Why not? Wuhan is the 43rd largest city in the world. Meanwhile, the earliest cases of CoVid were all connected to the same wet market. Doesn't that have a higher probability being the origin?

Evidence points to it _not_ being from the wet markets in China:

This claim has less weight if China does not share the raw data.

Your source cites the WSJ, which itself cites the Wuhan Virology Institute, which is trying to imply that China may not be the origin of CoVid at all, so I don't believe it.

Perhaps it would have burned itself out if it hadn't spread to the market.
