> The thing is there is no evidence that the virus spread from animals to humans...none of the environmental samples showed any signs that an infected animals was present, all the environmental samples were deposited by humans...With SARS2 we have not found ANYTHING! No environmental samples different than the human derived samples. No market animal in China or anywhere else with a variant circulating unique to their species.

These guys would disagree with you. There was never any direct link found pointing to an origin at the market, but there was plenty of evidence including evidence for spillover.
