bond", I wonder? Can't find anything about the author.
