Maybe a coincidence but an agreement was recently signed by the authors' institute and guess who?

The Lead Author specifically of the paper:
"Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the prepandemic period in Italy"
is Giovanni Apolone of the "Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori" Milan, Italy

Some funding is involved....
Anyone good at Italian feel free to comment?

"You findee sars cov 2 in old sample back September time, we give you big fat red envelopeee, okey dokey?"

More has emerged regarding the Chinese connection

Two other authors of the "unexpected" paper are mentioned in the above article
(Ugo Pastorino and Gabriella Sozzi of the National Cancer Institute of Milan)

Finally, the Medical Director herself...
Patrizia Monti leaves the Lecco hospital to take up the position of medical director at the National Cancer Institute of Milan,

Barcelona and Brazil were not enough?
Is this a response to the WHO investigation reports?

WHO knows?

And here we have a more scientific critique from

As to be expected the Chinese Media is all over this https://twitter.com/XHNews/status/1328297025633353728

On the pitfalls & dangers of believing new anomalous lab test results which contradict previous findings
(Cross-Reactivity)
Example from Canada in 2003 where results showed SARS but were later found to be due to human CoV-OC43 (HCoV-OC43) cross-reactivity https://twitter.com/BillyBostickson/status/1328280801109102594

Finally let;'s not forget the Barcelona sewage "findings" promoted by Bosch (a close colleague of George Gao) and their strange timing, just before WHO mission to China. As we know, the Chinese used these results to tell the WHO it must investigate Spain https://twitter.com/BillyBostickson/status/127724582879762841
